Thanks for stopping by!

Back To School is here! The AP Spanish Language and Culture® Complete Lesson Plans for the Whole Year includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this course without being tied to a particular textbook!  Lesson plans are written by unit, and include specific, step-by-step instructions, # of minutes per activity, and every activity is linked into the lesson plans.  That means:

-no searching a folder for a particular activity!

-no searching the internet for authentic materials!

-no scrambling to make scaffolds and supports to make your materials accessible!

-no guesswork as to how or what to teach next!

Perfect for:

*Teachers teaching this course for the first time

*Teachers who need a refresh after teaching the course for a while

*Teachers feeling overloaded with all the responsibilities of the job

You can expect the following in each unit of study:

-a table that lists the types of activities and how many of each there are (view these in the previews)

-a table of learning objectives for each class for the entire unit (view these in the previews)

*Click HERE to download the learning objectives and activity count*

-Google Docs lesson plans with daily learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, teacher tips and explanations, and activities linked in

-embedded direct instruction and practice for the different parts of the AP Spanish® Exam

-Lessons organized by 3 45 minute periods and 1 90 minute period (our school uses a modified block schedule). The lesson activities are easy to move around to meet your school's schedule!

When we unexpectedly went to distance learning, I had to scramble as an AP Spanish® teacher. My students did not have access to their textbooks or the audio that went with it.  We used the Temas text, but I found that I had to adapt.  So, my lesson plans are now based almost entirely on authentic materials that I have found and curated.  I have created vocab lists around these materials and the activities that will go with them!  There are times during the lesson plans where I offer a suggestion from something that is found in the Temas textbook, but these lessons can be used fully without those suggestions.

Along with the honor of teaching our most advanced Spanish students comes the burden of heavy correcting and tons of planning.  We also have other preps.  Having an entire year’s worth of curriculum, lesson plans, projects and assessments ready to go will save you an incredible amount of time and relieve some of the pressure that we face as teachers. 

In my classes, we also review grammar and use the Avance text as a guide.  I include a study guide and a grammar quiz in each unit, but the practice activities (if you want to review grammar in class) are not included.

Required Materials:

-Access to the Internet and Google Docs/Slides/Forms

-Access to AP Classroom® via College Board  (free to all AP ®Teachers)

Referenced ancillary materials (though not necessary)

-Temas textbook

-Avance Grammar textbook

-A test prep workbook (several are suggested in the plans, though not needed)

Here is some feedback about my unit plans!

Extremely satisfied

Thank you so much for creating these! They are so helpful to have in class. My students were very engaged.

Extremely satisfied

Amazing resource! I have already purchased Unit 2 and 3!

Extremely satisfied

Extremely well planned unit. Everything you need is included here. I teach 3 different levels of Spanish and it is hard for me to revamp lesson plans. We use the textbook TEMAS at my school site but the readings can be very dry. I like how this unit incorporates soooo many resources that are authentic. 

I am definitely going to purchase more units. I wish there was a discounted bundle with all units because I would buy it!

Why should you trust me??

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  As I am still a classroom teacher, my activities and ideas evolve each year.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. I am successfully teaching this course in conjunction with the University of CT as another way for students to earn college credit. My former students report taking Spanish classes at the college/university level and having a high level of success!  

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!   

**Please be sure to buy additional licenses if more than one teacher plans to use this resource.**

This is a great project for APES or Biology! I used it for both, but for Biology I made some of the last tasks optional and changed some of the upper tasks to weigh a little bit more to balance it out to 100%. It includes the rubric, which is a checklist for the students and also for your grading convenience!

The students love it! It can be done individually or in pairs. It can be a gallery walk or presented to the class. I hope you and your students enjoy!

Here are the instructions: You will research a biome that you select from the proposed list. While researching your biome, you will learn about commonalities, locations, community interactions within it, and look at any environmental issues associated with the biome. The final part of your project will be a free-standing display on a poster board of all the information you gathered and you will be prepared to present this information to the class. Below is a rubric showing the research required for your display, and their point value. You will be presenting this to the class!

Do not simply “cut & paste” your information! It must be your own writing. Failure to use your own work is plagiarism!

Take the guesswork out of grading group work with this set of 7 Groupwork Rubrics. These rubrics make grading, feedback, and student reflection clear and consistent, so both teachers and students know exactly what’s expected. Perfect for middle and high school classrooms, the set covers a wide range of groupwork skills and situations—whether you’re checking in on a quick activity, evaluating a long-term project, or helping students reflect on their own collaboration habits. With multiple formats to choose from, it’s easy to adapt these rubrics to fit your teaching style and classroom needs.

Each rubric comes in two variations:

⭐ One version with just the rubric for simple scoring

⭐ One version with a comments and feedback section at the bottom so teachers can provide specific notes on strengths and areas for improvement

This flexibility makes it easy to choose the right format for your grading style and classroom needs.

All 7 rubrics also come with an editable version, giving teachers the flexibility to adjust criteria, point values, or wording to match their own classroom needs. This makes it easy to customize the rubrics for different subjects, grade levels, or specific group projects. After making edits, you can easily upload the customized version to Google Slides for digital use with your students.

Looking for a figurative language activity for William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? This resource invites students to identify various types of figurative language found in Romeo and Juliet. The resource features a glossary with definitions of 7 types of figurative language as well as examples of how they're used in passages from the play. The resource also includes a three-page quiz in which students have to identify the type of figurative language used in each of 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. For teachers, the resource features an answer key that will enable you to grade students' quizzes quickly and efficiently.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 7-page resource:

• Glossary of Figurative Language: The glossary features definitions for the 7 types of figurative language which appear most prominently in Romeo and Juliet: metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole. The glossary also includes examples of how Shakespeare uses each type of figurative language in passages from early scenes in the Romeo and Juliet. So you'll be able to review the types of figurative language with students before they've finished the play — and before they take the quiz. (1 page)
• Quiz on Figurative Language: The quiz challenges students to identify 7 types of figurative language — metaphor, simile, paradox, oxymoron, personification, apostrophe, and hyperbole — used across 40 quotations from Romeo and Juliet. (3 pages)

This entire resource will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students — year after year! If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions — which are easy to navigate and quick to print.
