These Spanish Scenario Task Cards are designed to increase skill and confidence with creative speaking and writing!  Scenario Task Cards are a great, NO PREP way to get your Spanish 2, 3 and 4 and even AP Spanish students speaking or writing every day! They have open-ended prompts for students to use to tell a story orally or on paper.   (These are generic enough to be used with any curriculum!)  

First, this bundle includes 17 different themes!  Consider your daily warm-up for the year DONE with no prep!

There are 20 different scenarios per theme which give students an idea of what to talk about in a story that they make up. Each set of scenario cards come in 3 versions!  First,  a large scale digital version that can be displayed for the class.  (Perfect for a warm-up!) The other version is printable (4 cards per page) and comes in both black and white and an attractive color version. 

Some cards provide helpful vocab that students may need to discuss the scenario. Some sets come with a vocab list that can be printed (maybe laminated) so that students can integrate related vocabulary that they may not know already.

These situation task cards feature scenarios perfect for practicing talking about many of the life events that are common to teens, and common to most Spanish curriculum and Seal of Biliteracy tests.   The prompts ask students to talk about themselves and others in present, past and future time frames.  The prompts are in English. Google Slides can be modified if you need to change something to meet your students’ needs!

Themes:

-Childhood -Clothing and Shopping

-Travel -Accidents and Injuries

-Present -Hobbies and Free Time

-Past -Jobs and Employment

-Future -Giving Advice

-Spring -Daily Life

-Fall -The Environment

-Winter -Asking Questions

-Spring

Bonus!  Also included is a peer feedback sheet and a self-assessment sheet!

Who can use this product?

• Appropriate for students in Spanish 2, 3, 4 and 5
• Novice High and up

How can I use this product?

• Teacher notes for the multiple ways to use these are included in the slides!
• Pair students and have them take turns telling stories based on their scenario
• Ask students to give peer feedback or self-assess
• Display task cards on your Smartboard for the class.  Have one partner make up a story.  Set a timer and challenge them to try to talk the entire time!  Change the slide and have the other partner take a turn!
• Use these task cards as multiple versions of a speaking assessment.  This allows for student choice and/or prevents students sharing the exact task for advance preparation.
• These task cards can also be used for writing prompts or assessments!
• Ask students to peer or self-assess using the included forms

What’s included in this product?

• Teacher instructions and ideas for how to use these Situation Task Cards

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!
