Are your students ready for invierno?  Have some fun with these Spanish activities for Writing, Speaking and Listening! Use the winter season to your advantage as students practice their interpretive and interpersonal skills as they talk about winter where they live and learn about winter activities in other parts of the world!

What’s included?

#1

Authentic listening activities for Spanish class can be so hard to find!  We want our students to practice their listening skills but we don’t want to spend an hour searching for a good video!  This YouTube video is about winter in Chile.  A young person takes us around his city and explains what winter is like there.  To check comprehension, students will answer questions as they watch. Students will make comparisons and discover similarities and differences between their own experience and the speaker’s experience in Chile.   An answer key is also included!

#2

These Spanish Task Cards are geared towards winter activities, vacations and winter holidays. Situation Task Cards are a great way to get your Spanish 1, 2, 3 and 4 students talking and using language creatively!  (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

There are 20 different scenarios which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. The task cards come in 3 versions!  First I have a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. Slides come with helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario.

These winter-themed task cards feature scenarios for present, past and future time frames.  Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet and a vocab list for both Winter Vocab and Christmas Vocab!  

#3

These Winter Writing Prompts for Spanish classes solve a number of your challenges! Your students can work together in groups to write about Christmas and Winter Vacation, and it turns into a fun competition where everyone learns!  AND- you only correct ONE paper per group!!  Students help each other improve their writing as they try to increase creativity, detail, sophistication and accuracy, all while having fun!  These writing prompts can also be used individually.   Embed culture and traditions into your writing practice!  There are 3 prompts for Novice High level students and 3 for Intermediate Low students.  Scaffolds such as vocab lists, sophistication word charts and a graphic organizer are all included!

Spanish Teachers!  Do your Spanish students struggle to form, understand and answer questions?  This bundle of resources is a great way to do a mini unit on questions! A presentation, Task Cards and Writing Activities will ensure students practice all skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening).  

The Google Slides™ lesson with Pear Deck™ makes teaching students how to formulate and answer questions fun and engaging!   The slideshow shows students how questions can be worded in Spanish, both with and without interrogatives.  It gives them a hint for the AAPPL test for the Seal of Biliteracy regarding questions, and there are multiple places in the presentation where students can interact and respond.  This is great for keeping students engaged, but also lets the teacher know if students are understanding the presentation!

Included in this presentation about questions are 3 writing activities for your students to practice and apply what they’ve learned!  Students can do the activities alone or in groups, or one of each! The activity I use as a group task is differentiated for different skill levels!  

The Question Task Cards can be printed out or displayed digitally.  Each of the 20 cards asks students to create 5 questions related to a topic.  The topics are varied, and include themes that most Spanish students are familiar with: family, food, school, favorites, etc.  I like to use these as a warm-up for class.  And task cards can be used to ask students to write down their questions or to ask a partner! They’re so versatile and can be used over and over and in just about any level of Spanish! 

All of these materials can be easily edited to meet the theme of your unit or level of your students  if you want to change the vocabulary I use!

Instructions for teachers are included:

-How to get the Pear Deck Add-on

-How to use the Pear Deck Ad-on

-How to use the writing activities that are included

Who can use this product?

• Spanish students in Years 2 and up 

How can I use this product?

• Teach an interactive mini-lesson on how to form questions in Spanish
• Allow students to answer questions while you’re presenting
• Ask students to practice asking and answering questions with the included activities
• Differentiate with ease with the premade follow-up activities 
• Use task cards daily to reinforce and practice question asking and answering

What’s included in this product?

• Google Slides presentation with Pear Deck Add-on
• Individual writing practice
• Differentiated Group Task: writing 
• 20 different Digital and Printable Task Cards for asking questions

Want your Spanish students to learn about Day of the Dead , but  reading comprehension is getting boring in your Spanish class?  Turn it into a game!  This mystery-solving reading about Día de Muertos  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!  Use the same lesson plan for all of your classes, regardless of level, because your differentiation is already done!

   Students investigate with Maria, a young person from Mexico, while she tries to understand more about a former member of her town.  He visits the townspeople all year, not just during Día de Muertos.  Why can’t he rest in peace?   While they read the parts, they are also looking for “code words”.  Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of how/why he died.   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 graphic organizer for students to learn more about the specific items related to Day of the Dead, a “tell me in your own words” activity,  and a writing follow up where students use their reading comprehension and critical thinking to invent an explanation for who this lost soul was and why he died the way he did.  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!

The reading cards are written in English for your Novice classes, and Spanish for Intermediate classes.  The questions are written for Novice in English and answers will be in English as well. And for Intermediate, the questions and answers will be in Spanish.  The same for the instructions and mission!  Students get the benefit of learning about a cultural event while using teamwork!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 1 and up

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 mystery! 
• 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 (English), 10 reading cards (Spanish)
• Student instructions (English & Spanish)
• Student answer sheet (Questions and Answers are in English or Spanish)
• Answer Key for the code word questions and answer trail

Spanish students need lots of practice to improve their proficiency in speaking.  These 5 partner speaking activities focused on travel and vacation offer scaffolded ways to get your Spanish class talking!  The assignments start simple and increase in complexity, requiring more creativity as they become familiar with the vocabulary and grammar. The activities are focused on the past time frame (preterite and imperfect). 

