Let's embark on this enriching virtual field trip through Spain together!

This pack includes 7 puzzles to practice certain concepts learned in Spanish 1 and 2. Use these as fun way to review!

First puzzle- Trajineras Image

Reflexive Pronouns

Second Puzzle- Astronaut – Interrogatives

Third Puzzle-Calaverita- Days of the week and months

Fourth Puzzle- la granja – School Items

Fifth Puzzle- Tractor-Possessive Adjectives

Sixth Puzzle- Capitals of Latin-American countries

Seventh Puzzle- Birdy- Months

So the AP Spanish® Exam is over... now what?? The end of the year means that you can do FUN and CREATIVE things with students that keep them interested and motivated! This digital or printable art project is a great way to end the year and let students show off other talents! We also get the opportunity to do some cross-disciplinary work and collaborate with colleagues if you choose!

First students choose a global challenge to research- one that interests them!

Next, students imitate a style of art to create an original work of art that uses symbolism to demonstrate the theme of their artwork.

Finally, students write a detailed description of their thought process while planning their work as well as what elements of symbolism they used and why.

When the projects are turned in, the teacher can set them up (around the classroom or in another spot in your school). Their descriptions accompany their artwork. Included in this project are a gallery walk note-taking table as well as comment cards. Students enjoy getting feedback from their peers! And the gallery walk chart helps them engage with the work of their peers and to think more deeply.

Another great option is to collaborate with an art teacher or another Spanish class. You can also simply invite other classes to view your gallery, and administrators too! Let them fill out comment cards for your students!

How long will this take? It really depends! You may choose to let students do a lot of the research and planning in class, but you can also assign this for homework.

I find that the making of the art has to be done at home so that they have access to the supplies they need.

The writing of the description can be done in class or at home as well.

The gallery walk takes at least one class period. If you have multiple classes participating, you could allow more time if you choose.

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 4 or AP® (though it can be modified for students who are not as advanced in their language yet!)

What's included in this project?

• 1 page of teacher notes to help make this project run smoothly, for other ideas and modifications

• Student rubric (in Spanish)

• All of these elements are fully customizable to ensure that each part is just right for your students!

The Spanish Culture Points Project is a student-centered cultural project that puts students in the driver's seat! This was one of my students' favorite projects to complete because it let them explore their own interests. It was also one of my favorite to grade because each one was different!

Students pick from tasks relevant to them like music, cooking, history, etc. Each tasks has points assigned to it so they must complete enough of these small tasks to total up to the grade they would like to receive (generally 4-5 tasks).

This project worked great for middle school and lower levels of language but could be adapted to upper language levels as well.

Duration varies. I assigned this as a take-home project. Several tasks can be completed in school, but not all. We took a 90 minute block period to present to the class. Some classes where students brought in speakers lasted longer.

Includes rubric to total points gained for project.

This project is perfect for Unit 5 as students explore the factors that influence our quality of life!

In this project, students will interview 2 adults that they know. The topic of the interview will be how jobs relate to our quality of life. Students will first work in small groups to brainstorm questions, though in the end, they get to choose what they ask. They will set up interview times, and after the interviews are complete, they will draw their own conclusions about work/life balance, how our daily lives can be affected by the jobs we have, what significance one's job plays in a person's identity and sense of purpose, etc. The student instructions provide clear step-by-step procedures and a detailed rubric about how their final project will be graded.

Best of all, students will have the opportunity to interact with adults in their community and practice important life skills like formally thanking people for their time! When the interviews and article write-ups are complete, a vibrant class discussion can take place as you talk about everyone's findings, take-aways and important learning! This is a great topic for students who are thinking about their future careers and jobs!

Take your students to Spain with this fun one-of-a-kind Field Trip

Includes a Guide where students will write-in Answers as they navigate through my Virtual Field TRIP!

Part of my Game-Based Learning Project!

• FUN
• SUB-FRIENDLY
• CULTURAL ACTIVITY
• PRACTICE SPANISH
• WRITE IN SPANISH
• READ IN SPANISH

Please click on the link icon to access the Virtual Field TRIP (the link is embedded to the PDF).

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

• Use the information students learn for a cultural comparison

Some classes work better in groups than others. With this bundle, you can customize which classes receive different versions of the same project. This also works great when you have assigned the group project but inevitably have students who are absent for an extended period. Don't stress about sending work with them. Just print out the individual project and send them on their merry way!

Have your students ever heard of Fiesta de la Candelaria, Constitution Day, Día de Las Velitas, Carnaval, or dozens of other holidays celebrated throughout the Spanish-speaking world from December through February? The Spanish-speaking Winter Holiday Project goes beyond the big name holidays your students are already familiar with. Not only does it review geography, but also incorporates history, culture, music, and more. And even better - Once you assign this project, your students will take on the work of teaching EACH OTHER!

Need other seasonal ideas or looking for something to do for the early finishers?
