Spanish Movie Vocabulary, Activities, and FREEBIES!

Looking for some funny, and modern movies to show in your Spanish classes?  If you haven't done it already, it's time to throw away all those VHS tapes from the 80's! ;) 

One great film to use is "Casi Casi" (2006)! Your students will love it! It is about a group of high school students in Puerto Rico so your kids will be able to relate to it. It is also a great opportunity to teach them more about Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rican culture. Another option is "Valentin", (2002).  It is a cute story told by a young boy in Argentina. It is a great film to show during a unit on childhood. 

Stop by Liz's Lessons Blog to find out more about these products, to pick up FREE word cloud activities for each film, and to watch the trailers of these movies.

WIDA Can-Do Classroom Template Freebie

Working with ELLs you know it can be difficult to keep track of their language proficiency in the different domains - listening, speaking, reading and writing.  Some kids are great speakers, but struggle with listening.  Others can read well, but struggle to write.  ELLs progress at different rates within the language domains.  


I'm sharing a template that allows you to keep track of you entire class of ELLs on one page.  You will be able to see where student X lies in each domain and compare him to student Y, while also refering to what they are able to do, and push them to the next level.


This can help you with grouping, differentiating, questioning, deciding accommodations, etc.  Previously I always had to use an Excel sheet or separate Can-Do descriptor pages.  Here you can see all of you students on one page.  


Here is an example: 

The freebie is  Word Document so you can make it look fancy and adjust it to fit your needs.
