11th Grade Spanish Google Apps

Back To School is here! The AP Spanish Language and Culture® Complete Lesson Plans for the Whole Year includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this course without being tied to a particular textbook!  Lesson plans are written by unit, and include specific, step-by-step instructions, # of minutes per activity, and every activity is linked into the lesson plans.  That means:

-no searching a folder for a particular activity!

-no searching the internet for authentic materials!

-no scrambling to make scaffolds and supports to make your materials accessible!

-no guesswork as to how or what to teach next!

Perfect for:

*Teachers teaching this course for the first time

*Teachers who need a refresh after teaching the course for a while

*Teachers feeling overloaded with all the responsibilities of the job

You can expect the following in each unit of study:

-a table that lists the types of activities and how many of each there are (view these in the previews)

-a table of learning objectives for each class for the entire unit (view these in the previews)

*Click HERE to download the learning objectives and activity count*

-Google Docs lesson plans with daily learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, teacher tips and explanations, and activities linked in

-embedded direct instruction and practice for the different parts of the AP Spanish® Exam

-Lessons organized by 3 45 minute periods and 1 90 minute period (our school uses a modified block schedule). The lesson activities are easy to move around to meet your school's schedule!

When we unexpectedly went to distance learning, I had to scramble as an AP Spanish® teacher. My students did not have access to their textbooks or the audio that went with it.  We used the Temas text, but I found that I had to adapt.  So, my lesson plans are now based almost entirely on authentic materials that I have found and curated.  I have created vocab lists around these materials and the activities that will go with them!  There are times during the lesson plans where I offer a suggestion from something that is found in the Temas textbook, but these lessons can be used fully without those suggestions.

Along with the honor of teaching our most advanced Spanish students comes the burden of heavy correcting and tons of planning.  We also have other preps.  Having an entire year’s worth of curriculum, lesson plans, projects and assessments ready to go will save you an incredible amount of time and relieve some of the pressure that we face as teachers. 

In my classes, we also review grammar and use the Avance text as a guide.  I include a study guide and a grammar quiz in each unit, but the practice activities (if you want to review grammar in class) are not included.

Required Materials:

-Access to the Internet and Google Docs/Slides/Forms

-Access to AP Classroom® via College Board  (free to all AP ®Teachers)

Referenced ancillary materials (though not necessary)

-Temas textbook

-Avance Grammar textbook

-A test prep workbook (several are suggested in the plans, though not needed)

Here is some feedback about my unit plans!

Extremely satisfied

Thank you so much for creating these! They are so helpful to have in class. My students were very engaged.

Extremely satisfied

Amazing resource! I have already purchased Unit 2 and 3!

Extremely satisfied

Extremely well planned unit. Everything you need is included here. I teach 3 different levels of Spanish and it is hard for me to revamp lesson plans. We use the textbook TEMAS at my school site but the readings can be very dry. I like how this unit incorporates soooo many resources that are authentic. 

I am definitely going to purchase more units. I wish there was a discounted bundle with all units because I would buy it!

Why should you trust me??

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  As I am still a classroom teacher, my activities and ideas evolve each year.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. I am successfully teaching this course in conjunction with the University of CT as another way for students to earn college credit. My former students report taking Spanish classes at the college/university level and having a high level of success!

Are your students hesitant to speak in Spanish in class? Are conversations and interpersonal speaking challenging for them? Are you worried about how to prepare them for tests like the Seal of Biliteracy and AP Spanish Exams? Do you teach multiple levels of Spanish? Then this bundle is for you!

This bundle contains 16 activities and 8 of the most common themes taught in every curriculum!

• Childhood
• Daily Routines
• Clothing and Shopping
• Food and Restaurants
• Travel and Vacations
• Accidents and Injuries
• The Future
• The Environment

There are 8 Guided Conversation activities. Guided Conversations provide a general outline for students to use. It helps them keep the conversation going with a partner so they can continue to create with language! They are differentiated between Novice High and Intermediate versions. The Novice versions have helpful vocabulary on their guides. And they can be used and re-used over and over! Switch partners, switch roles, use them at different points in the unit... and use them as review for more advanced students! Teacher notes make these a breeze to use!

