Looking to supplement your viewing of Coco?

Students know Batman, Superman and Spiderman, but do they know the Latin equivalents like Kaliman, El gato Negro and El Dorado? Students love this take on a Spanish cultural lesson where they are first introduced to 9 superheroes of Latin America (ppt), and then asked to think about a superpower they would like to have. This is then followed by a project (word doc) that allows them to create their own superhero using ser + descriptions. As an additional element to the lesson I often let students’ superheroes compete in a competition where students describe their superheroes and the class votes on which one would win in a showdown. Think “Batman vs. Superman” If you enjoy this activity check out the follow up lesson here: Super-Villains of Latin America

This is a PowerPoint Presentation Jeopardy game that covers all major vocab and grammar structures in Spanish 1. I use this for my Final Exam Review day, but it is a nice recap that could be used at the start of Spanish 2 as well. vocab and grammar are based on the Realidades textbook, but it can be used for any level 1. Categories include (Vocab, verbs, definite and indefinite articles, possessive adjectives, Ir+a+infinitive, and a miscellaneous). It also has two double jeopardy plays and final jeopardy. I also throw a third element in my jeopardy games called club play where all teams playing have to be the first to come up with the correct answer if a club play pops up (it adds a nice dynamic to the game and keeps kids paying more attention when it is not their turn). Once club play is over the team that hit the club play originally will get to complete their standard turn.

This wonderful, editable activity was designed for my Spanish 2 class but could be adjusted for levels 3 and 4 by adding more past tense in descriptions and clues. During the “party” a mysterious murder will occur and it is students’ jobs to talk to each other in the target language to gather and infer information to make an accusation at the end of the game. My students love this game and talk more in Spanish than in any other oral activity that we do. All students receive character cards days before the game starts to tell them how to act, what info they know and what secrets they have. Packet includes an optional prezi to guide the game, directions, plot, character cards, name tags, character list, clues and data report sheet for students to fill out while in conversation. Allow 2-3 days for completion. Designed for my Spanish 2 class but could be adjusted for levels 3 and 4 by adding more past tense in descriptions and clues.

This is a great contextualized Spanish Project that introduces students to Project Change, a non-profit organization that focuses on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals . See their website here: https://www.afsusa.org/project-change/learn/ . Through this project, students are asked to research Project Change, then create a new project proposal for the organization. They will be asked to choose a developing country on the list and a particular UN goal to focus on while creating a solution to a particular global problem of their choice. Students can take this one step further by actually submitting their proposal to Project Change. Occasionally the organization does a contest to encourage young “changemakers” to submit their ideas. Winning proposal is presented with a trip to that country where students actually participate in a service learning program. They currently have a contest open until November 2, 2018. Allow 4-5 days for completion. This project includes a grading rubric and links for the research portion. Recommended for upper level Spanish classes.

This is an auction simulation covering store items vocabulary in Spanish. Shampoo, soap, lipstick, batteries, scarfs, shoes etc… This is an editable resource that could easily be change to fit any set of vocab. For example instead of store items it could be for clothing, foods etc… This is a conversational based activity that I use in Spanish 4. I do not recommend this for lower level Spanish classes because a lot of Spanish conversation and comprehension is required. As the teacher be prepared to lead this activity as the auctioneer. My students love this activity and really get into the bidding. Items for sale in the auction are contextualized for current pop culture. For example one item for sale is Kim Kardashian’s Personal Lipstick, another is Kanye West’s toothbrush. Play money is included with this resource. In pairs students must make decisions about what items they want to buy and must bid against other groups in order to win the item. When they purchase items they are given points. The team with the most points at the end wins the game. Duration is about 55 min.

Great Project for chapters covering stores and store items. Students create a Spanish Tv Commercial / Radio Ad that will be aired during the Super Bowl. It is their job to select a store and product and promote them. First students are asked to fill out the brainstorming doc., then create an advertisement plan, followed by a commentary outline. As a final step they are asked to voice or video record their ad to share with the class. Students really enjoy this project. I recommend this for Spanish 2 or higher. Allow 5/ 60 min classes for the entire PT including 1 day to show final products. This resource includes all detailed directions, checkpoints to keep students on task, launch document and grading rubric.

100% online and ready to go! No prep necessary! Back by popular demand! This is the sequel to my “Choose your own adventure zombie escape game”. This activity does NOT require that you complete part 1. This activity can be implemented as a stand-alone resource. That said, I highly recommend you start with part 1. It will be much more fun for the students. You can find it here: Zombie Escape Game Part 1 Part 1 is their escape from the school. Part 2 here is about saving the town from zombies. Just like part 1, most outcomes in this game lead to them encountering zombies and forces them to start over, however one path allows them to “save the day”. Along the way they will have to read through the Spanish story line and choose their own fate, in between decisions there are also a few google forms that ask them to write out the explanations to their decisions before moving forward in the game. This is a super engaging reading and writing exercise for upper level Spanish 3 or 4. I do not recommend this activity for lower level Spanish classes. Duration is 45-55 mins. **Game requires access to a computers or other tech devices. This is ran on google sites + google forms.

Students get the opportunity to become travel agents making their own brochures through this fun informational research project. Student must choose a Spanish speaking country to research and provide detailed info via a travel brochure. This project is well organized and detailed, giving students specific directions and guidelines for thing to research and what include in the brochure. I base this project off of the Realidades 2 Ch. 8 travel theme and have students incorporate subjunctive by making suggestions for travelers. Example: If visiting Cuba I recommend that you bring your passport. This is also a good way to practice Spanish composition outside of the standard essay format. Duration is 1 week.

Students know The Joker, The Goblin and Lex Luthor, but do they know the Latin equivalents like La Arana Negra, El Diablo and Black Tarantula ? Students love this take on a Spanish cultural lesson where they are first introduced to super villains of Latin America (ppt), then they are asked to create their own supervillain using ser + descriptions. As an additional element to the lesson I often let students’ supervillains compete in a competition where students describe their supervillains and the class votes on which one would win in a showdown. Think “Batman vs. Superman” This is a follow up lesson that I use a few weeks after completing the Superhero Project but could be used as a stand alone assignment as well.
