12th Grade Unit Plans

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!

Get a full year's worth lessons and activities for first year French. These French units and resources include everything you need to teach and practice the typical things taught in a level one French course.

Teaching from a textbook can get boring, and sometimes textbooks simply don't give enough practice to learn vocabulary and grammar. Maybe you would rather focus on communication, and you plan to use a comprehensible input approach, but your textbook doesn't really work for that. This French curriculum bundle will give you everything you need to have structure, variety, and practice in your level one French classes.

• 8 full units using comprehensible input - cover the same material as most first year French textbooks but using the language with repetition and context.
• 36 Digital games to practice vocabulary and grammar
• 19 Digital escape games to learn about the culture of the Francophone world
• 12 Non-fiction CI lessons - learn about interesting topics using sheltered language and grammar, with lots of repetition and a focus on comprehensibility
• 12 CI short story lessons - cute stories with very limited vocabulary - each story includes story retell and comprehension activities.
• 3 Interactive notebook pages for some of the biggest grammar points in first year.
• 5 grammar lessons with PowerPoints to teach some of the most basic French grammar - subject pronouns, adjectives, ER, IR and RE verbs

Use the full units as the backbone of your instruction, and the digital games will give students extra practice with the vocabulary and grammar points. For fun, you can spice it up a bit with an escape game, short story, or non-fiction lesson every so often.

Introducing our NEW Accelertated Rock'n'Rollin'!

Accelerated Rock'n'Rollin' is designed for the beginning drummer in ages 13 and up, and even adults! The book is a combination of levels 1 and 2 which dives straight into reading music on the simplified staff with the abbreviations on circles (notes and moves students through reading drum music on the staff, learning note values, time signatures, and dynamics. In this book, patterns are called solos.

There are also a hand full of composing activities throughout the book. Remember that students should not be rushed through the book, and it is completely okay to keep students working on a certain section or pattern for a few weeks at a time until they’re comfortable.

To make sure they’re playing with accuracy, start off each pattern around 60bpm. You can adjust the tempo from there as they learn the patterns.

The book flows in the following order:

• Introduce the Instruments on a simplified 3-line staff.

• Moves to a traditional 5-line staff.

• Introduce notes as quarter notes on the staff, and changes cymbals to cross notes.

• Introduce Half Notes and Rests, Whole Notes and Rests, and Dotted half notes.

• Introduce Rudiments and Stickings.

  • From Book 2, “ROCK’N’RUDIMENTS” readies students to learn and play simple stickings in 4/4 and 3/4 times using Quarters, Whole, Halfs, and Eighth notes. These rudiments can be used for fills, and can be revisited later on. 

• Introduces beamed 8th notes (2 sounds in 1 beat.)

• Introduces Forte and Piano dynamics. 

Printing instructions are included on the first page, with a print authorization certificate on page 2. The book is pages 3-102 in the document. Duplication is ALLOWED with this product. E-mail us at: zsmusiceducation@gmail.com for more information.

Ready to start AP Spanish® Unit 4: The Influence of Science and Technology?  No time to find all the authentic materials your students need?  Your Unit 4 Lesson Plans (Las influencias de la ciencia y la tecnología ) 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 practice writing an AP® Exam Argumentative Essay and practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  This is the fourth unit in the AP Classroom curriculum. (In my Units 1-3 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 4th unit for The Influences of Science and Technology starting with a “Hook Activity” about scientific advances 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 genetic modification, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and more!  These are CURRENT topics that our students are interested in RIGHT NOW!  Every activity (over 58!) 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!  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 3 out of 58+ 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. 

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 (Unit 4) starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already and logically follows units 1, 2 and 3 where I present all the different tasks of the AP® Spanish Exam.   The previous unit plans are 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, though it is not a necessity if you have your own way of preparing students for the AP® Exam..  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. 

Need an example before you buy?  I don't blame you!  Feel free to email me or visit my website's free resource library. (links below)  I have a FREE Unit 3 Day 1 lesson plan for the Influences of Beauty and Aesthetics.  It will give you a sense of how I organize my daily lesson plans and the quality of my work.

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

Feedback from Other Buyers

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

Teaching a new course, or even trying to revamp a course you’ve taught for a while can be overwhelming.  These lesson plans will take you through the entire first unit for Families in Different Societies, 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 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! Download the learning objectives and activity count here!

I am fortunate to have several textbook resources including Temas and Avance.  In these lesson plans I make use of these textbooks for 3 out of 50 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. However, 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 suite 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. My course is also run as a collaboration with the University of CT.

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.  This unit starts as if all of the beginning of the year “housekeeping” has been done already. 

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

Are you wanting to use French comprehensible input in your classes, but:

• You are required to use a district textbook?
• You need a little bit of structure as you get your feet wet with comprehensible input?
• You are required to give a district final, but want to use CI to teach your classes?

If so, this bundle of comprehensible input units for French is for you!

These units are the perfect complement to a district curriculum or textbook - they cover the typical vocabulary and grammar taught in the first semester of French 1, but with a more communicated approach.  Work through the unit with circling and repetition and at the end of each unit, your students will be amazed at how much they can do with the language!

Here's what you'll get in each unit:

• Daily PowerPoint lesson for you to present the material
• A student dictionary handout page
• Word wall printable posters
• Daily bell work activities
• Practice handouts to give your students practice in using the language
• A unit story based on the vocabulary of the previous lessons
• Cloze activities to accompany the unit story
• Running dictation game to accompany the unit story
• Animated video of the story
• Short assessments for the unit: reading, listening, presentational speaking, interpersonal communication and presentational writing
• It's not fair game - both in English and French versions to review the unit story

Your students will pick up the language as they work through the unit.  With a combination of the daily powerpoint to allow for circling and repetition and the activities to give students using the language in a real-life way, you will be amazed at how much they can do by the end of the unit!  Each unit has a full set of lesson plans that will take you through everything students need to know in order to read the unit story at the end.  

Level 1 currently has units 1-8 available.  No matter what textbook or curriculum you use, these units cover the basics that are generally taught in level 1 French.  Level 2 has units 1-8.  If you would like to see what vocabulary is included in each unit, please visit http://bit.ly/2Sg3tLK.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sara L. says “I've been wanting to take the CI plunge and this resource did it for me! I experimented with 7th graders who have French for only 9 weeks and my level I 8th graders. I wasn't sure how the 7th graders would react but they LOVED it! I followed the resource almost exactly although I did need to spread the days out a bit. I was amazed at what students could DO at the conclusion of the unit. This did it for me, I have purchased the following units from Frenchified and am now a fan of CI! “

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mme CC says “This resource is quite the gem. It has everything you need. I love the amount of prepared comprehensible input we have! My district textbook claims to be CI based, but there isn't nearly enough input provided. As a busy teacher, I needed something with input and output tasks ready to go and this has it all! Thank you so much! I look forward to using the other units!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hannah H says “I liked all the repetition, and I purchased another of these packs. My students like the pictures, and recognized most of the famous people used in the PowerPoint. I love how the PowerPoint was in Word, I was able to turn it into google slides (we use Schoology, and it takes Google Docs) with no problem. Great resource!  It also comes with worksheets and some graphic organizers. Love all those things. “

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Mlle D says “Another fantastic resource that proved to be versatile and well worth the money. It was so easy to pick and choose activities to include during distance learning. I love the consistency with your units and how well laid out and organized they are. “

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

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.
