We left the book behind in favor of units that provide tons of input and opportunities to show what they KNOW not what we want them to practice until they know. The Somos curriculum by Martina Bex has been a life saver as I’ve transitioned to a new position and my colleague has taken the leap into CI for the first time! This is the scope and sequence we created for our ones at SCHS!

I began teaching Spanish in Illinois in 1994. I have taught levels 1-4 in a small rural high school, 8th grade introductory Spanish, Biology 1, and 101 and 102 at the community college level. My Spanish classes are partnered with the community college to offer students 8 semester hours of dual credit on completion of Spanish 4. In 2011 I met Carol Gaab and Kristy Placido and have since co-authored the book "La hija del sastre" with Carol Gaab and authored the novels "La Calaca Alegre" and "Bianca Nieves y los 7 toritos." through TPRS Publishing.
In 2006 I became National Board certified and I have been serving as a mentor both for candidates seeking certification in world languages other than English and a virtual mentor for candidates in all certificate areas.
I completed my Masters degree in Spanish education in 2011 and did my research on the use of Understanding by Design to create meaningful cultural units for the language classroom. I am a frequent presenter on this topic, please consider me if you are interested in a workshop on backward design.
In 2013 I was named the ICTFL Foreign Language teacher of the year and in 2014 I was selected as CSCTFL's teacher of the year. In November of 2014 I was lucky enough to be one of the five finalists for the ACTFL National Teacher of the Year in San Antonio, TX. What a "Cinderella" experience!

I am amazed by all that you cover in one year. While I use many of the same resources in middle school, I can only get through about half of this material.
Thank you for sharing these! They are VERY helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing these!
Do you get through all of these units in one year? Does Level I start in ninth grade? How long are your classes? How many preps do you have?
Hi! This is level one (open to 9-12). We have 48 minute classes 4 days per week and 42 the other day. I teach 2-4 and my colleague teaches 1-2. We do these units in one school year.
