Description

We all have those days… the unit ended yesterday, break starts tomorrow, testing changed the schedule, or suddenly you need a sub plan.

This bundle gives you three flexible Spanish biography packets and nine engaging readings that you can pull out whenever you need meaningful Spanish input without starting a whole new unit.

Students will read about:

Young Inventors: Ann Makosinski, Dasia Taylor & Easton LaChappelle

People the World Almost Missed: Henrietta Lacks, Alice Ball & Rosalind Franklin

People Who Helped Others Feel Seen: Harvey Milk, Temple Grandin & Fred Rogers

Each packet gives you two ways to use the material.

Use the one-day Centers option when you need a complete stand-alone lesson between units, before a school break, after testing, at the end of a quarter, or anytime you have an extra class period.

Or use the 3-Day Flexible Learning Plans when your schedule gets interrupted by a planned absence, emergency sub day, testing, snow/e-learning, virtual instruction, or a student who will be out for several days.

The complete bundle includes:

• 9 Spanish-language biographies
• 3 one-day centers/literature circle lessons
• 3 sets of flexible 3-day learning plans
• Biography comprehension questions
• Answer keys
• Compare & Contrast activities
• Graphic organizers
• Essential questions and synthesis activities
• In-person lesson options
• Emergency sub plan options
• Asynchronous learning options
• Synchronous virtual learning options
• Options for students completing work during an extended absence

Because each packet follows a similar structure, students quickly get comfortable with the routine while the content stays fresh. Across the three sets, they’ll explore innovation, fairness, recognition, representation, empathy, perseverance, and the ways individuals can make a difference.

This bundle is a great one to keep on hand for intermediate Spanish reading comprehension, Spanish biography activities, Spanish centers, emergency sub plans, flexible learning, STEM readings, Women’s History Month, social justice topics, and all those awkward in-between days teachers know way too well.
