Do you struggle to present new vocabulary in a comprehensible way while staying completely in the target language? Then this fun PowerPoint™️ presentation is a great way to introduce or review tener idioms with your elementary or secondary class. There are 23 terms represented on individual slides (plus a title page and a terms of use page). Links to the Google Slides™️ version of the presentation are also included in this zipped file.

The terms represented include:

• tener que
• tener ganas de
• tener hambre
• tener la culpa
• tener vergüenza
• ...and more!

Each slide is animated so that the picture appears first, followed by the Spanish term. The presentation is almost completely free of English, but still very comprehensible, thanks to the great clip art. My students really enjoy when we use this as a review with whiteboards. Make sure to check out the preview for a complete list of terms. Please note that the terms in the presentation are NOT editable, although slides may be deleted or rearranged.

**Please note that the pictures in the animated slideshows are covered by white boxes that are animated to disappear when in presentation mode. When viewing the presentation in any mode other than “presentation mode”, it looks like there aren’t any pictures.**

Direct your Spanish students’ excitement about winter break with this Digital Escape Room about how Christmas is celebrated in Spanish-speaking countries! Your students will LOVE this FUN challenge!  They will work in groups to solve “clues” (which are actually content related learning + questions) and figure out how to unlock the digital  locks to gain access to the next clue!  All the while they will learn about why Christmas is important in Spanish-speaking countries and what some popular traditions are.  They will end their challenge by making some cultural comparisons.

This FUN Escape Room Challenge is suitable for Spanish students in grades 7-12!  The learning and questions are written in English, though there is a video in Spanish with English subtitles and a vocab puzzle which will require students to match Spanish terms related to Christmas with their English translations.  (Students will learn these words through their reading/viewing during the challenge.) There are teacher instructions and hints/explanations about how to solve the puzzles in case your students need some help. I have updated some parts to have easier versions for middle school students!

How can I use this product?

• Divide your students into groups of 3 or 4

Situation Task Cards are a great way to get your Spanish 2, 3 and 4 students talking and using language creatively!  These cards are geared towards accidents and injuries (Realidades 2 has a unit on Accidents and Natural Disasters, but these are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

There are 20 different scenarios which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. Included on the cards are words that students may need, but perhaps may not be part of a vocabulary list. The task cards come in 3 versions!  First I have a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version.

Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet!  And best of all, all parts of this resource can be edited to suit your students’ needs!

Who can use this product?

• Appropriate for students in Spanish 2, 3 and 4
• Intermediate Low

How can I use this product?

• Teacher ideas included in the slides!
• Pair students and have them take turns telling stories based on their scenario
• Ask students to give peer feedback or self-assess
• Display task cards on your Smartboard for the class.  Have one partner make up a story.  Set a timer and challenge them to try to talk the entire time!  Change the slide and have the other partner take a turn!
• Use these task cards as multiple versions of a speaking assessment.  This allows for student choice and/or prevents students sharing the exact task for advance preparation.
• These task cards can also be used for writing prompts!

What’s included in this product?

• Teacher instructions and ideas for how to use these Situation Task Cards
• Version 1: 20 digital slides to be presented to the class
• Version 2: 20 printable cards in an attractive color

Want your Spanish students to learn about Day of the Dead , but  reading comprehension is getting boring in your Spanish class?  Turn it into a game!  This mystery-solving reading about Día de Muertos  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!  

   Students investigate with Maria, a young person from Mexico, while she tries to understand more about a former member of her town.  He visits the townspeople all year, not just during Día de Muertos.  Why can’t he rest in peace?   While they read the parts, they are also looking for “code words”.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of how/why he died.   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 graphic organizer for students to learn more about the specific items related to Day of the Dead, 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 who this lost soul was and why he died the way he did.  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 English for your Novice classes.  The questions are written in English and answers will be in English as well.  The instructions and mission are written in English.  Students get the benefit of learning about a cultural event while using teamwork!

**If your students are ready for reading in Spanish, check out the Spanish version of this Scavenger Hunt!   And if you  have classes at both levels, buy them in a bundle to save money!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 1 and up

How can I use this product?

• Print out the reading cards (10)
• Hang them up around your room
• Print and copy the answer sheet
• Let students loose to solve the mystery!

This product contains a 3-part activity to practice writing, speaking and listening for any level of Spanish!  Use these Google activities for distance learning or for students who are in person. Increase motivation and proficiency on the ACTFL scale with this digital activity!

First, students write a short story about a picture related to the unit theme.  They follow a small list of requirements that are fully customizable.  (This activity is written to ask students to use the future tense, but with a few key strokes, this activity can be changed to any tense!)

Next, students will record their story using a recording website.  My students use vocaroo.com.  They will link their recording in a chart.  (There is a sample class chart included in the instructions.)  Students will also create comprehension questions for their story and list them in their chart.

