Engaging Spanish for Real Classrooms –
Great for that crazy Thanksgiving time of year. Thanks!
Yamira Gonzalez –
This reasource was a great add on to my lesson. All of my students enjoy it! Thank you!
Sarah L. –
I used this as a gallery walk to get students moving around the room, reading descriptions and answering questions on who did what. Also led nicely into a journal entry about what their plans for Thanksgiving are.
Andrea P. –
As a middle school teacher who has both novice and students in the same class, I liked that I could scaffold for those students who needed a boost AND challenge my heritage speakers all with the same activity. Lots of great, new vocabulary in context. Since I posted parts of this around the room, it also got students up and moving
Kayty R. –
My students loved this resource and it saved me a ton of prep time! Would definitely purchase again!
Enedit Baeza –
My students loved the resource. They were really engaged.
Persida C. –
This was an easy activity to use during Thanksgiving week. For middle schoolers had to give some redirection as they found it a little hard, but overall good resource.
Carrie L. –
I liked being able to give my students level-appropriate readings about gratitude and Thanksgiving.
Karry P. –
I love these. There are 12 readings that I spread out around the room and students work individually or in pairs looking to find who ate pie or makes pie, etc. I prefer the paper version so I can be there to help and guide students. There are vocab additions /definitions on the bottom which are helpful for my students that need a little extra help. I like to use these on an early out with shorter class periods and then add a vocab or grammar activity. It’s also a nice change of pace for the students and helps build confidence when they can find / read all the stories. Thanks.
Melissa D. –
Great resource that involved little prep time from me.
Jennifer Duke –
Loved this gallery walk to use the week of Thanksgiving. So fun and engaging.
Laura Shible –
My son got suddenly ill and I needed some low-prep resources before break. This worked perfectly, the sub was happy, and I did not have to worry about lesson planning. I am keeping this in my “toolbox”.
Stephanie J. –
This was GREAT to use with students on the first day back from Thanksgiving break. We did as a gallery walk.
Christine P. –
My students enjoyed this activity. It was a little challenging for my students as they have had 6 weeks of Spanish. I showed them a slideshow with vocabulary and gave them some notes on verbs beforehand. I hung up all the reading cards on the wall, but we did read through one card prior to them starting the activity.
Kristan E. –
This was a nice Thanksgiving activity. The students were challenged and engaged throughout the process.
Betty S. –
My students really liked this resource. It was challenging but fun. Thanks
Karen Miller –
We enjoyed using this material right before the holiday. Thank you!
