This 12 slide powerpoint features 10 statements which ask students to decide if they are true or false. Click ahead, and it will tell you the answer and also give an explanation.
These are 10 things that a lot of students don't know, but they definitely should. Features common misconceptions about the Spanish language worldwide and in the US as well as about the people who speak Spanish.
This powerpoint should last a 50 minute class period. Some slides also include additional links in the "notes" section for more information.
Great lesson to talk about stereotypes and perceptions. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a person is called "Spanish" because they speak Spanish, which is something I hear a lot, not just from children, but from adults as well. The goal of this lesson is to put an end to ignorance and inform people about what reality is.

This is a great presentation! I'm and ESL teacher in Mexico and saw this and thought it would be great for even some colleagues back home! Especially the one about 5 de Mayo being Mexico's Independence Day!! I just wanted to comment on that particular slide in regards to Puebla being a town, it is a state. Another interesting tidbit, a fellow teacher of mine who is a Spanish teacher in the US once told me that her students that Spanish originated in Mexico. :-O
Once again, great work! :0)

You and I share a pet peeve, and I have a variant on this theme.
My parents were Cuban born, although I have lived in the United States my entire life, have no accent at all in English, and, as my mother's ancestors were French and German, I'm as light-skinned as most gringoes. I've had more than one student who didn't have me in class, marveling when I spoke Spanish, blurt out: "You speak Mexican!"
I just smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not Mexican. My parents were Cuban, a different country. And, even if I were Mexican, I wouldn't be speaking Mexican. Mexicans, like Cubans, speak Spanish." I try to be super-nice about it, in hopes that they made try Spanish in the future and because they're not being mean; they're just totally ignorant through no fault of their own. I did have one "convert" who thought it would be "cool" to be able to talk to the Mexican emigrants at her fast-food job!

Thank you! This seems to be a great activity to start the year, and to prove our students that they need to learn more. If you don't mind, I'd like to share it with other teachers in the State of Ohio (OFLA list serve). Please let me know if that's be OK! Thanks in advance.

Gracias por compartirlo.
FYI: Typo on 9th cierto/falso (easily fixed). "native native"... should read "native language", I believe

I'm not going to tell you my score, but I did learn a lot from your PowerPoint presentation. Your "10 Misconceptions About Spanish Language and Its Speakers" was the featured "Free Lesson of the Day" at "The Best of Teachers Pay Teachers."
Thanks for sharing this important lesson,
