The Spanish Teacher's Resource Book: Lesson Plans, Exercises, and Solutions for First Year Spanish Class - Paperback

by Stephen Jackson (Author)

This book is written for middle and high school Spanish teachers. Its subject matter covers material normally taught in first year Spanish class. The book is divided into 10 parts. There are 31 lessons each one preceded by its objective, its method of accomplishment, and its outcome. Most of the 40 exercises have 20 or more items. Each exercise is accompanied by its solution. The modular design of each lesson enables it to stand on its own so you can easily fit it into your teaching schedule and carriculum insted of the other way around. This structure also makes it ideally suited for review. My unique 3-step approach to conjugating regular verbs, enables the student to easily grasp the mechanics of the operation, and, when necessary, enables her/him to diagnose and correct errors. You will find a verb bank of regular verbs, a verb bank of reflexive verbs, ample listings of stem-changing verbs, a listing of popular activities, a pronunciation guide to high frequency words, and two appendices.
