Have you tried Integrated Listening and Speaking activities with your Spanish students?  Use these IPA activities with the theme of Daily Routine to get students listening and responding- just like in tests like AAPPL for the Seal of Biliteracy!  Integrated Performance Assessments mimic real-world interactions, and these activities are great practice for communication!

These no-prep activities include everything you need to assign and go!  Each activity has 5 audio links for a total of 10 prompts.  Students listen to the audio and record a logical response.  They will hear common expressions used on the AAPPL Test like “Hazme preguntas, cuéntame and dame detalles”.  The prompts and responses require the use of the present tense, though one prompt refers “last night”.

The teacher script allows you to correct with ease or even record your own voice if you choose. There are lots of notes and ideas for teachers so you know just how to use this activity! Finally, students can self-assess with the included rubric.  The 2 activities are created with different levels of complexity, so you can differentiate for different levels amongst your students, or use them at different points in your unit!

Need a summer homework assignment for your incoming AP Spanish*®* students? Look no further- this Google Doc assignment is already done for you! Digital or printable, this summer homework has everything you need. Students will read, listen, write and then speak when school starts again! Students will have guided choices about what they choose to read and listen to!

There are very clear, specific instructions for each part, and they are written in English to avoid any misunderstandings over the summer. Also included in this resource is the rubric to grade the writing and speaking portions, a graphic organizer for students to use to help them be sure they have completed each part, and a note-taking sheet for the listening section.

This assignment will keep students using their Spanish over the summer without expecting too much time on homework in the summer months. It will also give teachers a way to assess where each student is in their speaking and writing skills at the beginning of the school year! Best of all- this assignment, once it's yours, can be edited and customized to suite your preferences and your students' needs! Breathe easy as your finish your school year!

Who can use this product?

• Students who are planning to take the AP Spanish Language and Culture_®_ course in the coming school year

How can I use this product?

• I recommend asking your colleagues to distribute this assignment to incoming AP Spanish students at least a week before the end of the school year to give students time to read it over, think about it and ask questions.
• Be sure students understand what is expected and when their summer work is due. I always say that it's due on the first day of school, but often I will allow students to peer edit or ask last minute questions on the first or second day of school.
• By the 3rd day of a new school year, I put students into groups of about 4. I sit with a group and grade their oral presentations as they say them. The other groups are working on different assignments. I space out how many groups per day I listen to based on 1) what kind of schedule we have (we have had several in the past few years due to Covid and other factors!) and 2) spending at least some time each day with my whole class so I can establish routines and get to know them.
• I ask students to report to their small groups because it eases anxiety for students who don't know me or their classmates well, and who are worried about their ability to speak in Spanish and about their first grade for AP Spanish.
• Teachers can choose to grade the speaking and writing for a formal grade or just use their performance as a baseline for the year.

What's included in this product?

• Teacher Notes
• Student instructions for an AP Summer Assignment- written in English
• Instructions for how to complete a reading (with student choice), a listening (with student choice) and a writing assignment.
• Instructions on how to prepare an oral presentation about what they listened to
• Supports for students who need them
• Information on how to document words they looked up
• Graphic organizer for all parts for the students
• Rubric for grading the written and oral presentation parts
• Suggestions for good print and on-line dictionaries
• This assignment is fully customizable and can be edited to suite your students' needs!

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!

Who can use this product?

• Students taking a World Language
• Middle or High School 

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 crime! 
• Assign follow-up activities if you wish

What’s included in this product?

• Everything!  No prep beyond print and photocopy!
• Teacher instructions and hints
• 10 reading cards
• Student instructions (in English)
• Student answer sheet
• Answer Key for the code word questions and answer trail
• True/False Comprehension Activity
• Answer Key to True/False
• Summarize in your own words activity
• Writing Follow-up: Tell about a future adventure
• Research jobs for bilingual people

• three pages of sentence manipulatives written in the preterite tense (30 sentences broken up into morning, day, and evening)
• two pages of image manipulatives that correspond to the sentences
• two recording sheets (one for translating and ordering the sentence manipulatives and one for ordering them without translation)
• one self-grading 43-question Google Forms™ version of the reading written from the first-person perspective (fill in the blank)
• one self-grading 49-question Google Forms™ version of the reading written from the third-person perspective (fill in the blank)
