I created this set of writing papers to be used with our weekly Spanish dictation "El Dictado."
We focus on our dictation for 4 days (can be stretched to 5). There is a student writing paper for each day.
Day 1: The teacher dictates and the students write what they hear. The teacher projects (or writes on the board) the full correct dictado, going over any new spelling, punctuation, and/or grammar rules. The students correct their dictado with pen, and then re-write it correctly underneath.
This is a large group/whole class "I have... Who has...?" with landforms, biomes, and bodies of water.
There are a total of 18 cards, including the following vocabulary:
*volcano
*waterfall
*forest
*swamp
*plateau
*ocean
*mountain
*archipelago
*delta
*valley
*desert
*hills
*island
*lake
*peninsula
*plain
*river
Students have to listen to the description given by their peers to decide if it matches the landform on their card.
Card order and instructions also included
Enjoy!
