Putting up Spanish language signs around your school is a great way to help not only the current students in your program, but also to promote your language to other students. Many of you may teach in schools with some students that ONLY speak Spanish and this is a great way to support their acquisition of English too! This set of forty-five easy to read signs will allow you to label all of the most important places in and outside of your school building. There are a wide variety of signs to fit the needs of both primary and secondary teachers. Each sign promotes the language with a "Learn Spanish" header so that students are aware that they are looking at words in Spanish. Also included on each sign is the Spanish word for a location in the school and the English Equivalent. Many of the signs include multiple versions in case you have a preference for certain words or terms when there are several. If you don't want to place the signs yourself, having your level 2 or 3 students review the places in the school by placing the signs themselves is a great beginning of the school year activity.

This activity goes along with the song "Eres Mía" by Romeo Santos (formerly of Aventura) which is readily available on YouTube and iTunes. Students will watch the music video and complete an anticipation guy prior to seeing the lyrics in Spanish. Then, students will listen to the song a couple of times to complete the missing lyrics in a clozeline activity. Afterwards, students will be asked to identify certain lyrics of the song given their English meanings and manipulate those lyrics using their knowledge of the verb SER (present tense). Finally, students will complete a writing activity to describe the main characters in the song/video, synthesizing what they have learned and producing comprehensible output. These activities align with the ACTFL interpretive listening, interpretive reading, and presentational writing goals. Included in this download; 1. Educator's Guide 2. Artist Biography (en español) 3. Copy of song lyrics with key words removed (Clozeline activity) 4. Lyric Identification Activity 5. Lyric Manipulation Activity 6. Writing Activity 7.

These 4 activities will give beginning Spanish students an understanding of cognates and false cognates. In addition to learning about cognates, these activities will help students build skills like pattern recognition, logic, deductive reasoning and problem-solving. These skills are crucial to second language study. In the first activity, students sort cognates according to their endings and use their observations to make "rules" that apply to many of the most common Spanish-English cognates (oso = ous as in famoso, dad = ty as in universidad). In the second activity, they use the rules that they developed to write the Spanish versions of English words like precious (precioso) or fabulous (fabuloso). The third activity introduces students to 12 false cognates, then asks them to consider whether they are being used in the correct context when inserted in some English sentences. The final activity asks them to use what they have learned to decode some basic reading passages that are filled with cognates and answer some questions in English based on what they read. This Product Includes: -Cognate Sorting Activity -Cognate Writing Activity -False Cognate Activity -Reading Activity -Answer Keys for all Activities
