Need a summer homework assignment for your incoming AP Spanish*®* students? Look no further- this Google Doc assignment is already done for you! Digital or printable, this summer homework has everything you need. Students will read, listen, write and then speak when school starts again! Students will have guided choices about what they choose to read and listen to!

There are very clear, specific instructions for each part, and they are written in English to avoid any misunderstandings over the summer. Also included in this resource is the rubric to grade the writing and speaking portions, a graphic organizer for students to use to help them be sure they have completed each part, and a note-taking sheet for the listening section.

This assignment will keep students using their Spanish over the summer without expecting too much time on homework in the summer months. It will also give teachers a way to assess where each student is in their speaking and writing skills at the beginning of the school year! Best of all- this assignment, once it's yours, can be edited and customized to suite your preferences and your students' needs! Breathe easy as your finish your school year!

Who can use this product?

• Students who are planning to take the AP Spanish Language and Culture_®_ course in the coming school year

How can I use this product?

• I recommend asking your colleagues to distribute this assignment to incoming AP Spanish students at least a week before the end of the school year to give students time to read it over, think about it and ask questions.
• Be sure students understand what is expected and when their summer work is due. I always say that it's due on the first day of school, but often I will allow students to peer edit or ask last minute questions on the first or second day of school.
• By the 3rd day of a new school year, I put students into groups of about 4. I sit with a group and grade their oral presentations as they say them. The other groups are working on different assignments. I space out how many groups per day I listen to based on 1) what kind of schedule we have (we have had several in the past few years due to Covid and other factors!) and 2) spending at least some time each day with my whole class so I can establish routines and get to know them.
• I ask students to report to their small groups because it eases anxiety for students who don't know me or their classmates well, and who are worried about their ability to speak in Spanish and about their first grade for AP Spanish.
• Teachers can choose to grade the speaking and writing for a formal grade or just use their performance as a baseline for the year.
