The Argumentative Essay on the AP Spanish Language and Culture® exam is arguably one of the most challenging parts! Students need a guided way to reflect on their argumentative essay writing and improve it. I needed a way to differentiate instruction and streamline feedback. I created a step-by-step organizer that is digital and printable, so it can be used with Distance Learning or when you have students in person.

This graphic organizer independent work is perfect to assign after students have written one essay for a grade or for feedback and are getting ready to write another one. It takes students through a series of steps asking them to reflect on their past work and the feedback it received. It asks them to review the rules and requirements of the argumentative essay, and it asks them to write certain parts of 2 practice essays. These smaller parts are sections of the essay that, when done well, set the student up for success with the rest of the essay. These small parts will be turned in for feedback from the teacher.

All parts of this product can be changed or customized to meet your students' individual needs!

Who can use this product?

• Students preparing for the AP Spanish Language and Culture® Exam
• Students in a higher level Spanish class needing to improve their writing

How Can I Use this Product?

• Assign this independent work digitally, or print everything
• Ask students to follow each step in order to work towards a better understanding of the requirements of the Argumentative Essay, and to produce a high quality piece of writing
• Students work independently, giving the teacher time to meet individually with students or to give differentiated instruction to different groups of students
• Teachers can give fast and personal feedback on student work as the students will only be writing certain parts of the argumentative essay

What's Included in this Product?

• 2 pages of teacher notes that explain exactly how and why I use this product, and ideas for customizing it to student needs
• a 2-page graphic organizing chart which walks students through steps to review and practice writing parts of the argumentative essay
• A link to a Google Doc with a graphic organizer for taking notes on the 3 sources associated with the Argumentative Essay

Help your Spanish students work through understanding the difference between Saber and Conocer with these pre-made, no-prep digital or printable activities! Start with some direct instruction with the grammar notes, including how they change meaning in the preterite tense. There are 2 basic practice activities where students analyze a sentence for meaning to choose the correct verb and practice conjugating. The last activity is an interactive Google Slides presentation where students have 2 different drag and drop practices; one asks them to form complete sentences by dragging and dropping tiles together, and the other asks students to match the correct conjugated verb (tense and form) to the English sentence to illustrate the differences in meaning between preterite and imperfect.

There are a few tricks to using these verbs correctly, like "the personal a" with the verb conocer, or the word "que" to mean that when expressing a fact. These notes and practices help students utilize the verbs and the extra grammar points correctly.

Not ready to practice with the preterite and imperfect yet? Just edit these Google docs to your liking!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 2 and above if you want to include preterite and imperfect
