El activismo de los jóvenes (New!)
This resource focuses on the life and activism of Mari Copeny. In addition to learning about her life, students will get an opportunity to become mini-activists in their communities through a guided and scaffolded call to action. This informational text is perfect for a unit on superheroes, activism, and global challenges in the lower levels. The text features both present (majority) and past tense, which is perfect for Novice-mid-high students. Click below to see the preview!
Datos interesantes sobre el español (New!)
I have always wanted to create this resource for my students, and this summer I finally got around to it! This informational text includes bits and pieces of the origin story of the Spanish language with comparisons to other Romance languages. This is a text I am using to ground my students in declarative knowledge about cognates, which I rely on heavily throughout the year to ease language learning.
Los desafíos educativos (this was such a hit with my students!)
Sometimes, we avoid complex topics with lower-level (Spanish 1-2) students due to the complicated nature of the language. However, this resource levels the “learning field” will prioritizing access to authentic problems, resources, in comprehensible Spanish. Your students will learn about educational challenges around the world. This mini-unit comes equipped with informational texts, pictures, videos, listening activities, writing, and speaking opportunities. Engage students with global challenges of our world in the lower-level class, why wait?
Freebie Alert!

Tengo Mucho
This resource provides mileage with the verb tener and the use of articles. It provides students with an intuitive explanation and step-by-step guidance on how to use articles with gendered nouns. Most importantly, students get to put learning into practice!

Dialogue for students (Novice-Mid)
Qué nervios resource is a great way to review Spanish 1 vocabulary and structures from the very first day. It takes a load of pressure off of students because they don’t have to “recreate” language. They just follow the dialogue.
FREEBIE ALERT!
Todo sobre mí (freebie for all levels)
This is one of my favorite activities and it has been revamped! There are a plethora of low-stakes questions students answer about their preferences. I actually use this as part of my “Personal Interviews” arsenal in Spanish IV.
Entrevista con Ainhoa (Novice-mid). I actually use these resources to incidentally teach new vocabulary words. This is based on an interview. As students read or act out the dialogue/interview. They are invariably exposed to new vocabulary words that are contextualized. There are several follow-up activities.
Gracias is a short story about a boy from Venezuela who leaves his country for Colombia. He has mixed feelings on the first day of school but is pleasantly surprised by the generosity of his classmates and teacher. This is a great resource to use to talk about both school supplies, empathy, immigration, and belongingness. It’s one of my favorites!
Dreaming in Spanish Bundle- a plethora of stories (and activities) for a vast variety of gustos!
