Make learning Spanish fun with this simple, comprehensible input Spanish lesson plan and story. This lesson plan includes a story with targeted structures that can be repeated to give your students lots of repetitions. Comprehension activities to use after the story will allow you to engage your students and makes sure that your Spanish lesson is truly comprehensible input.

El Mal Chef is bad - really bad. He puts too much salt on EVERYTHING. He's sad and customers are angry. But is there a simple solution? There are four targeted vocabulary structures that are used multiple times throughout the story. The targeted structures are:

• un mal chef - a bad chef

• pone - he puts

• demasiada sal - too much salt

• Eres - you are (formal)

This very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version. Tell the story as you watch it (pause if you want to stop and discuss or storyask!), or just watch it for comprehension. The video is just over 5 minutes long, with pause time for students to read the text. There is a second version of the video with only the illustrations - no text - so you can watch it and do story retells. With novice low and novice mid learners, you can tell the story as is. For novice high learners, you can add more details or write a parallel story. You could even use this story at higher levels by having students retell the story in the past.

Here’s what you’ll get in this Spanish Comprehensible Input Lesson:

• Links to the videos both with and without the text

• A printable pdf version of the story

• Comprehension question worksheet

• "Who said it?" worksheet

• Story retell worksheet

• Answer key

Since the dawn of the 20th century, one thing has remained true: everyone loves presents, and especially kids. There's nothing better than a big old wish list to put out into the universe during the holiday season.

From Star Wars action figures to the iPhone, every decade has had a "MUST HAVE" Christmas gift. Check out the toys and trinkets that have topped kids' wishlists to Santa over the past century, in this YouTube video by History Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aVWZuPKrSI.

The wonderful treats on this list have stolen the hearts and wallets of families around the world for the better part of a century. Find which are the most popular gifts of all time, and which ones are sold one in every second around the world.

After watching the video with your students, proceed to do the activities we have created for this purpose. The answers are provided at the end.

Have fun!

Each worksheet includes additional questions on the front side, a writing activity or table to complete, on the backside some include a PRIMARY SOURCE or an ART ACTIVITY or an INTERACTIVE WRITING PROMPT. ANSWER KEY INCLUDED.

EAGLE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/imBaXkZO2NA

2 French Children's Story Videos (Petit Poulet and L'Oiseau et la baleine) from The French Experiment are linked.

For your beginner Core French class, I recommend having students watch one of the videos in French first with no subtitles. Have them try to answer as many questions as possible from the accompanying worksheet. You might want to play the video at .75x speed if you teach elementary students.

Next, play the video once more, this time with subtitles. Students will be able to fill in the blanks they missed the first time around.

The last question for each of the stories allow students to think critically about the lesson each story teaches.

The worksheets are in English. The videos are in French.

I found this allows students to think about what they are watching more carefully, learning more French words along the way.

An answer key is not included, but the questions are very simple and you will be able to answer them easily after watching the video. I wrote the answers while watching the videos along with the students.

The French Experiment offers these two French videos for free. The rest are on a paid version. You can check it out below.

After trade and communication between Europe and the Americas began following Columbus's voyage in 1492, many Europeans began to seek opportunities in the New World. One such group, now known as the Pilgrims, sailed from England to North America in 1620.

In 1620 the Mayflower crossed from England to North America. Filled to the brim with passengers, livestock, and supplies, they faced many delays before finally reaching the shores of the New World. The Pilgrims suffered and many of them died to establish a settlement in what is now Massachusetts, but through cooperation with local tribes of Native Americans they were eventually able to thrive.

Watch the excellent video “The Story of the Mayflower and the First Thanksgiving for Children” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brqIER2KHbE) with your students, and then do the activities in this ebook. The answers are available at the end of the book, as well as plenty of guidance for the teacher in the Teacher's notes.

Make learning Spanish fun with this simple, comprehensible input Spanish lesson plan and story. This lesson plan includes a story with targeted structures that can be repeated to give your students lots of repetitions. Comprehension activities to use after the story will allow you to engage your students and makes sure that your Spanish lesson is truly comprehensible input.

There is a monster under the bed! That is scary for any kid, but how does the monster feel about having a little girl on top of the bed? There are four targeted vocabulary structures that are used multiple times throughout the story. The targeted structures are:

• tiene miedo - is scared

• debajo de la cama - under the bed

• grita - yells, shouts

• las galletas - cookies

This very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version. Tell the story as you watch it (pause if you want to stop and discuss or storyask!), or just watch it for comprehension. The video is just over 5 minutes long, with pause time for students to read the text. There is a second version of the video with only the illustrations - no text - so you can watch it and do story retells. With novice low and novice mid learners, you can tell the story as is. For novice high learners, you can add more details or write a parallel story. You could even use this story at higher levels by having students retell the story in the past.

Here’s what you’ll get in this Spanish Comprehensible Input Lesson:

• Links to the videos both with and without the text

• A printable pdf version of the story

• Comprehension question worksheet

• "Who said it?" worksheet

• Story retell worksheet

• Answer key
