Setting up the Virtual Field Trip in Spanish Class
These virtual field trips are great to use! Either print or post the comprehension questions and graphic organizer, then give your students the link to the interactive map. I prefer to use the printable versions of the worksheets so my students don’t have to switch between tabs, but the digital option is great for hybrid settings. It’s also a great sub plan if you need to post something from home!
Using the Virtual Field Trip
When I have used activities like this, I do my usual start of class routine, then the map activity. I usually include a fast finisher activity just in case for my speediest students. That is my lesson plan for a 45-50 minute class period with my high school Spanish 1s. When I taught middle school I found that the fast finisher was rarely needed!
