Help! I just bought this how do I open it without purchasing a $39 unzipping file?
May 20, 2013 Report inappropriate comment
sparkenthusiasm
sparkenthusiasm  (TpT Seller)
You do not need to purchase an unzipping file. If you are using windows, windows software has a built in zip file opener.

Right click on the zip file, click extract all, select a location to send the files, hit extract.

If you cannot get them opened, contact TPT (they know how to operate all computer systems) or email us at sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com and we will troubleshoot from there.

Hi Ladies,
I just recently discovered TpT and have been exploring the site---you have great products. Took the plunge and bought my first product ---your Spanish Sports flashcards. Looking forward to using them, though arrived in PDF format, so hopefully I can save as PPT and cut out all the sports that we don't cover. :)

The PPT is not included in that product. The original PPT is available at our store including animation and sound. It is a great way to introduce/review sports vocabulary.

I would not show it to 8th grade Spanish 2 students. Cautiva is more appropriate for juniors or seniors in high school. For 8th grade students, I would recommend Goal! The Impossible Dream, La Misma Luna, and Viva Cuba.

I teach Spanish to 6th grade middle schoolers. Would a packet this in-depth be beneficial or would your product for multiple culture movies work better?

sparkenthusiasm  (TpT Seller)
Depends on your goal. How many movies do you want to show? If you only want to show one movie, then La Misma Luna is fantastic! There are so many various activities and a lot of great cultural information included in this packet. If you plan to show multiple movies, then the packet for multiple movies would be great, too. However, we highly recommend them both. :o)

I am not sure. Generally you want to save a copy (or picture) in a pdf because if you try to put it in a document it generally messes up the formatting. I would try re-downloading the file from TPT (which you can do for free) to see if it will then allow you to save it as something different. I would also try the support on TPT, they generally know how to open every file in every program. Let us know if this works and if you need any additional assistance from us. sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com

You should have a program to extract the files on your computer to open it. We use zip files so we are able to include many files in one product. Here is advice from my tech friends on the web:
All you have to do is double click on the file, then on the side after you open it, it says:

Then extract it, so you can open files from there.

The vocabulary is in Spanish/English, all Spanish and all English so it can be used in all levels. I hope that helps you with your decision whether to buy. This movie is such as great film.

Hola! I just purchase your speaking game, "El Gato". It seems like it will be fun. I am just trying to make sense of it. I'm just curious as to why you have both students mark their boards, when just one student answers correctly? Is this simply to encourage cooperative learning? Maybe I am not understanding something but it seems to me, the both students will win at the same time every round if they play this way?? Or am I just not getting it! Please help! :)Also, I emailed you another question about 11 days ago: Where is the best place to obtain a copy of the movie, The Princess and the Barrio Boy?" Mil gracias por tu ayuda!

Hello, Jennifer! Thank you for your purchase! El Gato is similar to Tic Tac Toe. If student X answers correctly for #5, both students place an X in the #5 box. Now student X owns that box. Then, student O chooses to try to answer a different question such as #3. If student O answers number 3 correctly, both students put an O there, and student O owns that box. Please email me at sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com if this still does not make sense. Have fun!

The questions are all linked with hyperlinks that will always take you back to the main game board as long as you are in show mode. If you can email me more specific questions to sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com I will be more than happy to help in any way that I can. :o)

Hi,
I just purchased your all Spain unit, and it says it corresponds with power point slides. Is the power point a separate purchase? If so, which one is it? Thanks.

Thank you for purchasing the Spain unit, Samantha. Yes, the Spain Power Point goes along with the unit you already purchased. Here is the link.

I am not quite sure why you are unable to open the file. I would definitely contact Paul at TPT and ask his advice, but I will send you the file right now! Please let me know if you have any further problems!

Hello, I am new to TPT and I see you girls are some of the best. Do you have any tips for a new teacher on this site? Should I pay the yearly subscription?

Welcome to TPT! If you plan to post many products and you feel they are good, I think it is worth it to pay the yearly subscription. All the best!

Yes, there are double and final Jeopardy. We have the first student in each row keep score, no auto scoring. The game was made with Powerpoint 2003 on a PC, so not sure if it is Mac compatible.

On some computers, it may be necessary to hit save instead of just open when you download a file. Please try that, and if it still is not working for you, please contact us at sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com, and we will email you the file(s) you need.

I'm interested in some powerpoints, but particularly the family vocab one. Can I edit it or is it read-only?

All of our power points can be edited. Please let us know how your lessons go if you decide to purchase any of the power points.
All the best!

Hola. All of the slides are in English on the English version of the ppt. The teacher script, which has tons of additional information the teacher can share with students, is in English and in Spanish, also. There are both basic crosswords in addition to the advanced crosswords with this unit. Please email me at sparkenthusiasm@gmail.com if you need further assistance. By the way, there is a free Quinceanera ppt and a free Cinco de mayo ppt on this site as well as on our site in English.
