Lake Washington School District: Spanish 1 Curriculum
(View Complete Item Description)Course DesignThis communicative Spanish 1 course is designed for middle and high school students as a year-long course with 4 units. Each unit is meant to last about 1 quarter or 8-10 weeks. Units are thematic and aligned to AP World Languages themes. Units were designed using a backwards planning model (Understanding by Design, McTighe & Wiggins, 2005), first considering unit goals and essential questions, then performance assessments, then core learning experiences and resources. All or most World Language Standards are braided throughout each unit. Units are vertically designed and build on one another. They are meant to be taught in the order presented. Lake Washington School District teachers collaborated closely with Laura Terrill, French teacher and curriculum design expert. These units and templates are built off the principles and examples in the Keys to Planning for Learning: Effective Curriculum, Unit, and Lesson Design, by Clementi & Terrill (2017). We highly recommend referring to the Keys to Planning for Learning book, available through ACTFL, for more learning and deeper understanding of the intent and pedagogical underpinnings of this curriculum. Pedagogy and Teaching MethodsThe power of these units lie in their design around ACTFL's Guiding Principles. All units are designed to be taught 90%+ of the time in the Target Language (TL) using comprehensible input strategies. Core Resource Activity Guides outline suggested methods and activities for making content comprehensible in the TL. For more ideas on strategies we recommend these resources:Common Ground: Second Language Acquisition Theory Goes to the Classroom (Henshaw & Hawkins, 2022)Enacting the Work of Language Instruction (Glisan & Donato, 2017)

La Rutina Diaria y el Planeta: Los Plásticos
(View Complete Item Description)SYNOPSIS: This lesson explores ways to reduce carbon emissions through the reduction of disposable plastics in daily routines. SCIENTIST NOTES: We have a problem with plastics; they are everywhere. And they are bad for the climate and our health. This lesson shows how some countries are trying to reduce the use of plastics. This lesson passed our scientific review process. Tenemos un problema con los plásticos; están por todas partes. Y son malos para el clima y nuestra salud. Esta lección muestra cómo algunos países están tratando de reducir el uso de plásticos. Esta lección pasó nuestro proceso de revisión científica. POSITIVES: -This lesson can easily be integrated into a unit on daily routines, the environment, or the present tense. -Students are exposed to ways that Latin American countries are leading the way in solving the plastics problem. -The lesson engages students with two games, Quizlet live and Kahoot. -The vocabulary related to plastic items is scaffolded so that students can independently navigate the Spanish-language websites and complete the final project with confidence. ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES: -The activities presume novice-high Spanish-language proficiency. -Students should be familiar with reflexive verbs in the present tense, verbs like gustar to express opinions, and daily routine vocabulary. -To prepare to teach this lesson, teachers can learn about plastics and recycling. -This NPR/Frontline report from 2020 and this in-depth Greenpeace España report analyze the limits of recycling as a solution to the plastic problem. -Bioplastics are made from natural ingredients such as corn. This flier, produced by Break Free From Plastic, provides data about the drawbacks of this solution. DIFFERENTIATION: -The lesson can be shortened by eliminating the vocabulary activities in the Inquire section or eliminating either Parte 1 or Parte 2 in the Inspire section. -The lesson can be extended for advanced students by including supplemental reading and listening activities. -Students can explore the 2024 international treaty on plastics using this summary in Spanish of the 22 foundational points. -This RTVE report "La Unión Europea dice adiós al plástico de un solo uso" includes text and a short video. -Recicladores de base are an important part of the recycling process in many countries.