There are 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking activities. The themes are the same 8 themes as the Guided Conversations. These ILS activities contain audio links. Students listen and then record their response. These activities are very much like the AAPPL and STAMP tests and are a great pre-cursor for the Simulated Conversation on the AP Spanish test. The audio links are already recorded for you, but the teacher script is also included in case you want to record your own voice, or show students what they heard when going over their responses. Each theme has 2 activities. There are 5 audio prompts in each (so a total of 10 per theme.) The 2nd activity is meant to be a bit more challenging. You can use that to differentiate for students, or use the 2nd activity later in the unit!

Who Can Use This Resource:

• Students in Year 2 and up (Novice High and Intermediate)

How Do I Use This Resource?

• The included teacher notes will provide all of these suggestions
• Students will work in partners with guided conversations
• Students can switch roles and also switch partners with the guided conversations to make them reusable countless times!
• Students work alone with the ILS activities
• They listen and respond, and record their responses
• These activities can be used for practice or for assessment
• They are all ready to print or post- no teacher prep!

What's Included?

• Teacher Notes for Both Kinds of Activities to explain exactly how to use them
• 8 Guided Conversation Themes (Each theme has 4 conversations included, so there are a total of 32 conversations)
• 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking Activities (ILS) (Each theme has 2 activities with 10 prompts: so 16 activities and 160 prompts)

These Spanish Scenario Task Cards are designed to increase skill and confidence with creative speaking and writing!  Scenario Task Cards are a great, NO PREP way to get your Spanish 2, 3 and 4 and even AP Spanish students speaking or writing every day! They have open-ended prompts for students to use to tell a story orally or on paper.   (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

First, this bundle includes 17 different themes!  Consider your daily warm-up for the year DONE with no prep!

There are 20 different scenarios per theme which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. Each set of scenario cards come in 3 versions!  First,  a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  (Perfect for a warm-up!) The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. 

Some cards provide helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario. Some sets come with a vocab list that can be printed (maybe laminated) so that students can integrate related vocabulary that they may not know already.

These situation task cards feature scenarios perfect for practicing talking about many of the life events that are common to teens, and common to most Spanish curriculum and Seal of Biliteracy tests.   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!

Themes:

-Childhood -Clothing and Shopping

-Travel -Accidents and Injuries

-Present -Hobbies and Free Time

-Past -Jobs and Employment

• Pair students and have them take turns telling stories based on their scenario
• Ask students to give peer feedback or self-assess
• 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.

New to teaching AP® Spanish Language and Culture?  Consider your Unit 2 Lesson Plans (La influencia de la lengua y la cultura en la identidad) done!  These digital AND printable lesson plans have nearly every activity you will need linked in.  Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Activities that combine 2 skills, homework, assessments and even projects are all included! Students will learn how to complete the AP Exam Argumentative Essay and Simulated Conversation in this unit as well as practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while can be overwhelming.  These complete unit lesson plans will take you through the entire 2nd unit for The Influence of Language and Culture on Identity starting with a “Hook Activity” to spark interest and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide you will need to get started. Every activity (over 60!) you need (with the exception of 4) is linked in.  Your prep will be limited to reviewing the lesson plans and sources ahead of your students, but the searching for appropriate authentic materials and creating accompanying activities is already done for you! Download the learning objectives and activity count here!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas, AP Spanish Preparing for the Language and Culture Examination and Avance.  In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 4 out of 60+ activities.  However, especially after teaching on-line for a year, I have moved away from relying on textbooks and I create most of the activities myself. This makes these lesson plans very versatile and usable for anyone!  For teachers who need or like to teach digitally, all of the activities in this bundle can be assigned via Google Classroom or other learning management system. And almost every activity is also printable for teachers and students who prefer paper copies.  Best of all, once you have these activities in your Google Drive, you can edit and adapt anything to suit your needs!

