Proyect to culminate a unit about school (suitable for advanced low or mid-level review unit). Students will invent a school and all its customs. Well suited for "se impersonal." Easily adjusted to different vocabulary sets.

Three simple and age appropriate activities on Spanish language and culture which focus on the family and the Spanish names for various family members.

An up-to-date relationship story suitable for context-, grammar- or CI-based teaching, with a variety of follow-up activities. Students can answer comprehension questions, analyze the verb tenses or imagine a new ending or follow-up situations. 

This task asks students to read short passages about an imaginary Hispanic family and answer comprehension questions in a multiple choice format. Questions and answers are in English. As an extension activity, students write about themselves and their family members. A reflection is included in which students indicate how well they understood the passages and whether reading Spanish passages first about family helped them write about their own family. Students are also asked to indicate what they still need or would like to know about the family in Spanish. The task is appropriate for Level 1 Spanish students.

The hyperdoc provides students self-paced learning, practice, and application of vocabulary and verbs related to clothing in Spanish, and it includes opportunities for students and teacher to evaluate learning and mastery of targeted content. A variety of online sites are provided to students to practice recognition and recall of vocabulary related to clothes and to self-assess. Three application tasks engage students in listening and reading comprehension, and open-ended writing.

¡Listos! is a series of units for Heritage Spanish learners in grades 6-12. Three lessons aligned to the K12 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) form four thematic clusters. Relevant scenarios related to personal life, college tasks, career readiness and civic participation frame each lesson and increase student engagement by making learning authentic and relevant to real issues that students face. Each lesson identifies an intermediate or advanced proficiency target that supports language acquisition in the interpersonal, interpretive and presentational modes. The project also provides teachers with a replicable approach to lesson design for adapting or creating their own materials.

Learning target: I understand when someone tells me where places are located in a city/town.

This activity is an interpretive listening task with an authentic resource (medical product commercial) in Spanish to be used in level 2 (possibly 1 or 3 depending on the unit you are teaching and your students' abilities).

Prereading for a unit about school (level II or higher). Students read the sentences and decide if the person is complaining about their school or boasting about it. Comprehensible input-based. Suitable for review and use of "se impersonal."

Use this organizer to help students review and assemble lists of the people who matter in their lives. Each oval shows how near/far the relationship is from the study (parents close, mother's boss far, for example). This prepares students for units on relationships and personal description.

Use this page to create the Guess Who? game. You would need a copy of the page for each partner to use. Then a set of the pictures from a page that have been cut up into individual cards/photos. Students would pick their person from the single cut-outs and place it face down until they need to look at it to answer a question about their person. Students would also need something like bingo chips or dry erase markers on laminated copies. They would ask yes or no description questions in Spanish and then mark off the characters according to their partner's answer. First person to guess their partner's person by eliminating all of the other people is the winner.

 This is a VDOE webinar entitled "For Students By Students"; recorded on April 14th 2021.

This Wikibook aims to teach the Spanish language from scratch. It will cover all of the major grammar rules, moving slowly and offering exercises and plenty of examples. It's not all grammar though, as it offers vocabulary and phrases too, appealing to all learners. By the end, you should be able to read and write Spanish skilfully, though you'll need a human to help with listening and speaking.
