Make learning Spanish fun with this simple, comprehensible input Spanish lesson plan and story. This lesson plan includes a story with targeted structures that can be repeated to give your students lots of repetitions. Comprehension activities to use after the story will allow you to engage your students and makes sure that your Spanish lesson is truly comprehensible input.

Miguel loves his red pants, but all of the other kids laugh at him when he wears them. So he tries other pants - but they still laugh. Could the problem be something other than his questionable fashion choices? There are four targeted vocabulary structures that are used multiple times throughout the story. The targeted structures are:

• Él se viste

• feo

• No entiendo

• En rebaja

This very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version. Tell the story as you watch it (pause if you want to stop and discuss or storyask!), or just watch it for comprehension. The video is just over 5 minutes long, with pause time for students to read the text. There is a second version of the video with only the illustrations - no text - so you can watch it and do story retells. With novice low and novice mid learners, you can tell the story as is. For novice high learners, you can add more details or write a parallel story. You could even use this story at higher levels by having students retell the story in the past.

Here’s what you’ll get in this Spanish Comprehensible Input Lesson:

• Links to the videos both with and without the text

• A printable pdf version of the story

• Comprehension question worksheet

• "Who said it?" worksheet

• Story retell worksheet

• Answer key

Whether you teach Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin Chinese, this is the perfect lesson to get your students thinking about the purpose of studying foreign languages!

This product features an engaging "Language Talk" activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about the purpose of learning languages and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for what I expect in class - it is a great way to gain insight about their current attitudes towards speaking another language while they get to know one another with a higher level thinking activity as opposed to the same-old, same-old icebreaker.

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Language" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Language Quote" signs to hang up around your room

Though I utilize this product on the first day of school, it really can be used all year long. I hope that it is as successful in your class as it is in mine!

Estela has a dog, a really big dog. Her dog is causing trouble at school, because he keeps eating her homework. Will she be able to convince her teacher that the dog really is hungry enough to eat her homework? There are four targeted vocabulary structures that are used multiple times throughout the story. The targeted structures are:

• él ha comido

• Ella pide

• No le cree

• Estaba hambriento

This very simple story is told in two different ways. There is a printable text version, and an animated mp4 version.

The Snowball Game is an interactive activity instead of doing a worksheet. It is an engaging and fun way to practice the direct object pronouns. This is a great way to get students up and moving while learning harder concepts.

Students start with one sentence in Spanish that they rewrite on their answer key replacing the direct object with the direct object pronoun. The student then crumbles up his sentence (snowball) and tosses it to another student. The students try to rewrite as many sentences as possible with the direct object pronouns before the time is up.

Easy prep! Directions are included. Just print the student answer key and sentence "snowballs" and have fun!

Other reasons to play the snowball game to practice Direct Object Pronouns:

⭐️ It is a good brain break too!

⭐️ You can quickly informally assess if the students are understanding by walking around and looking at their sentences.

⭐️ The sentences in this activity include a variety of present and preterite tenses.

⭐️ This would be a good introduction to Direct Object Pronouns in Spanish or a good review for upper levels**.**

⭐️ It could also be used as a formal assessment. You could collect and grade the sentences they complete.

What is included in this activity?

❆ Teacher instructions

❆ 26 sentences to cut up and distribute

❆ 2 blank sentences if you would like to write your own sentences

❆ Blank numbered answer key to write down answers

❆ Teacher Answer Key to project or go over answers with the students

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!   

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

This Spanish writing unit can be used throughout the year to practice different verb tenses, or as a review for the end of the year. It includes several writing activities requiring the use of the present, preterite, imperfect, future and conditional tenses. Each activity has a brief explanation of how to use the necessary verb tense.

Once students have written their paragraphs about their superhero (or supervillain!) they can make a poster showing off different aspects of their hero: who they are and what their powers are, what their costume looks like, what they will and won't do with their powers, how they got their powers, and the grand finale: who would win in a superhero vs. supervillain matchup.
