Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening are all included in these activities! Save money by getting all 4 no-prep culture activities together! 

The Youth Hostels activity is a great one to use during a travel unit!  It contains a Google Slides presentation to explain what youth hostels are and what they look like.  It has a short video embedded so students can really see what youth hostels can offer.  There is a reading activity linked in (with an answer key) as well!  This activity is geared for students in Years 2, 3 and 4.  Read more HERE.

Vacaciones en España focuses on a trip to the beach town of Benidorm, on the West Coast of Spain.  This Google Slides presentation contains vibrant photos of real people, which makes it engaging for students.  Each slide comes with text to explain what they’re seeing. Within the presentation are links to reading, writing, speaking and listening activities.  This activity is great for a travel theme and when students are starting to learn the past tense!

Avila is a similar format to Vacaciones en España. The Google Slides™ presentation contains original photographs from Ávila, Spain, a beautiful and medieval city to the north of Madrid. Each slide contains text taking students through Ávila’s past (its incredible walls, towers and cathedral) and present-day life with some views of the city!  The text is mainly written in both present and past (preterite and imperfect) and therefore is great for Years 2, 3 and 4. Read more HERE. 

The Escape Room is a student favorite! It comes in a Spanish and English version, and students must follow the clues to help solve a crime.  The clues take them all around Spain where they will learn about various aspects of the culture.  Each clue they solve reveals the next clue!

Spanish writing prompts, especially when you make them into a group challenge, are a great way to get your Spanish 2, 3 or students writing, improving and learning from others!  

Your Spanish students will look forward to working together to create writing that meets and exceeds the standards you’re looking for!  Writing together allows peers to learn from each other and takes away some of the pressure when writing alone. The themes are relevant and interesting to students and promote creativity with language. 

All of these resources help give the teacher the resource of time!  The group challenges provide you the chance to offer specific feedback, but on just one paper per group instead of one for every student!  And peer editing is another way for students to receive feedback without the need for the teacher to correct everything. 

Growing Bundles are a great deal!  First, you get a discount over buying each resource separately.  But BEST OF ALL, each time I add a new resource, you can download it for free!  (The price for the resource will change as I add each new resource, but anyone who has already bought the resource pays the lower price, but gets to download new additions for free!)

 This bundle includes:

-A Vacation-themed (preterite and imperfect) group challenge writing prompt

-A New Year’s themed group challenge writing prompt (all tenses can be used)

-A future themed group writing challenge

-A fall themed group writing challenge (present or past)

-A winter themed group writing challenge (present or past)

-A peer editing template

-A vocab list that breaks down words that add sophistication into transition words, key words for time frame and sequencing words

-some themes are differentiated by levels

Who can use this product?

• Spanish 2, 3 and 4 primarily, but all activities can be adapted up or down
• Some of the writing prompts are already differentiated by proficiency level!

How can I use this product?

• Students write together to create a high quality piece of writing
• Students peer edit others’ work with a specific set of guidelines to ensure quality feedback
• Students refer to a reference of sophistication words each time they write to improve their vocabulary with words that add sophistication
