$5 - $10 11th Grade Spanish Google Apps (by price, low to high)

Make learning about Spain interesting with this no-prep digital escape game.  The game includes access to a website where your students will hunt for the keys to unlock a set of locks.  Students will need to read the clues very carefully and watch videos, visit websites, and read texts to find the information they need to win the game.  Very easy to use - just send your students to the website and let them work!  Students can play individually or in teams. 

This game is about the country of Spain and some interesting historical and tourist sites. Students will learn about the Barcelona, Pamplona, Valencia, Granada and Segovia. There are two versions of the game - one in English (for general culture and lower level Spanish classes) and one in Spanish (clues and resources are in Spanish - challenging, meant for upper levels and heritage speakers).

Digital escape games are a fun way to start a unit, or to review at the end of a unit.  They can also be used to learn about a cultural or historical event.  This game will have your students reading carefully and paying attention to the smallest details in order to complete the challenge and unlock the locks.  

This item includes:

• Access to a website where your students can play the game
• Complete teacher's guide to playing the game
• Answer key so you can help students if they get stuck!

Your students will enjoy learning without even realizing that they are learning!  The challenging game format will get them excited about finding the code to unlock each lock - and the format of the clues for each lock will have them paying close attention - there's no way to solve the puzzles  without being 100% focused! 

Topics in this game include:

• Barcelona
• Pamplona
• Valencia
• Granada
• Segovia

Prep is very easy - you just need to share the website URL with your students.  You may want to test the site before you use it, just to make sure nothing is blocked by your district.  As some of the clues can be challenging to unlock, you may choose to help your students with the trickier ones.  With the teacher guide, you will have the answer key - so you can help guide students towards the correct answer by giving them hints, or if you have limited time, you can adjust the game by reducing the number of locks they need to unlock - just give them the answer(s) to help the activity fit your time constraints.

Spanish students can practice conversing with these simulated conversations.  Answering questions can be difficult for students, but these 5 (MORE) interpersonal speaking tasks give students some general information about what they will hear and how they should answer.  An audio link accompanies each conversation, with a 20 second timed pause for students to answer.  There is also a rubric for easy feedback!

These simulated conversations mimic the AP Spanish Simulated Conversation task and are also great practice for Seal of Biliteracy tests (like AAPPL) where interpersonal speaking is one of the tasks. Start practicing early!

Need a fun way to start the year in World Language class?  How about a team-building  game!  This reading about why students should learn another language goes from dull to exciting as students work together and move around the room to solve a mystery!  This is a simple “print and go” with no work for the teacher!  This is a great way to get the year started with new students, or to provide motivation when you see interest and effort waning.  This activity is in English, and can be used by any World Language class!

All World Language teachers want to motivate and encourage our students, and help them see the value of becoming proficient in the language they’re studying. This story gives 10 teen-friendly reasons why it’s so beneficial to prioritize learning a new language! 

The story revolves around two teens trying to decide what classes to take.  Your students play the role of the mystery solvers.  They have to read all 10 parts of the story to figure out the answer to the final question;  what will the students grow up to be in their career?   While your students read the story parts, they are looking for “code words” in the story.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of teens’  future career.  It’s so much fun! 

After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students.  There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a “tell me in your own words” summary activity, an opportunity to work with a group and write a story about a adventure the teens will have in their career (which can be done in the TL),  and an activity where they can explore possible careers for bilingual people.   Answer key to the True/False is also included.  Best of all?  If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!

• Students taking a World Language
• Middle or High School 

How can I use this product?

• Print out the reading cards (10)
• Hang them up around your room

    After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students.  There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a graphic organizer for students to organize notes about famous hispanos, a “tell me in your own words” activity,  and a writing follow up where students use their reading comprehension and critical thinking to invent an explanation for why the voting board chose this person as the winner.  Answer key to the True/False is also included.  Best of all?  If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!

The reading cards are written in Spanish for Novice High/Intermediate Low.  The questions are written in English, and answers will be in English as well.  The instructions and mission are written in English.

Looking for a variety of ready-to-use activities for Diwali?  Your Spanish students will love all the activities in this Diwali resource! There are 6 different activities, already differentiated and scaffolded, so you can use this with all of your classes from Year 2 and up!  Reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing and more are all included!

The reading is written in Spanish and is purposefully divided into small paragraphs with accompanying pictures.  This visual trick makes the reading seem less overwhelming to students, and makes it easy for them to know where to read to find the answers to the English comprehension questions.  Words that may be unfamiliar are underlined and included in the vocab list!  Need an element of fun?  Read the link within this resource to learn how to turn the reading and questions into a fun group game!

You can check comprehension in other ways too!  A list of 10 True/False statements in Spanish is included for you to read to students.  This brings in listening comprehension while you reinforce new vocabulary and new learning. Answer keys for both the reading questions and the True/False questions are included.

Next, you may want your students to write or speak about what they learned.  Use the linked bookmarks in the teacher instructions to take a quick view of the questions.  Decide if you want them to write or record a presentational speaking, and then use the student version papers to print or post!

Do you want them to make comparisons?  Scaffold this for students with lower proficiency by having them use the helpful vocab on the vocab sheet!  Decide if you want them to write or record, and assign the questions that are already in a student friendly version!

Last but not least, help students work on their interpersonal speaking!  There are 2 guided conversations that help students know how to keep their conversation going without telling them exactly what to say!

Looking for ways to make writing fun for your Spanish students?  If you need differentiated and engaging activities to help students level up their presentational writing and reading comprehension, this is the resource for you!  Students will write together in groups, help each other by doing a peer edit, and later read and answer questions about the characters they have created. 

Step 1: Students pretend they are the teacher, and need to leave detailed notes about the students in their class for a substitute.  In groups, students follow the specific instructions to describe each student. Each group will get 4 writing sheets which contain a picture of a student and space to write.  There are 20 different students in all. The instructions ask student to describe each person.  What are they like?  What do they like to do?  What are their future plans?  What’s important to them?  Do you have fast finishers?  No problem- there’s an extension activity for them!  They can help you create questions about what they wrote that will be used in step 3!

Step 2:  After taking a quick glance at their work, set students up in pairs.  I usually do this the next day.  They will trade papers and use the peer edit instruction sheet to suggest ways to improve their writing.

Step 3:  Another day, hang the descriptions around the room.  Create simple questions for students to answer while they read around the room!  *This works great as a quick review for a quiz!  Students love it because they are allowed to be out of their seats!

Differentiation:

-This resource comes with differentiated instructions appropriate for Year 3, or Intermediate Low.

-Students can use new vocabulary along with things they already know how to say to create connected sentences, and attempt to use more than one time frame.

-To level this down, change the instructions to include topics students know how to talk about.

-To level this up, change the instructions to ask for more details and require other times frames. 

Who can use this product?

• Students in Spanish 1 through Spanish 4.  It’s easily modified for any level!

How can I use this product?

• Students will work collaboratively in part one.
• Next they work in pairs
• Finally, they will read and answer questions.  This can be done alone, in pairs or in small groups!

What’s included in this product?

• Teacher instructions for all parts of the assignment
• 20 writing pages, each with a unique color image and name of the student
• Instructions for students to explain their purpose and audience
• Editable instructions for what to include in their writing
• Another set of instructions for an honors level class
• A space for you to add your department rubric look-fors
• An extension activity for fast finishers (make questions about what you wrote)
