Are you practicing presentational writing skills with your Spanish students?  How about a Group Challenge that focuses on either Día de los Muertos or Halloween?!  This fun and engaging writing challenge will get your students to work together in small groups to produce high quality writing!  This resource includes appropriate writing prompts for years 1, 2 and 3.  Planning done for your whole day!

What I love about writing in this format is that teachers can provide specific feedback and even a grade in about ⅕ of the time!  We can improve students’ skills and confidence by using peer discussion to clear up confusion about things like conjugating verbs and word order in sentences too!  This is a high impact activity to use with your students! 

This resource features 4 writing prompts at 2 levels: Novice High and Intermediate Low.  For both there is a writing prompt based on Day of the Dead and Halloween.  There are lots of extras included too!
