Bundle and save with the All Things English Revising & Editing Workbook

I was tired of writing things on the board over and over again. I was tired of printing out pages that students threw away. I was also tired of answering questions that students could find for themselves. So I made a book to make sure I wouldn't have to anymore.

Over the course of 2 months, I thought of everything that I would have to teach, explain, write examples of, and print, and I put all my tips and tricks into ONE BOOK. I printed this out and spiral bound all the pages for each of my students. Every time my students ask me to repeat something, I point them to the book.

I also use this in my class for reference during specific lessons as well. It's a game changer! I save time and I save my sanity.

It's the MOST helpful for all the little pieces students need to know for all the stages of writing: brainstorming, pre-writing, paragraphs, citations, plagiarism, and much, much more.

WANT TO REVISE THIS TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN? I've added the Word document for teachers to modify to fit their teaching style!

Do your students struggle to grasp the difference between various verb endings? This verb-sorting activity will give them hands-on practice with this often tricky topic! In each of the three activities included in this bundle, your students will sort the given list of 36 conjugated Spanish verbs into six categories: yo, tú, él/ella/usted, nosotros, vosotros, and ellos/ellas/ustedes. You could easily adapt this activity for other tenses, simply by providing your own list. In addition to the hands-on practice, each resource also includes two worksheet versions with the same verbs.

All three resources in this bundle contain:

• one verb sorting sheet
• one page of thirty six conjugated verbs in Spanish with dotted lines for cutting
• one worksheet where students choose the correct subject pronoun and translate the verb to English
• one worksheet where students choose the correct subject pronoun and write an original sentence in Spanish using the indicated verb
• answer keys for the sentence sorting sheet and both worksheets
• tips for using the resource and a table of contents

The resources included in this bundle practice regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs in the present tense, and there are a total of 108 verbs practiced in this bundle.

This activity works well individually and in small groups and would be a great introductory activity (by using inductive reasoning), application, or review activity. Although designed for use in level one, it also makes a great review for Spanish two.
