"A different language is a different vision of life." Frederico Fellini

Let's learn Spanish! In this class, we will learn the basics of Spanish. We will learn greetings, introductions, days of the  week, colors, numbers and how to say "I like" in Spanish. The teacher will share slideshows with vocabulary. Students will be able to hear the pronunciation of words, as well as  see  images to help them remember the vocabulary. 

Students will  use  Google Slide, Jamboard and FlipGrid for interactive learning. Assignments will be shared on the Outschool Classroom page. Students might be prompted to make a copy of the material. They will have to post a copy or email me a copy of anything that they have to turn in, except for Flip. Flip will allow students to record themselves speaking Spanish in a  Flip group made just for this class. Only the students in this group will have access to the Flip group. Students will be required  to interact by sharing video posts with  the class. For example, students will have to introduce themselves in a Flip video and other students will be able to respond or comment on their videos. They might also have to share an activity that could help others learn the vocabulary introduced in the lesson. Students will be able to respond to other student's FlipGrid videos and ask questions to each other. Students might be asked to share what their favorite color is in Spanish, or how many pets. They will also be encouraged to ask  each other questions in Spanish through the videos. The great thing about Flip is that students can choose to record only their voice or an actual video. You can also record a video without including your face. You can add  stickers and effects to a background of your choosing. 

FlipGrid will allow students to independently learn and practice Spanish.  Every week, students will create a short audio or video of themselves practicing that week's vocabulary. Students will be expected to watch the videos that classmates post and post a friendly reply on a each other's video. I will also leave feedback on each video that is posted and assist with pronunciation as needed.

Students will also be able to play games like Blooket (similar to Kahoots), Genially (I create a video game and share the link for students to play it), or interacty (again, I create a game and they get the link to play) to review written Vocabulary.

Learning Chocolate is another great site for them to use to practice the vocabulary.

This class is a FLEX class and therefore there are no live or in person meetings. However, I will be available through the Outschool classroom or private teacher messages through Outschool if needed.
