The accompanying comprehension questions are digital for distance learners and printable for in-person learners, and they are customizable to make them just right for your students’ needs!

It talks about the possibilities and the human and animal consequences that would occur. This video is accompanied by short answer comprehension questions.

Of course, both viewing guides come with a teacher answer key, and all questions can be edited to suit your needs!

Take your students to Spain with this fun one-of-a-kind Field Trip

Includes a Guide where students will write-in Answers as they navigate through my Virtual Field TRIP!

Part of my Game-Based Learning Project!

• FUN
• SUB-FRIENDLY
• CULTURAL ACTIVITY
• PRACTICE SPANISH
• WRITE IN SPANISH
• READ IN SPANISH

Please click on the link icon to access the Virtual Field TRIP (the link is embedded to the PDF).

So the AP Spanish® Exam is over... now what?? The end of the year means that you can do FUN and CREATIVE things with students that keep them interested and motivated! This digital or printable art project is a great way to end the year and let students show off other talents! We also get the opportunity to do some cross-disciplinary work and collaborate with colleagues if you choose!

First students choose a global challenge to research- one that interests them!

Next, students imitate a style of art to create an original work of art that uses symbolism to demonstrate the theme of their artwork.

Finally, students write a detailed description of their thought process while planning their work as well as what elements of symbolism they used and why.

When the projects are turned in, the teacher can set them up (around the classroom or in another spot in your school). Their descriptions accompany their artwork. Included in this project are a gallery walk note-taking table as well as comment cards. Students enjoy getting feedback from their peers! And the gallery walk chart helps them engage with the work of their peers and to think more deeply.

Another great option is to collaborate with an art teacher or another Spanish class. You can also simply invite other classes to view your gallery, and administrators too! Let them fill out comment cards for your students!

How long will this take? It really depends! You may choose to let students do a lot of the research and planning in class, but you can also assign this for homework.

I find that the making of the art has to be done at home so that they have access to the supplies they need.

The writing of the description can be done in class or at home as well.

The gallery walk takes at least one class period. If you have multiple classes participating, you could allow more time if you choose.

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 4 or AP® (though it can be modified for students who are not as advanced in their language yet!)

What's included in this project?

• 1 page of teacher notes to help make this project run smoothly, for other ideas and modifications
• Student instructions (in Spanish)
• Student rubric (in Spanish)
• Student planning sheet (in Spanish)
• 1 page gallery walk template with a spot for student artist names and 3 thought-provoking questions for students to consider while they view others' projects
• 1 page of comment cards (Google Doc) with 4 comment cards on 1 page (can be photocopied to make more)
• a link to a Google Slides presentation which contains the Gallery Walk template and the Comment Card template, but also 5 options for backgrounds for students to write their descriptions in, to make them look nice and professional
• All of these elements are fully customizable to ensure that each part is just right for your students!
