Wondering how to make your Spanish lessons more engaging and culture-rich?  Looking to save time on planning and have student-centered activities?  This resource does it all!  This presentation will have Spanish students reading, writing, speaking and listening all while learning about what the city of Ávila is like in Spain!

The Google Slides™ presentation contains original photographs from Ávila, Spain, a beautiful and medieval city to the north of Madrid. Each slide contains text taking students through Ávila’s past (its incredible walls, towers and cathedral) and present-day life with some views of the city!  The text is mainly written in both present and past (preterite and imperfect) and therefore is great for Years 2, 3 and 4. 

Practice all of our skills with the included listening, speaking and writing activities!  This resource even includes an extension activity for students who need a challenge; they will create their own diary entry about a day in the life of a citizen of Ávila in the 1100’s!
