This is a combination of two things: a powerpoint presentation on the Mayas and Chicen Itza (which can be purchased separately for $4) and an accompanying worksheet. The ppt has original photos of the city along with brief descriptions of the key structures. The worksheet is a simple ten question guide to use in order to highlight key points for the students.

This power point is a 20+ slide presentation of Chichen Itza. It is complete with original photographs taken during a recent trip, a brief history of the people and succinct descriptions of the most important structures there. It is a great way to introduce a unit on the Mayas or bring in a bit of culture (and exposure) during a history, geography and/or Spanish class.

Here is a free page from my fall packet--a Dia de los Muertos wordsearch.

Students who are learning new vocabulary are making associations. This is how they make sense of words in their surroundings...by connecting them to schemata. This activity is created to ask students to group words, identify the word that doesn't belong and explain why. It turns this important mental activity into a written activity, requiring students to use metacognition. The topics vary from geography to Spanish numbers to cognates and beyond.

Ever struggle to engage your students in an activity where they dialogue in Spanish with each other? Here is a lesson plan and necessary handouts for a class session of human bingo/loteria humana.

This product is a simple slideshow of images from Prague in the Czech Republic. It can be used to give students a glimpse of the city when you are studying anything Prague related. You are also welcome to use the images as clipart, as long as you publish it with credits.

This item has printable black and white checker boards and game pieces. The teacher writes Spanish vocabulary words on the white squares. Students must translate the word on the square they want to move to before they are allowed to move. When I used it in my classroom, I always put verbs on the squares to practice conjugation. Students found it very engaging and calming to focus on a game that required them to use both their Spanish skills and logic/strategy smarts.

This is a simple conjugation chart and bingo card. It is an easy and fun way to practice conjugation.
