Colombia Teaching Pack | Photo Deck, Study Sheet, Worksheet, Notes

Teach Colombia first, then test it. This teaching pack covers exactly the content the Colombia Quiz Bank assesses, in plain English your Spanish 1 students can follow, with Spanish key terms and one readable Spanish sentence on every content slide. One complete period of teaching: 14 slides, ten real photos.

Grades 6-12.

Colombia is the only South American country with two coasts: Bogotá and La Candelaria, the colonial towns of Barichara and Villa de Leyva, the adventure capital San Gil, San Andrés in the Caribbean, the wax palms of Cocora, the coffee country of the Eje Cafetero, the El Dorado legend, ajiaco and hormigas culonas, Cartagena and the Barranquilla Carnival, Gabriel García Márquez, and Fernando Botero.

WHAT IS INSIDE: an introduction PDF (contents, the teach, study, practice, assess path, and links); the teaching deck in PowerPoint (14 slides, 16:9, one big real photo on most slides, 3 to 5 teaching bullets per slide, Spanish key terms highlighted, one En español sentence with its translation on every content slide); the same deck as a Google Slides copy, ready to import in 3 steps; a 2 page study sheet (one short plain English paragraph per topic area, 2 photos, and a Key Vocabulary box of 12 culture words, each explained in plain English); a worksheet with fresh practice items (matching 10 pairs, fill in the blank with a word bank 7, short answer 3); the worksheet key with a one line explanation for every answer; and teacher lesson notes (3 pages: timing plan, slide by slide talking points, worksheet guidance, full photo credits, and terms of use).

HOW A LESSON RUNS: TEACH (about 25 minutes), present the deck and talk through each slide with the lesson notes. STUDY (about 10 minutes), students read the study sheet. PRACTICE AND CHECK (about 15 minutes), the worksheet, graded fast with the explained key. ASSESS (next step), the Colombia Quiz Bank. Total: about 50 minutes, one full class period. The study sheet is understandable from the English alone, and its vocabulary box explains only the culture words a first year student cannot guess, like ajiaco, hormigas culonas, and cumbia.
