Pre-AP Spanish Simulated Conversations Version 2 Recorded Convos For Test Prep
By Specialty Spanish
Spanish students can practice conversing with these simulated conversations. Answering questions can be difficult for students, but these 5 (MORE) interpersonal speaking tasks give students some general information about what they will hear and how they should answer. An audio link accompanies each conversation, with a 20 second timed pause for students to answer. There is also a rubric for easy feedback!
These simulated conversations mimic the AP Spanish Simulated Conversation task and are also great practice for Seal of Biliteracy tests (like AAPPL) where interpersonal speaking is one of the tasks. Start practicing early!
***This resource was formerly the Seal of Biliteracy Interpersonal Speaking Task. As of 2/18/23, I replaced the Seal of Biliteracy Interpersonal Speaking Task with one more aligned to the AAPPL test. This Simulated Conversations, Version 2, is now being offered as a different resource. If you purchased the Seal Interpersonal Speaking or the Seal Bundle before 2/18/23, you already own this resource!***

30 SPANISH speaking question cards - The weather
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
30 SPANISH speaking question cards - The weather
Want your students to use their Weather vocabulary in fun and meaningful conversations? You can use this NO PREP activity year after year as a fun way to encourage your students to speak more to each other about EL TIEMPO. This resource is suitable for any curriculum in which SPANISH is the language spoken, and will work best for students in 6th to 12th grade.
You can use these cards after learning specific weather vocabulary or as a fun interactive activity on any day when you want to just focus on speaking and reviewing vocabulary in a different way.
All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities. A pdf with only one card per page is included for easy projection when you don't want to print.
Included:
➱ 30 speaking prompt cards
➱ PDF version to project and avoid printing (1 card per page to project)
➱ 9 ways to use these cards
There are many ways you can use this set of task cards:
✫ Print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
✫ Project the pdf file in class to work in group or with your whole class and avoid printing.
✫ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
✫ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
✫ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
✫ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
✫ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
✫ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
✫ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
✫ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
