Spanish Reader's Theater--Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood)

Created by

Senora Dominguez

Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes. Little Red Riding Hood is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are

Looking for a thoughtful, quick, and creative close reading lesson for Valentine's Day that covers several standards for your middle or high school students? I love to bring holiday themed lessons in when I can, but I am always very cautious to choose lessons that are standards-based. This mini-lesson meets both requirements perfectly! Student Experience: Students exercise summarizing and close reading skills as they read the article about a couple whose love brought them back together after s

Nationalism Project: Create your own country.

Created by

Mrs J West

I use this project for my Nationalism unit. In the unit the students learn about the unification of Italy and Germany. As they create their country and write their nations history, they are instructed to follow the same basic historical foundation as either Italy or Germany. If your students don't learn the specifics of these two countries, it's okay! It can be edited and they can creatively write their nation's history however you'd like.

This set of comprehension questions and discussion questions accompanies the film "Stand and Deliver." Students LOVE this movie and it is a great way to open dialogue about discrimination. This is great for use in a Spanish or social studies classroom, with Hispanic students in another classroom setting, or any group of students that could benefit from conversations about discrimination and ways to overcome it. Math teachers could also use this film for inspiration for students! High schoo
