AP Spanish El cambio climatico Edpuzzle Podcast
By Specialty Spanish
Have you head the Notes in Spanish podcasts? Do you use Edpuzzle? For AP Spanish® Unit 6, I made an MP4 recording of the audio for the podcast about Climate Change, and uploaded it to Edpuzzle! I inserted multiple choice, auto-graded questions into the recording to help students to find the right spot in the podcast to find the answer. The auto-grading of Edpuzzle is not only a time-saver for teachers, but allows students to have feedback on what answers they got right or wrong!
If you've never heard the Notes in Spanish Podcasts before, here is some info!
From their website:

AP Spanish Persuasive Paragraph Assessment with Study Guide and Rubric
By Specialty Spanish
AP Spanish® teachers- here is a GREAT way to assess both content knowledge and either writing or speaking skill! This assessment can be digital or printable, formative or summative! It can serve as a good introduction to the argumentative essay or a faster way to assess persuasive writing than having students do a full argumentative AP®-style essay. Included in this resource is a student study guide explaining what their task is and some helpful do's and don'ts to writing persuasively!
Instead of an entire essay, students will write a concise paragraph defending a position related to a topic investigated in class. In order to do well, students must reference the sources they read, listened to, viewed and discussed in class. This task asks a question about climate change, but simply change out the question to make this assessment fit with any unit or context!
Who can use this product?
- Advanced Spanish students (Year 4, 5 AP®)
How can I use this product?
- Assign this assessment via Google Classroom (or other digital learning platform) or print this out to use it in paper form
- Use this assessment as a writing or a speaking task
- Change out the question to use and re-use this assessment
- Grade this as a formal or informal assessment (formative or summative)
- Use this as a homework assignment or a class activity
- Use this as a lead-in to writing an entire argumentative essay
- Assess content knowledge as well ask language proficiency
What's included in this product?
- a page of Teacher Notes with helpful hints about using this resource
- a study guide for students including the do's and don'ts of writing persuasively
