Take a sneak peek at one of my Spanish classes
I make learning a foreign language fun for my students. Watch the video below as students from the Conversational Spanish 1 class participate in the Story Builder activity.
They work together as a group to form a long sentence in Spanish using vocabulary they've learned in class. Students enjoy this activity because they like to challenge themselves to see how long of a sentence they can put together.
