AP Spanish Lesson Plans for the Whole Year without a Textbook + Test Prep
By Specialty Spanish
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!

These resources totally saved me!! This product has everything I needed (and didn't want to make myself) for those first days and weeks of class. There’s so much included - a slideshow to outline what students can expect in the course, a grading policy, syllabus, a parent letter, LESSON PLANS...the list goes on! I especially like the interview activity and homework activity, and that everything is editable on Google Docs. Whether you’re new to AP or looking to refresh what you have, this has everything you could even think about needing!
Who can use this product?
- AP® Spanish Language and Culture Teachers
What’s included in this product and how can I use it?
Day 1 Google SlideShow: English Version (25 slides)
-On the first day of school, my AP students are so nervous and wondering if they made the right decision to attempt AP Spanish. They often aren’t certain that they have enough skill to do well. This slideshow explains what is the same and what is different about AP Spanish, highlighting that they are working to earn 6 college credits! I share pictures of the many blessings I have in my life as a result of learning Spanish as a way to encourage them to keep studying Spanish. You never know what doors will be open to you! At the end of the presentation, I have several “Turn and Talk” questions to ease them back into speaking Spanish. Many of the beginning slides in this version are in English. I make a decision year-to-year on which version to use (Spanish or English) based on what I think my students’ needs might be. I use the English version when fear and anxiety is especially high.
Day 1 Google SlideShow: Spanish Version (25 slides)
-This is the same presentation as described above- all in Spanish.
Grading Policy (2 pages)
-This grading policy lays out what the grading categories will be and what percentage each one counts for. It also explains the late work and cheating/plagiarism policies.
Course Syllabus (5 pages)
-This syllabus is written in a combination of Spanish and English. It is meant to be handed out to students, but also useful for parents or administrators who don’t speak Spanish. It lays out the course description, the textbooks and resources we use, the grading, attendance, late work and cheating plagiarism policies, and the course calendar.
What is Language Proficiency? (2 pages)
-As a language teacher, I have been asked the questions “When will I be fluent?” or “When will my child be fluent” many times. This handout explains what language proficiency is according to ACTFL, and lists where we hope to start and end the course with students. It includes the Can-Do statements for each level from ACTFL.
Cheating and Plagiarism (2 pages)
-This is a comprehensive handout of what, exactly, is and is not allowed when using resources when students need help. It gives students specific information on what resources are allowed, and how to properly document when they have used a resource. It explains the academic and behavioral consequences related to infractions. It requires signatures from both the student and a parent/guardian.
Class Codes (1 page)
-This doc has a spot to list all the join codes for the different things we use. Mine includes Google Classroom, Remind and the AP Classroom join codes. I find this helpful to have in case a new student joins the class after the first few days of school.
Country Chart (1 page)
Each semester, students are assigned a country of study where Spanish is spoken. We use these countries when I ask them to find articles related to specific topics or cultural products, practices and perspectives. This doc has teacher notes about how to assign countries and how to use small groups to get them talking about their countries!
First Day Interview Sheet (for students) (1 page)
-A Spanish questionnaire to find out more about your new students! I ask about their interests, strengths, plans, and family.
First Homework: Our Summer (3 pages- instructions and 2 examples)
-This is an easy and personalized homework assignment that asks students to share a picture and description of something they did this summer. In class, I have students read others’ work and comment on it as a way to begin building camaraderie.
College Credit Night: Info Sheet for Parents (2 pages)
-Our school has both an AP Course info night for parents/guardians. This handout explains what is the same and what is different about AP Spanish compared to Years 1-4. It highlights how being successful with the AP Exam can lead to earning 6 college credits!
Week 1 Lesson Plans (6 pages)
-These lesson plans are written for a 5-day school week with 45 minute periods, but can be easily adapted to any school schedule. The beginning of a school year can be a little dry with all the housekeeping items of passing out papers, seating charts, book distribution, etc. But these lesson plans incorporate something every day to make sure students are hearing and speaking Spanish right from the first day, while also taking care of the unavoidable tasks. There are teacher notes and several options so that you can tailor your first week of school to what you and your students will most enjoy!
Parent Letter & Guest Speaker Request (1 page)
-This is a letter I send home to families (either in handout form or via email). I introduce myself as their teacher and ask if anyone might be willing to be a guest speaker for our class, or knows someone who would. I have had amazing guest speakers for my students who talk about how they use Spanish in their careers and/or lives, and it is very motivating for students to see how people use their Spanish outside of our classroom walls! It’s a wonderful way to involve families too!
Remember that all of these documents are easily modified or edited to be tailored to your exact school and needs!
Administrators, please remember to purchase multiple licenses if you are purchasing this resource for more than one department member!

