Las familias y las comunidades Lesson Plans for AP Spanish

Description

AP Spanish Language and Culture Lesson Plans for Las familias y las comunidades curriculum meet all the Learning Objectives set forth by the College Board and is based upon the three modes of communication: “Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational” and one of the six themes, “Las familias y las comunidades.” All lesson plans are based on the EDI (Explicit Direct Instruction) model. Most lessons are based on the Vista Higher Learning AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam Preparation booklet for the SECOND and THIRD editions. Vocabulary and grammar curriculum included as well as novel study.

The AP lesson plans are based on a 90-minute instructional day for the block schedule but can be easily modified for a regular schedule and include extra lessons and activities.

UDPATE: This curriculum has been updated to align with the 2026–2027 CED. However, it does not include the AP Spanish Course Project Lesson Plans and Curriculum, which is required for use with this curriculum.

I recommend purchasing and teaching the thematic lesson plans in order, beginning with La vida contemporánea. The Course Project Lesson Plans are included with that theme at no additional cost, so you will not need to purchase them separately.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since I teach, “La vida contemporánea” first, in which students learn, step-by-step, how to master each part of the AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam, you must buy that theme first and then the others in order. Las familias y las comunidades is the fifth theme covered in the year-long lesson plans. Many of the AP Spanish PowerPoints for an Entire Year are included in this bundle, but not all.

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ DO NOT BUY THIS THEME FIRST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ABOUT ME:

I taught Spanish for 30 years.

During the five years that I taught AP Spanish, all of my students passed except one and that during my first year of teaching AP. The last year I taught AP, all my students passed the AP Spanish Test with mostly 5s and a few fours. The year before all passed with mostly fours and fives.

My principal nominated me for Teacher of the Year.

For my staff, I facilitated and presented a workshop on EDI (Explicit Direct Instruction) Lesson Planning. I also created and presented a workshop on Total Physical Response (TPR) storytelling, Strategies for Visual Learners, and other instructional strategies.

I worked as a Consulting Teacher for two years mentoring participating teachers on quality lesson planning, instructional strategies, engaging activities, TPR Storytelling, equity, and classroom management.

I wrote and facilitated numerous workshops for beginning and veteran teachers, in and outside of my district, on lesson planning, classroom management, instructional strategies, TPR Storytelling, How to Teach Grammar in the Target Language, Equity, Strategies for Visual Learners and more.

I am one of the top sellers in the High School Category.
