Spanish The Environment Activity Bundle for Speaking, Listening and Writing
by Specialty SpanishNot sure how to start making proficiency a focus in your Spanish classes? Start here with this bundle of Spanish Environment Proficiency-Building Activities! Speaking, Writing and Listening are scaffolded and pre-differentiated with activities that stay with a familiar theme, El medio ambiente. 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!

Spanish Environment Medio Ambiente Scenario Task Cards for Speaking and Writing
By Specialty Spanish
These Spanish Scenario Task Cards are geared towards Environment situations. Scenario Task Cards are a great, NO PREP way to get your Spanish 2, 3 and 4 students speaking or writing and using language creatively! They have open-ended prompts for students to use while speaking or writing. (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)
There are 20 different scenarios which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. The task cards come in 3 versions! First I have a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class. The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. Slides come with helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario.
These Environment scenario task cards feature situations perfect for practicing talking about different concerns students or adults may have about pollution, climate change and other topics related to the environment. 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!
Bonus! Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet!
Who can use this product?
- Appropriate for students in Spanish 3, 4 and 5

How can I use this product?
- Teacher notes for the multiple ways to use these are included in the slides!

- Display task cards on your Smartboard for the class. Have one partner make up a story. Set a timer and challenge them to try to talk the entire time! Change the slide and have the other partner take a turn!
- Use these task cards as multiple versions of a speaking assessment. This allows for student choice and/or prevents students sharing the exact task for advance preparation.
- These task cards can also be used for writing prompts or assessments!
- Ask students to peer or self-assess using the included forms
