Two-week Spanish units, built from the IPA back.
A full unit on this site means roughly ten instructional days, a three-mode IPA at the end, and authentic resources doing the heavy lifting from day one. No PowerPoints full of bullet-pointed grammar rules. The summative is decided first, the resources are picked second, and the daily lessons exist to get students ready to perform on day ten.
Las familias y las comunidades.
Twenty days of AP-aligned interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational work on tradición, educación, and the role of family across México, Argentina, and Spain.
La ciencia y la tecnología.
Twenty days of AP-aligned work on sustainability, social media, and nomofobia. Includes the conditional + imperfect subjunctive + si-clauses sequence and the campaña viral project.
Hispanic Heritage Month.
Five days of culturally rich, identity-centering activities. Famous figures, music, food, traditions. Built around student inquiry, not stereotype.
AP Spanish is the test that pretends to be a course.
IB Spanish B is a different animal from AP.
Most Spanish curriculum was built for the kid whose first encounter with the language is your classroom.
Every Spanish teacher hits the morning when the kid is throwing up at 5:30am and you have not even thought about what period 1 is going to do.
