This workbook allows you to reflect and gain insight into who you are – Discovering and clarifying your values, identity and sense of belonging. We say “discover” or “clarify” because our values are already a part of us. We just need to dig a little and find them. Knowing and living your values is essentially a map on how to be more authentic (or more yourself).

Your personal values are like a roadmap to live your life by. The destination is your authentic expression. They will provide you with clarity and vision, as well as confidence to stay the distance. Knowing your values means that you can easily get back on track even if you stray off the path.

Everyone has personal values. By acknowledging and living your values you bring an awareness and rhythm to your life, a sense of inner peace and understanding. Aligning yourself with your values can also help you to live an authentic life.

By exploring and narrowing down your personal values through this workbook you are clarifying what is important to you and show a commitment to making those values a priority.

This mini-lesson explores the following:

-Personal Values are important – why?

-I know who I am (worksheet)

-What are values?

-Living an intentional life (core values list)

-Questions about your core values (reflective questions)

-What are your Core Values (worksheet)

-Your Personal Values in Action (worksheet)

-What shapes our values?

-Experiences shape values

-Generational Impacts interview activity (3-part activity)

-Your values Question Summary

-Living Intentionally – Setting Goals

-Creating your personal values statement (craft)

30 SPANISH speaking question cards - The weather

Want your students to use their Weather vocabulary in fun and meaningful conversations? You can use this NO PREP activity year after year as a fun way to encourage your students to speak more to each other about EL TIEMPO. This resource is suitable for any curriculum in which SPANISH is the language spoken, and will work best for students in 6th to 12th grade.

You can use these cards after learning specific weather vocabulary or as a fun interactive activity on any day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way.

All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities. A pdf with only one card per page is included for easy projection when you don't want to print.

Included:
➱ 30 speaking prompt cards
➱ PDF version to project and avoid printing (1 card per page to project)
➱ 9 ways to use these cards

There are many ways you can use this set of task cards:

✫ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.

✫ Project the pdf file in class to work in group or with your whole class and avoid printing.

✫ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.

✫ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.

✫ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.

✫ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.

✫ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.

✫ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.

✫ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.

✫ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.

The stories include regular verbs, stem-changing verbs, reflexive verbs (olvidarse, dormirse, despertarse, and enamorarse) and irregular verbs (ir, ser, estar, tener, “yo-go” verbs, etc).

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for the end of Spanish 1 or as a review of the present tense in Spanish 2.
