$5 - $10 9th Grade World Languages Activities (by price, low to high)

Do your Spanish students need some help with interpersonal speaking?  Are they struggling to have conversations in Spanish?  Let’s give them some guided support with these partner conversations about Jobs & Employment!  Both students will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions as part of a conversation, but with a lot of scaffolding to build confidence.  Guided conversations provide general guidance about how to keep the conversation going without telling students exactly what to say. 

There are 4 guided conversations, so both students will have a chance to ask and answer questions in a conversational way.  Two versions are for Intermediate Low students, but are pre-differentiated.  2 of the conversations are based mainly in the present tense, and the other 2 feature future and past tenses. 

Who can use this product?

• Spanish students in year 2 and up

How can I use this product?

• Students will work in partners to participate in a guided conversation
• Students will trade roles so both can practice asking questions and answering questions
• Teachers can assign these conversations as practice or as an assessment
• Students can practice the same conversations with multiple partners to increase comfort and proficiency!

What’s included in this product?

• Teacher Notes
• 4 different guided partner conversations about hobbies and free time
• The conversations provide a scenario/topic of conversation
• The conversations provide general ideas about what to ask and answer to make it easier for students to keep their conversation going.
• 2 Present Tense versions and 2 more complex versions
• Student reflection sheets for each level

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

Do your students struggle with the preterite vs imperfect tenses? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of Hansel y Gretel is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the preterite and the imperfect, along with reading comprehension skills. Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this tricky grammar topic from dry and boring to engaging and fun!

The familiar story of Hansel and Gretel is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the preterite and imperfect tenses in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes three versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between the preterite and imperfect tenses of the verb.
• Version B also has the verbs already conjugated, but in addition to choosing the correct form of the verb, students must explain why they chose the preterite or imperfect.
• Versions A and B also include true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version C includes only the infinitive, so they must first decide which tense to use and then fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb.
• Version C also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Versions A and C are both two pages long, while version B is three pages long. The three different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

• a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
• a ten-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
• a teacher tips page.

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

This story would make a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for Spanish 2 or as a review of the Preterite vs Imperfect tenses at the beginning of Spanish 3 or 4.

**Please Note: this is the same story as my Hansel y Gretel – Simple Present Tense story in the past.

Do your students struggle with the conjugating verbs in the present tense? Then this amazing fairy tale activity is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with the classic story of la Bella Durmiente is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the present tense, along with reading comprehension skills.

Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this dry and boring grammar topic into something engaging and fun!

The familiar story of Sleeping Beauty is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the present tense in Spanish with easy differentiation.

This file includes two versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between two different forms of the verb.
• Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must fill in the blank with the correct present tense form of the verb.
• Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Both versions of the story are two pages long, with a separate page of comprehension questions. The two different versions make differentiation simple!

Also included in this download is:

• a mini pictorial vocabulary list in color and black and white
• an eight-slide mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story or summarize the story in six parts)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
• a teacher tips page

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

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.

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!