I have been teaching AP® Spanish Language and Culture since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP® exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. I also teach this course as an Early College Experience in collaboration with the University of CT, as another way for students to earn college credit.

I start the year with a set of lesson plans designed to last one week.  It is linked below.  We do all the paper-passing, signing up for different apps and classrooms, and become comfortable with the course and our classmates.  We also present our summer homework, also linked below.  Next I teach Unit 1: Families in Different Societies. This unit starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already.   That resource is also linked below.  AP teachers are allowed to teach the units in any order they would like, but I recommend that if you plan to use this series of lesson plans, that you go in order. I choose to introduce the AP test open-ended tasks over time so that students are not overwhelmed.  By unit 3, they will have learned the purpose, rules and resources for all of the tasks and can spend the last 3 units practicing them some more. 

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

Overwhelmed with teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture®?  Need to refresh a unit that's gone stale?  Your Unit 3 Lesson Plans (Las influencias de la belleza y la estética) are done!  These digital AND printable lesson plans have nearly every activity you will need linked in.  Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Activities that combine 2 skills, Homework, Assessments, AP Exam® Style activities and even Projects are all included! Students will learn how to complete the AP® Exam Cultural Comparison and Email Reply in this unit as well as practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  This is the third unit in the AP Classroom® curriculum.  Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!  Everything you need is provided!

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while can be daunting.  These complete unit lesson plans will take you through the entire 3rd unit for The Influence of Beauty and Aesthetics starting with a “Hook Activity” to spark interest and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide you will need to get started. Every activity (over 60!) you need (with the exception of 3) is linked in.  Your prep will be limited to reviewing the lesson plans and sources ahead of your students, but the searching for appropriate authentic materials and creating accompanying activities is already done for you! Click here to download the learning objectives and activity count!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas, AP Spanish Preparing for the Language and Culture Examination and Avance.   In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 4 out of 60+ activities.But in the few cases that I’ve used these resources in the lesson plans, I have included links to alternatives.  However, especially after teaching on-line for a year, I have moved away from relying on textbooks and I create most of the activities myself. This makes these lesson plans very versatile and usable for anyone!  For teachers who need or like to teach digitally, all of the activities in this bundle can be assigned via Google Classroom or other learning management system. And almost every activity is also printable for teachers and students who prefer paper copies.  Best of all, once you have these activities in your Google Drive, you can edit and adapt anything to suit your needs!

I have been teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture® since 2014 and have 24 years of teaching experience.  My students have done overwhelmingly well on the AP exam over the years and almost all have earned the scores needed to get college credit, with many receiving 4’s and 5’s. This course is also taught in conjunction with the University of CT as another way for students to earn college credit.

I start the year with a set of lesson plans designed to last one week.  It is linked below.  We do all the paper-passing, signing up for different apps and classrooms, and become comfortable with the course and our classmates.  We also present our summer homework, also linked below.  Next I teach Unit 1: Families in Different Societies. This unit starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already.   That resource is also linked below.  Unit 2 (La influencia de la lengua y la cultura en la identidad) is next.  AP® teachers are allowed to teach the units in any order they would like, but I recommend that if you plan to use this series of lesson plans, that you go in order. I choose to introduce the AP® test open-ended tasks over time so that students are not overwhelmed.  By unit 3, they will have learned the purpose, rules and resources for all of the tasks and can spend the last 3 units practicing them some more. 

