Middle School Spanish Google Apps (by price, high to low)

Back To School is here! The AP Spanish Language and Culture® Complete Lesson Plans for the Whole Year includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this course without being tied to a particular textbook!  Lesson plans are written by unit, and include specific, step-by-step instructions, # of minutes per activity, and every activity is linked into the lesson plans.  That means:

-no searching a folder for a particular activity!

-no searching the internet for authentic materials!

-no scrambling to make scaffolds and supports to make your materials accessible!

-no guesswork as to how or what to teach next!

Perfect for:

*Teachers teaching this course for the first time

*Teachers who need a refresh after teaching the course for a while

*Teachers feeling overloaded with all the responsibilities of the job

You can expect the following in each unit of study:

-a table that lists the types of activities and how many of each there are (view these in the previews)

-a table of learning objectives for each class for the entire unit (view these in the previews)

*Click HERE to download the learning objectives and activity count*

-Google Docs lesson plans with daily learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, teacher tips and explanations, and activities linked in

-embedded direct instruction and practice for the different parts of the AP Spanish® Exam

-Lessons organized by 3 45 minute periods and 1 90 minute period (our school uses a modified block schedule). The lesson activities are easy to move around to meet your school's schedule!

When we unexpectedly went to distance learning, I had to scramble as an AP Spanish® teacher. My students did not have access to their textbooks or the audio that went with it.  We used the Temas text, but I found that I had to adapt.  So, my lesson plans are now based almost entirely on authentic materials that I have found and curated.  I have created vocab lists around these materials and the activities that will go with them!  There are times during the lesson plans where I offer a suggestion from something that is found in the Temas textbook, but these lessons can be used fully without those suggestions.

Along with the honor of teaching our most advanced Spanish students comes the burden of heavy correcting and tons of planning.  We also have other preps.  Having an entire year’s worth of curriculum, lesson plans, projects and assessments ready to go will save you an incredible amount of time and relieve some of the pressure that we face as teachers. 

In my classes, we also review grammar and use the Avance text as a guide.  I include a study guide and a grammar quiz in each unit, but the practice activities (if you want to review grammar in class) are not included.

Required Materials:

-Access to the Internet and Google Docs/Slides/Forms

-Access to AP Classroom® via College Board  (free to all AP ®Teachers)

Referenced ancillary materials (though not necessary)

-Temas textbook

-Avance Grammar textbook

-A test prep workbook (several are suggested in the plans, though not needed)

Here is some feedback about my unit plans!

Extremely satisfied

Thank you so much for creating these! They are so helpful to have in class. My students were very engaged.

Extremely satisfied

Amazing resource! I have already purchased Unit 2 and 3!

Extremely satisfied

Extremely well planned unit. Everything you need is included here. I teach 3 different levels of Spanish and it is hard for me to revamp lesson plans. We use the textbook TEMAS at my school site but the readings can be very dry. I like how this unit incorporates soooo many resources that are authentic. 

I am definitely going to purchase more units. I wish there was a discounted bundle with all units because I would buy it!

Why should you trust me??

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  As I am still a classroom teacher, my activities and ideas evolve each year.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. I am successfully teaching this course in conjunction with the University of CT as another way for students to earn college credit. My former students report taking Spanish classes at the college/university level and having a high level of success!

The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. 

Some cards provide helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario. Some sets come with a vocab list that can be printed (maybe laminated) so that students can integrate related vocabulary that they may not know already.

These situation task cards feature scenarios perfect for practicing talking about many of the life events that are common to teens, and common to most Spanish curriculum and Seal of Biliteracy tests.   The prompts ask students to talk about themselves and others in present, past and future time frames.  The prompts are in English. Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Vacaciones en España focuses on a trip to the beach town of Benidorm, on the West Coast of Spain.  This Google Slides presentation contains vibrant photos of real people, which makes it engaging for students.  Each slide comes with text to explain what they’re seeing.

Avila is a similar format to Vacaciones en España. The Google Slides™ presentation contains original photographs from Ávila, Spain, a beautiful and medieval city to the north of Madrid. Each slide contains text taking students through Ávila’s past (its incredible walls, towers and cathedral) and present-day life with some views of the city!  The text is mainly written in both present and past (preterite and imperfect) and therefore is great for Years 2, 3 and 4. Read more HERE. 

The Escape Room is a student favorite! It comes in a Spanish and English version, and students must follow the clues to help solve a crime.  The clues take them all around Spain where they will learn about various aspects of the culture.  Each clue they solve reveals the next clue!

Spanish writing prompts, especially when you make them into a group challenge, are a great way to get your Spanish 2, 3 or students writing, improving and learning from others!  

Your Spanish students will look forward to working together to create writing that meets and exceeds the standards you’re looking for!  Writing together allows peers to learn from each other and takes away some of the pressure when writing alone. The themes are relevant and interesting to students and promote creativity with language. 

All of these resources help give the teacher the resource of time!  The group challenges provide you the chance to offer specific feedback, but on just one paper per group instead of one for every student!  And peer editing is another way for students to receive feedback without the need for the teacher to correct everything. 

