The ACTFL website also provides examples of lesson plans and gives the user access to academic journals and studies regarding language learning. Professor Jason Videos
These YouTube videos are a great resource for anything related to Spanish Grammar. If you are having a hard time understanding a grammar concept that we went over in class, these videos can help. Professor Jason takes you step by step through each process, giving examples of how these grammar rules are used. Word Reference Dictionary
This is an online Spanish-English Dictionary. Not only does it translate word for word, but it takes your given word and includes it in several example sentences so you can decide which Spanish equivalent of that word you want based on the context you are trying to put it in. Qué Onda Spanish
This website is a place to start taking online Spanish lessons for free. It offers lessons at all different levels and breaks down each lesson my content. There are even separate lessons you can take to learn Spanish specifically relating to business or medical professions. Mukilteo School District
This website provides information on MSD. It provides a list of all the schools in the district and gives links to each one of their websites. It also provides the most up-to-date information on events going on in the district and community. The MSD website is also a great place to get to know your Board of Education and the individuals who help run the district. Mis Cositas
This website is geared more specifically toward Spanish teachers, but could be used by anyone. It provides lesson plans, teaching materials, and instructional videos. The best part about this website is that it provides examples of realia (real menus, plane tickets, fliers, etc.) from Spanish speaking communities so that students can practice seeing how Spanish is used in the real world. |