Activities included:

1. Partner sentence translating:

This is a great way to start students speaking about travel and vacation.  It’s basic and doesn’t involve a lot of creativity; students will just be translating sentences to practice vocabulary and verb conjugation.   The benefit to this activity is that  students help each other understand time frame since their partner has the correct answer. 

2. Finish your partner’s sentence

This is the next step.  One student will read the beginning of a sentence.  The other student has to understand what was said and finish the sentence logically.  This provides an opportunity for limited creativity with language and listening comprehension for both students.

3. Guided conversations:

Once your students are more comfortable with vocabulary related to vacation and travel, have them try this interpersonal speaking activity.  Both students will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions as part of a conversation, but with a lot of scaffolding/guidance to build confidence.

4.  Write, speak, converse:

As students progress with vocabulary and grammar structures, they will write a story according to some guiding questions.  Next, they will use the ideas for questions to ask each other about their story.  Students will answer each other’s questions out loud. At the end, there is a self assessment about how well they did answering their partner’s questions.

5. Travel and Vacation Situation Task Cards:

My absolute FAVORITE class activity!  Situation task cards are SO versatile! They can be used in many ways, but here we have 20 different scenarios for students to talk (or write) about, all related to travel and vacation.  These cards offer the most creative freedom for students, and therefore I have them as the last step.  Of course, they can be used at various points within your unit- it would be great to point out how much students have improved from beginning, middle and end of the unit!  There are many more specific instructions when you click the link!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 2 and up

How can I use this product?

• All of these activities are designed to be completed with a partner
• These activities can be completed in person or in breakout rooms on digital platforms
• Ask students to self or peer assess
• Use these activities as practice
• Re-use certain activities as an assessment

What’s included in this product?

• Doc with all 5 activities linked in (includes the description of each activity as shown above in this product description)
• Partner sentence translation (2 versions: Persona A & Persona B) with correct answers 
• Finish the sentence (2 versions: Persona A & Persona B)
• Guided conversations (includes 2 versions so students can switch roles as asker/answerer in a conversation)
• Write, speak, converse (includes specific instructions for how to turn a writing activity into a way to converse)
• Travel and Vacation Task Cards (3 versions: printable black and white or color, digital)
• Peer and Self Assessment rubrics 
• Teacher instructions for the many ways the Task Cards can be used

Practice AP Spanish® reading comprehension with these 2 articles to learn about the dying corals of the Great Barrier Reef and the growing problem of Electronic Garbage. They can be assigned digitally for distance learners and printed for in-person students.

The articles are written from the perspective of a Mexican and a Colombian and therefore make great sources for cultural comparisons and discussions about perspectives in different places in the Spanish-speaking world.

Both articles are accompanied by comprehension questions and the Corals article also has a GoFormative version which is auto-graded- a great time saver for teachers! Another benefit to Goformative is that questions can be inserted exactly where you would like them to be to make reading comprehension a little easier for students. The questions appear side by side with the article, so students don't need to scroll back and forth to read the question and then search for the answer in the text.

How can I use this product?

• Assign these articles in class or for homework

AP Spanish® teachers: save time searching for the right video for your students! This Google Doc contains links to TWO YouTube videos and a viewing guides perfect for Unit 6: Los retos ambientales. One video has an auto-grading Edpuzzle version! The accompanying comprehension questions are digital for distance learners and printable for in-person learners, and they are customizable to make them just right for your students’ needs! 

Have students watch these videos to get a sense of some of the problems we face with our environment. One video talks about 5 specific problems in Mexico, their causes and their consequences. It is a short video, but the narrator speaks rather fast. This resource comes with a comprehension guide in graphic organizer format, or you may choose to use the multiple choice Edpuzzle version. I find that the Edpuzzle version is a good scaffold to aid student comprehension because the questions can be inserted right after the information has been provided! This Edpuzzle is also auto-graded to save you time and to give students instant feedback! The second video is about what would happen if all the ice in the world were to melt. It talks about the possibilities and the human and animal consequences that would occur. This video is accompanied by short answer comprehension questions.

Of course, both viewing guides come with a teacher answer key, and all questions can be edited to suit your needs!

Environmental challenges is a great theme to explore as a Global Challenge, or as part of the Science and Technology Unit.  These videos could be a great source for a debate as this topic can be controversial!

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 these videos and viewing guides for in-class or for homework
• Ask students to discuss the information they heard about in the videos.  Ask provocative questions and get students to play devil’s advocate to support the other side!
• Use small group or whole-class instruction to discuss the bias in these videos
• Use the information students learn from the videos as sources for students to use to debate whether or not these environmental challenges will really result in the consequences presented in the videos
• Works well with Unit 4 or Unit 6 of the AP® curriculum!

What’s included in this product?

• Two links to curated YouTube videos
• Information about how long each video is
• 2 Google Docs with comprehension questions  (one for each video, all questions in Spanish)
• An answer key for each viewing guide
• A link to the Edpuzzle version of the first video (auto-graded, multiple choice questions in Spanish)