Growing Bundles are a great deal!  First, you get a discount over buying each resource separately.  But BEST OF ALL, each time I add a new resource, you can download it for free!  (The price for the resource will change as I add each new resource, but anyone who has already bought the resource pays the lower price, but gets to download new additions for free!)

 This bundle includes:

-A Vacation-themed (preterite and imperfect) group challenge writing prompt

-A New Year’s themed group challenge writing prompt (all tenses can be used)

-A future themed group writing challenge

-A fall themed group writing challenge (present or past)

-A winter themed group writing challenge (present or past)

-A peer editing template

-A vocab list that breaks down words that add sophistication into transition words, key words for time frame and sequencing words

-some themes are differentiated by levels

Who can use this product?

• Spanish 2, 3 and 4 primarily, but all activities can be adapted up or down
• Some of the writing prompts are already differentiated by proficiency level!

How can I use this product?

• Students write together to create a high quality piece of writing
• Students peer edit others’ work with a specific set of guidelines to ensure quality feedback
• Students refer to a reference of sophistication words each time they write to improve their vocabulary with words that add sophistication
• Teachers may also assign these prompts as individual work or assessments
• Download new prompts as they are created!

What’s included in this product?

• A Vacation-themed group challenge writing prompt
• A New Year’s themed group challenge writing prompt
• A future themed group writing challenge
• A Fall themed group writing challenge (differentiated, fall vocab lists included)
• A Winter themed group writing challenge (differentiated, winter vocab lists included)

Doing a Spanish unit on accidents and injuries?  Here are 3 NO PREP activities to help your students build their proficiency!  Interpersonal Speaking is targeted with Partner Guided Conversations, Integrated Listening and Speaking activities, and Open-Ended Task Cards.  These resources will give them both support and freedom to use their Spanish in creative ways!

Do your Spanish students need some help with interpersonal speaking?  Are they struggling to have conversations in Spanish?  Let’s give them some guided support with these 4 partner conversations about accidents and injuries!  Both students will have the opportunity to ask and answer questions as part of a conversation, but with a lot of scaffolding to build confidence.

The Integrated Listening and Speaking Activities don’t require a partner.  They mimic the Seal of Biliteracy tests, like AAPPL, by having students listen to a prompt and recording their response.  There are 2 activities with 5 prompts each.

The Open-ended Task Cards provide 20 different scenarios about accidents and injuries.  Students can tell stories to and with partners, record their stories, or write them! The scenarios come in 3 versions: for display on a SmartBoard/projector, printable in color and printable in black and white.  You can use these as a daily warm up, for a whole class or even for an assessment!

• Students can tell a partner a story from a task card scenario, record their story or write their story
• Any of these activities are ready to use: NO PREP
• All of these activities can be edited if you wish
• These activities can be used for practice or for assessment!

What’s included in this product?

• 4 different guided conversation scenarios about accidents and injuries

• The conversations provide general ideas about what to ask and answer to make it easier for students to keep their conversation going.
• 2 different ILS (Integrated Listening and Speaking) activities, each with 5 prompts

¡Tantas actividades para elegir!

Not sure how to start making proficiency a focus in your Spanish classes? Start here with this bundle of Spanish Accidents and Injuries Proficiency-Building Activities! Speaking, Writing and Listening are scaffolded and pre-differentiated with activities that stay with a familiar theme, Accidents and Injuries  The scaffolds and familiar theme help students find the courage they need to fully participate and truly build skills! Interpersonal Listening, Speaking and Presentational Writing Activities are all included!

Guided Conversations: 

Guided Convos provide a scenario about a familiar topic and an outline for students to use to keep the conversation going.   Students work with a partner and choose the role of Person A or Person B. They can trade roles, trade partners, or even do the same exact conversation again!  They never turn out the same way!  Students report feeling much more confident and able to keep conversations going after practicing a few times! 

These conversations have 2 different versions for Novice High students and 2 different versions for Intermediate Low students. 

Integrated Listening & Speaking: 

ILS activities are done alone.  Students will listen to a recording, and be given instructions for how to respond.  They might hear: “Tell me about….” Or “Ask me questions about…” .  These activities mimic the speaking/listening portion of many popular Seal of Biliteracy Tests.  

There is a pre-made student activity that requires no language lab!  If you have a language lab or some other kind of recording software, the teacher script will allow you to record the audio for students if you desire.

There are 2 activities in this resource, each with 5 prompts.  They are designed so that the first activity is a bit easier and the 2nd one  a bit more challenging.  Use with different levels or at the beginning and end of a unit! 

✍️Scenario Task Cards:

Scenario Task Cards are my go-to for lots of things!  I display one at the beginning of every class and ask students to take turns talking about the scenario.   But I also use them as a lesson plan for a class activity!  I have students change partners and have them tell a story about 5 times in a row, each time with a new scenario and a new partner.  Then students switch roles.  Listeners become the speakers.  Finally, sometimes I print the scenarios and ask students to write about them in class or for homework!
