Authentic resources for your school unit!

The transition to middle school has not been easy but I'm back with some great authentic resources that would work for any novice learner from 3rd grade on up. 


First up is the chain of private schools in Chile. Each school has a virtual tour and a fantastic Información Práctica page that includes school supply lists, schedules, lunch menus, and uniforms. I actually had my 7th graders look at these and then create their own Información Práctica page for our school in Spanish as their final project for this unit. 

These tours were great for learning places in school


These schedules were great for practicing subjects, time, and comparing & contrasting

This Instagram page for a school in Colombia has some great posts - there are students talking about their favorite subject and one that would be great for adjectives. 






This reel is a great opener or review of school supplies. 


This one from Tang Venezuela is kinda weird but fun - it tells you what flavor tang goes with your favorite subject. 


Same idea but with sneakers. I think next year I will have students come up with their own versions of these posts. 




That's all for now - If you have authentic resources related to school share in the comments below!
