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!

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!  

Consider asking your district to buy this product for you!

Interactive and Fun!

Gamifying your Spanish class can bring numerous benefits and enhance the learning experience for students. Here are some reasons why you should consider gamifying your Spanish class:

1. Increased Engagement: Games are inherently engaging and can capture students' attention. Gamifying your Spanish class makes learning more enjoyable and encourages active participation.

2. Motivation: Games provide a sense of achievement and progress. Students are motivated to earn points, badges, or rewards, which can drive them to learn and improve their Spanish skills.

3. Interactive Learning: Gamification promotes interactive learning through challenges, quizzes, and interactive exercises. This hands-on approach helps students actively practice and apply their language skills.

4. Competition: Healthy competition can inspire students to excel. Leaderboards and challenges encourage students to strive for better performance, fostering a sense of achievement.

• Students will practice many Spanish One Concepts like: Greetings, Present Tense, Present Tense Stem changers, ser and estar, questions, nationalities, introductions to spanish class, adjectives, cultural units, saber vs. conocer, and much more! The excitement and engagement of games often lead to better information retention and recall, which is crucial for language learning.

• Students type in the password to play.

These games are perfect for sub-plans, reviews before a test, lesson-fillers, exit slips, homework, independent practice, warm-up!

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 6th unit for Global Challenges  starting with a “Hook Activity” using provocative images to spark interest and thought, and then the essential questions, vocabulary list and grammar study guide that you will need to get started. There are activities related to Climate Change and Immigration.  Every activity (over 58!) you need (with the exception of 2) 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 58+ activities. (They are grammar practices, but I provide the study guide and quiz, so you can easily make or find practices to go with these!)  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.

There is a place within the lesson plans where I encourage a break from the unit to review for the AP® Exam. I have a schedule for review that I use with my students which I will link below.  If you are using this unit at a different point in the year, you can go through the unit without pause!

What Other Teachers Say:

Extremely satisfied

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!

New to teaching AP Spanish Language and Culture®?  Make Back To School easier and consider your Unit 1 Lesson Plans (Familias en diferentes sociedades) 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 a project are all included! Students will learn how to complete the AP® Exam Cultural Comparison in this unit as well as practice the reading and listening multiple choice style questions.  This is the first unit in the AP® Classroom curriculum and a great way to get the year started with your new students!  Best of all, these lesson plans do NOT require that you have a particular textbook!

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!   

**Please be sure to buy additional licenses if more than one teacher plans to use this resource.**
