Ferdinando el toro... online version

I am so thankful for having the Fluency Matters e-courses! In Spanish 2, we are just finishing El Ekeko this week. My students have been getting lots of CI with the text of the book, the audio of the book, and the quizzes. Usually, I read to my students in a Google Meet and then they do the quizzes on that same day. The next day, they do some sort of activity related to what they read. 

I am starting the Fluency Matters e-course Bianca Nieves y los siete toritos in Spanish 2 next week. I always love to start with the original Disney short of Ferdinand the bull (link here):

 

So I have adapted my resources for online learning and I am sharing in case anyone else can use them:

• Gimkit or Quizlet Live
• Slideshow
• Slideshow as a Pear Deck 
• Edpuzzle with slideshow
• Textivate with key structures
• Textivate with the story text and questions (might be a bit much!)
• Edpuzzle with original video and text of story

Oldie but goodie for ONLINE Canción/Cuento de la Semana: Puebla

I created a unit with that song as the base and I am so looking forward to using it next year. There are lots of excellent authentic resources related to a legend and food in there, but for now, I am sharing because there are parts of the unit that could be used for online learning.

Here are the resources that could be used online:

• Intro some vocabulario y estructuras importantes with this Gimkit. Make it an assignment and set it for a maximum of ten minutes.
• Listen and Draw - I would create a video of me showing the text of the story (page 7 here) and reading it to them. Students illustrate the story.
• Watch the video, listen to the song and do the cloze activity (page 19 here).
• Try to sing the song! Do that during the entire week.
• Read the story again with this Textivate.
• Do this Edpuzzle to learn about Álvaro Soler.
• Do Quizlet Live (individual) with this Quizlet set (matching sentence chunks) or make it another Gimkit.
• Do this Quizizz with comprehension questions to review the story.
• Use the cierto/falso sentences on pages 17-18 here and make a Google Form.
• Do this Edpuzzle to review the story and watch the video.

Costa Rica Eduzzles

I am starting the Fluency Matters e-course Bananas this week with my students (we still have seven weeks left of school!).

The book is set in Costa Rica and whenever I use a book, I like to give students lots of visuals of the country. And, of course, I like to teach them a bit about the food (always a good hook!).

So, I made the Edpuzzles below to give students so they can see what the country looks like. They are a pretty "touristy" and have English subtitles, but I think they will be good.

I am sharing here in case anyone else can use them. They could also work if you use Robo en la noche or Noche de oro.

Costa Rica Edpuzzles:

• 🇨🇷 Qué hacer en COSTA RICA
• 🇨🇷 Qué ver en COSTA RICA. Los mejores parques naturales
• 🇨🇷 Qué ver en SAN JOSÉ capital de Costa Rica
• Comida de Costa Rica | Comida Típica Costarricense | Cocina Costarricense de todas las region
