My Favorite Projects

On this page, I have posted a few lesson plans/projects that I have done in my classroom that have been successful in helping my students stay motivated throughout the year. If you would like specifics on a project including: project outlines, grading rubrics, or student work samples, please feel free to contact me.

Students embrace the concept of  El día de los muertos by creating a shoebox memorial in memory of a famous person who has passed away.  

Mi casa ideal (My ideal home)-Level 1

In a unit on Spain, students describe and discuss architecture from Barcelona and  complete a thematic unit on the features and furniture of a home and chores.  Students  are required to create a poster-sized drawing or diagram of their dream home and make an oral presentation describing the home and any special features as well as describing what chores they would have to do to maintain it. 

Latino Magazine Cover-Level 1 or 2

Students demonstrate knowledge of Spanish culture and grammar and their ability to create publications using a program such a Microsoft Publisher to create a cover for a Latino Magazine featuring a famous Latino/Latina actor, athlete, musician, writer, television personality, singer, etc. 

Spanish Board Game Project-Level 1 or 2

Students demonstrate knowledge of Spanish grammar and their ability to work well with others in a group by creating a game concept and gameboard that is completely in Spanish and is engaging and interesting and appeals to players of different ages and backgrounds.

What I did last summer-Level 2

Students demonstrate knowledge of the preterit and/or imperfect “past” tenses and their ability to be creative by creating a storyboard that describes what they did last summer using the publishing program of their choice (i.e. Comic Life, Microsoft Publisher)
