The Global Challenges unit of AP Spanish® has many interesting contexts, including the environment. This digital and printable article talks about the effects of global warming in Antarctica, and explains the paradox of how rising temperatures actually cause more snow! Distance learners can complete this via a Google Doc or by doing the auto-graded goformative version. Students who prefer paper copies can have a print-out! Save time searching the net to find a good article, and save more time by letting goformative grade this for you! Another benefit to the goformative version is that students can see the article side by side with the questions, and the questions are embedded just where they can find the answer! It's a great scaffold for students still developing their reading comprehension skills!

This article is good for students who are ready for a challenge and/or who like science. It's a little longer than the other article I posted for this unit, but the embedded questions make this accessible for students!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 4, 5 or AP®
• Students studying the environment

How can I use this product?

• Assign this article in class or for homework
• Assign this article via Google classroom or other learning management platform, or print it out
• Assign this article via Goformative (free for educators! All you need to do is create an account!)
• Use this as a class activity or as a graded assessment
• Let Goformative grade it for you!
• Use this as one source of information for class discussions, debates or cultural comparisons

What's included in this product?

• a 10-page Google doc article with link to internet source (the line-spacing in this article makes it seem very long. The questions are embedded within the article so students can find the answers easier.)
• 7 embedded questions on the Google doc (AP multiple choice style)
• an answer key
• A link to the Goformative version of this article and questions (which self-grades)
• All parts of this product can be customized to suit your students' needs!

It's the end of a unit or the day before vacation.... what would be FUN and motivating to students?  Learning slang!  This Youtube video and accompanying Google Doc and Edpuzzle  viewing guides will help students sound more natural with their speech.  This video teaches slang from PUERTO RICO, but check out my other products for slang from other countries!

Students can view the video and write down answers in open-ended form, or they can watch the video in an EdPuzzle and answer the multiple choice questions.  (Auto-graded, by the way!)  The questions in this activity are written in Spanish, but the language level is basic and should be accessible to students from Novice High and up.  The video itself presents Spanish slang terms with explanations in English.

**Disclaimer: There is one expression in the video that is not so nice... "Come mierda" which they present to mean that someone is a snob. **I cut it out of the Edpuzzle, but I cannot edit the YouTube video.****

Who can use this product?

• Any student interested in learning slang from Puerto Rico!

How can I use this product?

• Assign this activity in class or for homework
• Get students excited to learn "real" Spanish! 
• Have students complete the viewing guide where they fill in answers to have a document they can save for reference
• Have students complete the Edpuzzle if you need them to have instant feedback and/or a quick grade.  (Edpuzzles make it easier for students to answer as the question pops up right after the answer was given!  It's a good differentiation for students.)
• Combine this with other activities to create a mini unit!

What's included in this product?

• 1 link to a curated YouTube video (**please read disclaimer above about the 1 bad word in YouTube video!)
• 1 link to an Edpuzzle activity (**Bad word edited out of the Edpuzzle!)
• 1 Google doc with student viewing guide
• Teacher Answer Key

Have you head the Notes in Spanish podcasts? Do you use Edpuzzle? For AP Spanish® Unit 6, I made an MP4 recording of the audio for the podcast about Climate Change, and uploaded it to Edpuzzle! I inserted multiple choice, auto-graded questions into the recording to help students to find the right spot in the podcast to find the answer. The auto-grading of Edpuzzle is not only a time-saver for teachers, but allows students to have feedback on what answers they got right or wrong!

If you've never heard the Notes in Spanish Podcasts before, here is some info!

From their website:

Who are we?

Ben Curtis and Marina Diez live in Madrid, Spain, and have been making Spanish-learning podcasts since 2005, with over 40 Million downloads since then.

We bring you real Spanish conversations on real-life topics, making you totally confident with your Spanish.

From me: Ben and Marina have Beginner and Intermediate level podcasts on a range of topics. I love listening to them! Ben is not a native speaker of Spanish, but Marina is! This married couple converses about every day, relevant topics, and helps students learn vocabulary and even slang expressions that are part of every day Spanish language!

Who can use this product:

• Students at the Intermediate Level and higher
• AP Spanish® students studying Climate Change

How can I use this product?

• Assign this Edpuzzle to your students via Google Classroom or share the link with them
• Use this resource as a listening comprehension practice or for a grade

What's included in this product?

• A Google Doc with a link to the Edpuzzle version of the Notes in Spanish Intermediate #15 Cambio climatico podcast
• 11 auto-graded multiple choice questions

Are you using Extempore to manage your Spanish students' speaking tasks? These 5 speaking activities focus on the future tense with the theme what life events will happen in the future. Using a Google Doc, this resource contains 5 links to ready-to-use Extempore speaking activities!

All shared Extempore shared activities can be edited in a variety of ways to meet your students' needs. For example, you can edit the start and end date/time of each task, you can change the questions, you can add or delete questions, and you can choose how you would like your students to answer (video, audio or text). But having a starting place is sure to save you lots of time!

Who can use this product?

AP Spanish® students will love this fun, real-world application mini-project! Teachers, this Google Doc project with rubric can be customized, assigned in Google classroom (or other learning platform) for distance learners and printed for in-person students. This project is perfect for Unit 5 as students explore the factors that influence our quality of life! Get students motivated to use their Spanish outside of class while they gain some sage advice from trusted adults!

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!