Hello and welcome!
Starting a new school year teaching programming? Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Are you teaching AP Computer Science A and need materials? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!
I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.
This bundle covers from "your first Java program" to arrays. This is a HEFTY semester (About 6 months) worth of materials. Inside this bundle you'll find:
Topics:
Programming in Java 0: Introduction to Java

This bundle is HUGE! It has more than you can cover in one year in a programming course. It starts with the very basic "Hello World" program, goes through loops and logic, to classes with an optional lesson on arrays. This first semester is equivalent to a college level programming course.
The course then takes a fun turn into using the JSwing package and forms in Java.
To top off the course, it ends with game creation. It teaches students how to use Listeners, Timers, and create their own Sprites. This is an out of the box experience that students will love.
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow - Can be teacher or student driven!
an assignment - differentiated with three different levels!
a pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an answer key in pdf form - For a quick check
an answer key in .java form - Runnable out of the box.
You can pick and choose the ones you like or have students do their best to reach the "Hacker" level. This will last about a mark period and can be extended easily!
Depending on your style, you could go over the slides as a group, then let students play around. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them go.
Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error and collaboration.

This is part 0 ("computer people" start counting at 0, we'll learn why!) and part 1 of an introductory Programming in Java lesson. These lessons are meant to be done on the first few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.
Topics:
Programming in Java 0: An Introduction to Java
How to start using Java- installing the compiler
General error types
HelloWorld project
Programming in Java 1: Variables and Types
How to declare variables and name them in Java
What are types?
Calculations and equations
Incrementing
Formatting output
All lessons will come with the following:
a pdf slideshow
A pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors
an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!
an answer key in pdf form
an answer key in .java form
Depending on your style, you could go over Programming in Java 0 on day 1, then let students play around. Go over Programming in Java 1 the next day and give them the attached assignment. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them play.

Syllabus for AP Literature & Composition | Editable & Diverse! | AP Lit Syllabi
By Rigorous Resources for High School English
UPDATED for the 2024-2025 School Year: This syllabus is for a year-long course in AP® English Literature and Composition. The curriculum features 10 units on works of literary merit written by diverse authors — works which appear frequently on the AP Literature Exam.
Core Texts: The literary texts featured on this syllabus — from Macbeth and Frankenstein through The Great Gatsby and Their Eyes Were Watching God — are guaranteed to motivate high engagement from modern-day teenagers! The curriculum was designed to be inclusive and intersectional with respect to race, class, and gender. Each unit features higher-order discussion questions, frequent writing tasks, literary device exercises, and longer writing assignments which amount to rehearsals of the FRQ essays on the AP Lit Exam.
Skills Objectives: This curriculum focuses on the six "big ideas" — as well as the advanced reading and writing skills — which the College Board has identified as the core components of AP Literature and Composition. It equips students with the terminologies and techniques for analyzing how six formal elements — character, setting, structure, narration, figurative language, and literary argumentation — deepen the content of a literary text.
Organization: The 10 units on this syllabus are organized chronologically, with the various texts corresponding to important literary movements: Renaissance, Romanticism, Modernism, Harlem Renaissance, Postmodernism, etc. But please feel free to re-organize and/or replace the units at your discretion. Because the syllabus is fully editable, you'll be able to customize the materials to suit your own literary tastes and/or the interests of your students — year after year!
