The Argumentative Essay on the AP Spanish Language and Culture® exam is arguably one of the most challenging parts! Students need a guided way to reflect on their argumentative essay writing and improve it. I needed a way to differentiate instruction and streamline feedback. I created a step-by-step organizer that is digital and printable, so it can be used with Distance Learning or when you have students in person.

This graphic organizer independent work is perfect to assign after students have written one essay for a grade or for feedback and are getting ready to write another one. It takes students through a series of steps asking them to reflect on their past work and the feedback it received. It asks them to review the rules and requirements of the argumentative essay, and it asks them to write certain parts of 2 practice essays. These smaller parts are sections of the essay that, when done well, set the student up for success with the rest of the essay. These small parts will be turned in for feedback from the teacher.

All parts of this product can be changed or customized to meet your students' individual needs!

• Teachers can give fast and personal feedback on student work as the students will only be writing certain parts of the argumentative essay

What's Included in this Product?

• 2 pages of teacher notes that explain exactly how and why I use this product, and ideas for customizing it to student needs

While Thanksgiving isn't widely observed throughout the Spanish-speaking world, American students certainly love to talk turkey!

Why not capitalize on this excitement by squeezing in a little extra Spanish vocabulary enrichment and giving yourself a break at the same time?

This resource includes a list of 25 Thanksgiving vocabulary words in Spanish with 8 different fun practice worksheets. You can use all these versatile activities in a single instructional day or parcel them out as bell-ringers, homework, or exit tickets throughout the month of November.

Files include:

1. Vocabulary List: Kickstart the lesson with a curated list of 25 Thanksgiving-related words in Spanish. Includes people, foods, tableware and activities.
2. Repetition-Based Learning: Utilize the power of repetition to solidify vocabulary retention. Students will practice writing Thanksgiving words multiple times, enhancing their memory and fluency.
3. Categorizing: Engage your students in critical thinking as they categorize their new vocabulary by grouping it into different cornucopia.
4. Drawing and Labeling: Tap into your students' artistic side as they sketch and label their new words. They will label an existing place setting and draw and label a Thanksgiving meal. This activity promotes creativity while reinforcing vocabulary and spelling.
5. Word Search: This activity enhances spelling, vocabulary recognition, and problem-solving skills.
6. Short Answer: Provide an opportunity for students to apply the vocabulary in meaningful ways. By constructing responses, students connect the vocabulary to specific contexts, demonstrating their understanding of how the words are used. This application helps with recall and enhances their ability to use it effectively. Questions are in English.
7. Magic Square: Learners must analyze the available options and find the correct matches. This process stimulates critical thinking, encourages logical reasoning, and enhances cognitive skills, all while reinforcing the vocabulary.
8. Leaves of Gratitude: Students reflect on the blessings in their lives by using new and existing vocabulary to state what they are thankful for.
9. Code Breaker: Decoding the vocabulary is like solving a puzzle. It encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as learners work to match the symbols to the correct letters to form vocabulary while providing ongoing review and reinforcement..

This year you can be thankful for busy and engaged students!
