*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

-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!

Why should I use this product in my classroom?

If you're embarking on your first year as an AICE Environmental Management AS teacher, stepping into the classroom fresh, balancing the excitement of teaching with the demands of a brand new course, or simply juggling numerous responsibilities and classes, this resource is tailor-made for you. Crafting curriculum for a full unit, let alone an entire course, that is both structured and stimulating, filled with dynamic activities, and perfectly aligned with standards of a challenging AICE Exam, can feel like an overwhelming task. This bundle help ease that burden for you.

I’ve spent over 10 years teaching AICE Environmental Management course and creating this curriculum took hundreds of hours. With this curriculum I had an average over 90% pass rate on the AICE Environmental Management AS Exam, teaching thousands of students at Florida Public High School.

I believe this success is due to multiple factors, but I attribute a lot of it to the comprehensive and creative nature of the curriculum that I have designed. You can read more about my curriculum strategy on my blog HERE.