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

Ready to start AP® Spanish Unit 5: The Factors That Influence Quality of Life? (Los factores que influyen en la calidad de vida ) Your entire unit’s lesson plans are done!  These digital AND printable lesson plans have nearly every activity you will need linked in.  Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, Activities that combine 2 skills, Homework, Assessments, AP® Exam Style activities and even Projects are all included! A bigger emphasis is placed on practicing parts of the AP® Exam, because if you are going in order, Unit 5 falls during the time of year when the AP® exam is getting close.  Students will practice writing an A®P Exam Email Reply, they will practice the Cultural Comparison and the Simulated Conversation and practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  This is the fifth unit in the AP® Classroom curriculum. (In my Units 1-4 plans, all of the parts of the AP® Exam have been introduced with direct instruction.) 

Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!  Everything you need is provided!

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while is extremely time consuming.  These complete unit lesson plans will take you through the entire 5th unit for The Factors That Influence Quality of Life  starting with a “Hook Activity” about what is REALLY important in life to spark interest and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide you will need to get started. There are activities related to Education, Work and Leisure Time.  Every activity (over 75!) you need (with the exception of 4) is linked in.  Your prep will be limited to reviewing the lesson plans and sources ahead of your students, but the searching for appropriate authentic materials and creating accompanying activities is already done for you!  Download the learning objectives and activity count here!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas, AP Spanish Preparing for the Language and Culture Examination and Avance.   In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 2 out of 75+ activities.  But in the few cases that I’ve used these resources in the lesson plans, I have included links to alternatives.  However, especially after teaching on-line for a year, I have moved away from relying on textbooks and I create most of the activities myself.

Do your Spanish students struggle in interpersonal speaking and conversations?  Have you tried Integrated Listening and Speaking activities with your Spanish students?  Use these IPA activities to get students listening and responding- just like in tests like AAPPL for the Seal of Biliteracy!  Integrated Performance Assessments mimic real-world interactions, and these activities are great practice for communication!

These no-prep activities include everything you need to assign and go!  Each theme comes with 2 activities with  5 audio links for each, for a total of 10 listening prompts.  Students listen to the audio and record a logical response.  They will hear common expressions used on the AAPPL Test like “Hazme preguntas, cuéntame and dame detalles”. 

Each activity has a teacher script that allows you to correct with ease or even record your own voice if you choose. There are lots of notes and ideas for teachers so you know just how to use this activity! Finally, students can self-assess with the included rubric.  The 2 activities for each theme are created with different levels of complexity, so you can differentiate for different levels amongst your students, or use them at different points in your unit!

Are you teaching a Spanish 2 or 3 unit about Travel and Vacations?  Exhausted from creating all of the activities your students need to be successful?  This unit called “Nuestras vacaciones” includes EVERYTHING you need to teach this unit, without a specific textbook! Reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural activities are all included, along with step by step lesson plans, homework assignments, assessments and answer keys.  Save your time and energy for the millions of other things teachers must do!

Being a new teacher or even teaching a new course can be so overwhelming and so time consuming.  Even districts that have textbooks don’t always provide all of the individual activities students need for practice in building both performance and proficiency.  These lesson plans are designed for about 5 weeks (5 classes a week) for any curriculum teaching about travel and vacations and the past (preterite) tense. They are written day by day, week by week, in a logical sequence.  Each activity is linked into the lesson plans, so you don’t need to go searching for what you need.  Everything is made with Google Docs or Google Slides, so you can modify if you want or need to change anything!

These lesson plans combine all of the best practices of World Language Instruction.  Grammar is embedded into comprehensible input, but specific notes and practices for grammar are also provided.  There are TONS of contextualized practices to increase proficiency, but there are also discrete practices to help students memorize vocabulary and endings to help them along faster! I try to marry performance (being able to communicate on a very specific topic) with proficiency (a person’s overall ability to communicate).  

Preview, print or post, and go! 

Check out the learning objectives and activity count here!

All of these activities are included in these lesson plans, along with many more which cannot be bought separately.

