Have you head the Notes in Spanish podcasts? Do you use Edpuzzle? For AP Spanish® Unit 6, I made an MP4 recording of the audio for the podcast about Climate Change, and uploaded it to Edpuzzle! I inserted multiple choice, auto-graded questions into the recording to help students to find the right spot in the podcast to find the answer. The auto-grading of Edpuzzle is not only a time-saver for teachers, but allows students to have feedback on what answers they got right or wrong!

If you've never heard the Notes in Spanish Podcasts before, here is some info!

From their website:

Who are we?

Ben Curtis and Marina Diez live in Madrid, Spain, and have been making Spanish-learning podcasts since 2005, with over 40 Million downloads since then.

We bring you real Spanish conversations on real-life topics, making you totally confident with your Spanish.

From me: Ben and Marina have Beginner and Intermediate level podcasts on a range of topics. I love listening to them! Ben is not a native speaker of Spanish, but Marina is! This married couple converses about every day, relevant topics, and helps students learn vocabulary and even slang expressions that are part of every day Spanish language!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Intermediate Level and higher
• AP Spanish® students studying Climate Change

How can I use this product?

• Assign this Edpuzzle to your students via Google Classroom or share the link with them

The Global Challenges unit of AP Spanish® has many interesting contexts, including the environment. This digital and printable article talks about the effects of global warming in Antarctica, and explains the paradox of how rising temperatures actually cause more snow! Distance learners can complete this via a Google Doc or by doing the auto-graded goformative version. Students who prefer paper copies can have a print-out! Save time searching the net to find a good article, and save more time by letting goformative grade this for you! Another benefit to the goformative version is that students can see the article side by side with the questions, and the questions are embedded just where they can find the answer! It's a great scaffold for students still developing their reading comprehension skills!

This article is good for students who are ready for a challenge and/or who like science. It's a little longer than the other article I posted for this unit, but the embedded questions make this accessible for students!

• Use this as one source of information for class discussions, debates or cultural comparisons

What's included in this product?