Last, students will listen to a classmate’s recording and answer the accompanying questions. They can use the included peer feedback sheet to offer constructive comments on specific elements of the recording!

I used this during 3 time periods: the writing was done in class, the recording was done for homework, and the listening was done in the next class.  Teachers with block classes could use this activity in one class.

Who can use this product?

• Students at the Novice level and up

This Spanish Verb Tenses Project is perfect to review all the tenses students have learned! Spanish students will write sentences in the present, past and future related to themes that are familiar to them. The rubric will provide fast and specific feedback so students can fix any mistakes! Students can complete this verb tense project individually or in groups. Teachers may assign this as one big project or in smaller parts.

Though teachers can customize (and either add or reduce these tenses), students will create 5 slides, each with 6 sentences. The 6 sentences represent the 6 tenses students have learned so far (present, present progressive, preterite, imperfect, imperfect progressive and future). Students choose a theme for each slide, such as travel, summer, food, etc. They write sentences in each tense to practice 1) how to form each tense, 2) connecting the name of the tense with what it looks like and 3) what each verb tense means in English. Students can customize the design of each slide as well! Students can keep their completed project for future reference as they continue their language learning.

The rubric is designed for teachers to tell students which slide and which tenses on each slide are correct or have an error to make feedback fast and specific!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Novice High proficiency level and up
• Students at the end of Year 1 and up

How to use this product:

• Use this activity individually or as group or partner work
• Assign this activity as a practice or as an assessment for a grade
• Assign this activity in parts or as one bigger project
• Customize the tenses that you want students to use

What is included:

• Teacher instructions
• Student instructions
• Slide layouts for student work
• Rubric
• Rubric example (for teachers to see how I use this rubric)

Need a FAST way to formatively assess your Spanish students?  This Minuto loco (Mad Minute) Spanish conjugating activity can be digital or print, but it’s a tried and true method to conjugating with speed and accuracy.  Students seem to really focus and work intently when we give them a time limit.  It reminds them of memorizing their math facts when they were in elementary school, and in a way, memorizing endings for verbs is no different!  But turning the important skill of conjugating into a short and fun game is very motivating for students.

The best thing about this resource is that it is ready to go, for any level, for any verb tense! You can use this resource over and over again in each class, and every school year!  It is so easy to tailor to your curriculum, vocabulary or grammar!  Having everything you need in one place is such a time saver, and all the irregulars of particular tenses are worked in!  Students love this, and enjoy tracking their progress over time!

Who can use this product?

• Students at any level of Spanish

How can I use this product?

• Print or digitally assign a page 
• Use as a warm up, a class activity, a homework assignment or even a quiz!
• Time students (1-2 minutes), and correct in class.  Use a copy of the same sheet for several classes to track improvement in speed and accuracy!

What’s included in this product?

• 1 page of Teacher Notes with suggestions for many ways to use this resource

• 10 different conjugating sheets that focus on the following kinds of verbs:

It's Back To School Time! How can you get parents, guardians and families involved in your Spanish class?  Use these templates to communicate with parents at the beginning of the year!  These digital or printable Google Docs are just waiting for your personal touch and details!  Start the new year with high parent engagement!

The first doc is a letter for families which introduces their child’s new Spanish teacher (you!) and asks parents to tell you about their child. **Parents love to tell you about their kids and being asked let’s them know right away that you care!

The second doc is a similar letter, but tailored for the parents/guardians of AP Spanish students.

The 3rd doc is a request for guest speakers.  Why not let our families know how much their life experience is valued?  Send this letter to find out if there are any family members, friends or colleagues that use Spanish in their lives!  **This document is part of my Spanish Back to School Survival Pack for Middle and High School bundle!!**

The 4th doc is a hand-out to give parents, perhaps at Open House Night?  It lists several ways in which parents can help their child succeed in Spanish class, even if they don’t know Spanish.  It’s a great way to empower parents and to give them actionable strategies to be involved with their child’s learning on a regular basis. 

The last doc is a study guide template.  I send this via email about a week before an important assessment.  It’s a great way to keep families in the loop as we encourage them to be involved in their child’s Spanish education!

All of these documents are almost ready to send out!  You can edit and personalize all of them, and they can be printed out or emailed home.  Start your school year with strong partnerships and high parent involvement!

Who can use this product?

• Teachers of Secondary Spanish (Year 1 through AP Spanish)

How can I use this product?

• Personalize the documents to suit your needs
• Engage families by mailing, handing out at Open House night, emailing or asking students to bring documents home to families

What’s included in this product?

• 1 letter for parents/guardians of Spanish students (not in AP Level)
• 1 letter for parents/guardians of AP Spanish students
• 1 letter to request guest speakers
• 1 handout for parents listing ways they can help their children with Spanish
• 1 study guide template that can be emailed to parents/guardians
