This is a great resource sheet for students. It has rules and examples for determining noun gender in Spanish. Beyond the simple "o" and "a" ending, knowing the gender of a Spanish noun can be tricky. This resource gives examples such as "dad", "tud", "cion" endings as well as words that change meaning with a gender change (i.e. papa). Students will refer to this sheet regularly when writing and speaking.

I have been teaching World Language (French, Spanish, Italian) for 15 years. I spent my first 4 years out of college teaching middle and high school French and Italian before moving on to a Charter School where I taught French for 6 years. I have spent the last 5 years teaching elementary and middle school French and Spanish. I regularly present foreign language teaching methodology workshops at state, regional and national conferences and in teacher preparation programs at various universities.
