Spanish Class Back To School Parent Engagement Docs

By Specialty Spanish

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

Spanish Video Project Tourism Ad for a Spanish-Speaking Country

By Specialty Spanish

This FUN and motivating project will get your Spanish students doing some presentational speaking for a real-world purpose! Students research the tourist attractions of a Spanish-speaking country and create an ad. The purpose of the ad is to attract more tourists, but the purpose of the project is for students to learn about the wonderful places in the Spanish-speaking world and to encourage them to put these places on their "must see" list! All parts of this activity are customizable to make them just right for your students.

In this mini-project, students will choose a Spanish-speaking country. They will research the "Can't Miss" tourist destinations of the country in-depth. Next they will find images of the places and important information about the places and use them to create an advertisement. Student have many options for how they would like to put their TV ad together, including Google Slides, Screencastify and others. The goal is to make an ad that the target audience can't resist! This country is the NEXT place they plan to go on vacation!

One thing I've struggled with in the past is students not using class work time well. To solve this, I created a timeline that explains what should be accomplished during each work period. It has been very successful in terms of students being on task during class work time, and has reduced the amount of "last minute" project completion that often results in low quality work. The timeline is now included with this project!

Depending on your class size and other factors, students can share their work in 3 ways:

-instead of recording their audio into their commercial, they can present live!

-they can record their audio, and the teacher can play each one for the class

-*This is what I usually do! I ask students to set up their computers on their desks, open to their presentation. Students switch seats and watch a number of ads that their classmates created. It ads more student choice and more engagement!

This resource is INCLUDED in the complete lesson plans for AP Spanish® Unit 5 linked below!!

Who can use this product?

  • Students at the Intermediate level of the ACTFL proficiency chart or higher
  • AP Spanish® Students

How can I use this product?

  • Assign this project in parts for in-class or for homework
  • Use this project as a presentational speaking grade
  • Give students the opportunity to use their Spanish to create a quality real-world product!
  • Allow students to show their ads in class. Watch as the audience is awed and captivated by the interesting, beautiful and wonderful places that they can travel to comfortably as Spanish-speakers!
  • Involve the class in the presentations by having them vote on different categories, like: Most convincing ad, Country with the Most Natural Beauty, Most Fun Country, Most Adventurous Vacation, Most Different from the US, etc.
  • Use the information students learn for a cultural comparison
  • Works well with Unit 5 AP® curriculum about factors that influence our quality of life!

What’s included in this product?

  • 2-page Google Doc with student instructions and a step-by-step outline of the process in Spanish
  • A sign-up sheet for students to choose their country
  • A rubric in Spanish
  • A timeline of what to accomplish during each work session to keep students productive and accountable
  • Comment sheets for classmates to use when watching others' presentations
  • All parts of this project can be edited and customized to fit each class's needs

Spanish Reading Comprehension Game: Magic 6's CI Sabor Express

By Specialty Spanish

What to turn your Spanish reading comprehension or grammar review into a game?  Using CI to give your students contextualized, comprehensible input?  This Magic 6’s game will motivate, engage and deliver all the CI your students need!  Students will fill in a cloze-style reading with verbs that need to be in the present tense.  But they are racing their opponent!  This adds interest and a bit of drama to the activity, keeping students fully engaged!

The reading is about a new restaurant in town called Sabor Express.  Students will take turns rolling a die to get a 6, or filling in the answers.  Once a student has rolled a 6, they must give the pencil to their opponent.  While they have the pencil they must read in context to figure out what verb form is needed.  When they get to the end, there are several comprehension questions about the reading itself. 

This reading is meant for Intermediate Low students.  It focuses on restaurant, health and illness vocabulary and present tense.  This resource also comes with a present tense “cheat sheet” for students who need support or differentiation. Any part of this resource can be customized for your students if needed!  The teacher answer key and detailed instructions are also included.  It’s everything you need for a high energy class with lots of CI, but low energy for you!

  • Students in Year 3 and up
  • Students at the Intermediate Low proficiency level

How can I use this product?

  • Break students into pairs or small groups
  • Provide a die, a pencil and copy of the reading
