Do you have an anwer key?

School En Casa (TpT Seller) re: Trading Around the World
Is this activity only in English, or also in Spanish?
December 7, 2012
Maria Elena Morales (TpT Seller)
It could be done in English and/or Spanish. There is a World Map with pictures of items. The student needs to check where the products come from. I provide an answer key in English. However, the discussion of the topic could be in either language. Thanks!

Hi maria,
Just to let you know on page 7 of the Then and Now picture document, the "now" image next to the "then" of girls carrying water is distorted. I didn't want to leave this on the main board because other than that, it is a FANTASTIC document!

Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Alphabet Bingo Cards
Maria, I downloaded your freebie, but since there are no directions, I don't know what to do with it. Here are a few suggestions from a fellow TPT seller. First, create an eye-catching, colorful cover which can also be used as a thumbnail to entice buyers. It is much better than having a generic "W Doc" to represent your item. Also, always make the first written page your directions with how to play, what materials are needed, amount of time needed, etc. Never assume that a buyer knows how to use your product. You might go to the Seller's Forum and check out some of the threads under "Selling Tips" for good ideas from seasoned sellers. Good luck to you as you sell on TPT.

Maria Elena Morales (TpT Seller)
I appreciate your comment. It was my first product so I had no clue about how it should look like. I will make changes to the product and write suggestions o how I have been using it. Thanks again!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been a teacher for fifteen years. I taught almost all levels from elementary to higher education except middle school. At the elementary level, I have been a bilingual teacher for several school districts. I have also taught Spanish in high school and college. Now, I am a member of the University of North Texas Collaborative Region X for Science Teachers in order to improve scientific awareness in my district.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I have different teaching styles according to the subject and grade level. Students from low grade levels love to learn by discovering concepts through games or activities while students from upper grades are more involved in independent research or projects.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I graduated with Honors in Spanish Literature and I was a Magna Cum Laude student.
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Political Science in my home country and a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and minor in Education from Whitman College, WA. I pursued higher education in Spanish Literature receiving a Master's degree from the University of Kansas.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I strongly believe that biliteracy and bilingualism are necessary in today's world. The lack of bilingual resources several years ago forced me to create my own materials according to what I needed in the classroom. I am originally from Peru but I have lived for 22 years in this country. I have three beautiful children who are immersed in bilingual education. My own children suggested ideas and participated in the process of creation.
