This helps improve recognition of vocabulary and verb tenses. In addition to the color by verb activity, each puzzle also contains an application or synthesis activity in which students must tell the meanings of conjugated verbs or fit them into sentences. This Product Includes Puzzles & Synthesis Activities for: -Regular AR Preterite Tense Verbs -Verbs ending in CAR GAR ZAR in the Preterite -Regular ER & IR Verbs in the Preterite -Stem-Changing Verbs in the Preterite -Irregular Verbs in the Preterite

These Spanish sub plans can be carried out by any sub while you are out of the classroom. Even better, you won't have to feel guilty that your students aren't learning while you are gone! This set includes 5 full classes of art/culture lessons that are ready to print & go, require no technology, do not require the sub to produce any Spanish, and can be differentiated for any level of Spanish class. Each lesson walks students through the interpretation of a famous work of art by artists Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Joan Miró, Frida Kahlo, and Fernando Botero. Students will work step by step to interpret the art through a series of brainstorming, sorting and categorizing activities. Once they have recorded their own interpretation of the art, they will read a short excerpt that relates the piece of art to something cultural or historical from real life. They will then be asked to think about the art in that new context as they answer some thought provoking questions. Works of Art included in this lesson: -"Guernica" by Pablo Picasso -"Dream of a Sunday Afternoon at Alameda Park" by Diego Rivera -"Tree of Hope, Remain Strong" by Frida Kahlo -"Carnival of Harlequin" by Joan Miró -"Guerilla de Eliseo Velasquez" by Fernando Botero