1. Spanish Irregular Preterite e-i Interactive Google Slides with Pear Deck

2. Spanish Youth Hostels: Presentation, Video, Reading

3. Vacaciones en España Culture Presentation with Linked Activities Past Tense

4. Spanish Writing Prompt: Our Vacation Past Tenses Group Challenge

5. Spanish Task Cards: Travel Situations for Speaking or Writing!

6. Spanish Partner Conversations about Travel and Vacation: Guided Conversations

7. Spanish Verb Conjugating: Minuto Loco Print or Digital!

8. Spanish Write, Speak and Listen Activity: Any Level!

9. Spanish Seal of Biliteracy Listening & Speaking for Travel and Vacations

10. Spanish Boom Cards for Regular Pretertite and Ir Travel Theme

Why should you trust me?  I have 23 years of experience as a high school Spanish teacher in years 1, 2, 3, 4 and AP Spanish.   I have taught both with and without textbooks.  Once the pandemic hit and we did not have access to our resources at school, I created most of the materials my students needed on my own. I love designing lesson plans and student activities that are based on growing proficiency and setting students up for success!  I am happy to answer questions and help with any needs as you work through these lesson plans.

Do you struggle to incorporate real-world, authentic reading in your Spanish classroom? These amazing interpretive reading activities cover many common topics in the Spanish classroom and they will get your kids reading and analyzing authentic resources from the Spanish-speaking world. In each activity, your students will:

• read and analyze an infographic
• identify key terms
• determine the main idea
• identify supporting details
• guess the meaning of words based on the context
• answer comprehension questions
• compare and contrast, write a personal reaction, and/or follow-up questions

These reading and writing activities make a great addition to any curriculum for Spanish 2 through AP (as an introduction to the unit). There are two versions of each handout: version 1 has all directions and questions in English, while version 2 has all directions and questions in Spanish. Each activity also includes 2-3 links to suggested articles to extend the learning for each topic

PLEASE NOTE: the infographics are NOT included with these products due to copyright laws and you must access it at the link provided in the individual product description or the link included in each download. I would recommend printing and laminating the infographics, projecting it on your board, or posting it to Google Classroom, Edmodo, or Schoology for students to access it. Each handout includes the link to the image at the top as well as a QR code to the image at the bottom.

Do your students struggle with the preterite vs imperfect tenses? Then this amazing fairy tale bundle is just what you've been looking for! This awesome resource with six fairy tales is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the preterite and the imperfect, along with reading comprehension skills.

Students love these stories because they are stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this tricky grammar topic from dry and boring to engaging and fun! By purchasing this amazing double bundle, you are saving 25% off the price of the individual resources!

This bundle includes six of my classic fairy tale sets in the past tense:

• Cenicienta (Cinderella) - compatible with Google Classroom™
• Blancanieves (Snow White) - compatible with Google Classroom™
• Rapunzel
• Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood) - compatible with Google Classroom™
• Los Tres Cerditos (The Three Little Pigs) - compatible with Google Classroom™
• Ricitos de Oro (Goldilocks) - compatible with Google Classroom™

It’s a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the preterite and imperfect tenses in Spanish.

This file includes two versions of each story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between the preterite and imperfect tenses of the verb.
• Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions and students must correct the false statements.
• Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must first decide which tense to use and then fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb.
• Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish.

Each story is 2-3 pages long. An answer key for both versions of each story is included in the download. The two different versions make differentiation simple!

Each story includes:

• a mini pictorial vocab list in color and black & white
• a mini-PowerPoint (great for pre-teaching key vocabulary)
• a blank six-box storyboard (great for students to illustrate their comprehension of the story)
• answer keys for the stories AND the comprehension questions
• teacher tips page.

All of these great resources are included as a zipped file. Make sure to download the preview to see everything included!

These stories would make great emergency sub plans (10-12 days’ worth of material), homework assignments, or formative assessments. These stories are great for Spanish 2 or as a review of the Preterite vs Imperfect tenses at the beginning of Spanish 3 or 4.
