Ser vs Estar Read, Draw & Write Activities

This sequential 4 activity sets focuses on introducing students to the difference in usage between the Spanish verbs SER and ESTAR (to be).

This product includes the following activities;

1. Concept Attainment Activity - students cut and paste Spanish sentences onto cards explaining the different reasons for the usage of SER and ESTAR.

2. Read, Conjugate, Draw Activity - Students fill in blank sentences with correct forms of the verbs SER & ESTAR, then illustrate the meaning of each sentence to demonstrate comprehension.

3. Side-by-Side Writing Prompt - Students will read a brief story in Spanish about a boy named Pablo who has an evil twin (weird, I know, but they love this stuff). Using the original story as a model, they will change the information to talk about the evil twin and invent his character in Spanish.

4. Open-Ended Writing Prompts - This activity uses two visual images for support as students apply the knowledge they have gained to write their own paragraphs using the verbs SER and ESTAR appropriately.
