Description
This AP Spanish Language and Culture curriculum meets 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 identidades personales y públicas, now called, “La lengua y la cultura.” 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 both SECOND and THIRD editions. Some lessons are based on the book Temas. Includes essay writing practice and grammar curriculum.The 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My AP Spanish class traditionally consists of mostly non-native students with a small number of heritage and native speakers. Therefore, the goal of this curriculum is to enable students to communicate with maximum proficiency in the language, i.e., to comprehend authentic spoken and written Spanish, to speak and write Spanish using advanced language and idiomatic expressions, and to pass the AP Spanish Test with high marks.
Many buyers have asked me if they could buy the AP Spanish Lesson Plans and Curriculum one theme at a time. In response to those requests, I have created lesson plans for each theme.
ABOUT ME:
I taught Spanish for 31 years.
During the five years that I taught AP Spanish, all of my students passed except one, mostly with 4s and 5s.
Several years ago, 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.
