Blog postWow, the skits in this book are...weird.
Okay, at long last, I have created the packs of lesson materials for both of my older 2005 Middle School Spanish 1 books.
I confess, I have not looked at these skits for years. Years and years. So as I was going through each page creating the products for TPT, I got the pleasure--if that's the right word?--of reacquainting myself with my "masterpieces" contained in these older books.

Life of a high school teacher:
Mondays are hard. In class, it's like turning a rusty crank...students are tired and unmotivated, and not in the mood.
Tuesdays classes go a little better, but you expended a lot of energy yesterday getting that crank going, so Tuesdays aren't necessarily a rest and recoup day either.
Wednesdays require more energy, and you find yourself looking at the3 years ago Read more -

Blog postHi everyone! Well, after getting really bogged down trying to create an ebook (and a print book) with the umpteen jillion individual documents that are in my updated Spanish 1A 2017 files, I changed my mind (again) and decided to just go ahead and offer the lessons as a bundle instead.It's August and I'm just too busy to make ebooks and paperbacks right now (I'm sure you can relate...)

Blog postAll right. Enough of this spending hours trying to make pre-animated people look like they are doing something besides just standing there waving at you. I decided to just try narrating my story with my own stick figure drawings and this little video is what I came up with. (And yes, I AM a big dork, as you will see and hear for yourself!)

I'll be honest with you guys, when this school year started I was already exhausted from the two weeks of training plus the summer's farm adventures gone wrong.

Titles By Jalen Waltman
$7.99
Jalen Waltman's English Version 1A is for first semester middle school level 1 English as a Foreign Language, and 1B is for second semester middle school level 1 English as a Foreign Language.
These books are an English translation of my original 2005 Spanish 1 lesson plans (written for level 1 middle school Spanish,) with all the skits, quizzes, tests, and activities in English (so the first skit is “The Baby” instead of “El bebé.” The lessons can be used for teaching English as a foreign/second language, or as a resource for teachers of languages other than Spanish (Chinese, German, etc.) who would just like some good skits to translate and use in their classes.
These books have a lot more stick figure drawings because the quizzes and tests had to be modified to match English word to picture, rather than English to Spanish. Other than that, they follow the exact format and include everything that’s in my older 2005 Spanish lesson plan books. I sell them mostly to people who are teaching English as a Foreign (or Second) Language, here in the US as well as overseas.
The lessons are designed to get students speaking and writing basic English with enthusiasm and confidence by the end of the first semester, primarily by acquiring vocab sets with skits and readings. Included are lessons on basic greetings and introductions, descriptions of people, subject and object pronouns, and basic verbs like to have, to be, and to go. Vocab sets are taught with TPR and skits and reinforced with page-long English readings. By the end of these level 1 lessons, most students should be writing 100-word 10-minute narrative English essays with no dictionary help as well as narrating simple English stories by looking at stick figure drawings and describing what’s going on, also with no dictionary help.
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long English readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, graphic organizers, writing activities, cooperative learning activities, a 9 weeks’ test, and a final exam. These lessons are designed so that once you have your copies made, you can just flip the pages and teach. All masters are included and ready to copy, including sub plans.

Jalen Waltman's Complete Spanish Lesson Plans Spanish 2A: First Semester Level 2 High School Spanish
Jun 14, 2018
$9.99
My Spanish 2A lessons are for first semester level 2 high school Spanish, and 2B is for second semester level 2 high school Spanish.
My focus in level 2 is to build on students’ fluency and vocab from my level 1 books, reinforce present tense as much as possible, and teach the preterit and imperfect. Vocab sets in my level 2 books are taught with TPR and daily skits, then reinforced with page-long Spanish readings that recycle the content from the skit. My 2A has very long vocab lists (such as professions, places around town, etc.) taken from textbook-aligned vocab lists, most of which I teach with TPR (either with motions, visuals, or both,) and then I focus more deeply on some of that vocab for the skit and reading. The first half of my 2A is a review of present tense from my level 1 books, so the skits and readings are in present tense for the first 15 lessons; the second half of 2A introduces past tense in the readings only. 2B features a greatly reduced new-vocab load so that I can focus more fully on the preterit and imperfect (and all the skits and readings are in past tense.)
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, graphic organizers, cooperative learning activities, writing activities, grammar topics (you use your own textbook or grammar workbook worksheets to go with the topic) and grammar homework assignments, two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam.

Jalen Waltman's original Spanish 1A and 1B 2005 Version books were written for middle school level 1 Spanish; 1A is for first semester middle school level 1 and 1B is for second semester middle school level 1.
These were the first Spanish 1 lesson plan books I wrote, while I was teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish at the middle school level. The vocabulary list is shorter and more simplified than my newer high school Spanish 1 books and is loosely based on the old Dime Uno textbooks published by McDougal Littell in the 90’s. The skits are more geared for middle school students sense of humor, with fewer dating/jobs/cars stories than my newer 2009 Spanish 1 books (which include completely new skits, none repeated from these 2005 books.)
These older books are more “homemade” and include more hand-drawn pages and activities than my newer stuff, but the skits, games, and other activities still get rave reviews so I’m still selling them. If you’re teaching middle school and you need lessons that don’t repeat the skits for Spanish 1 at the high school level, then these books are a good bet.

The lessons are designed to get students speaking and writing basic Spanish with enthusiasm and confidence by the end of the first semester, primarily by acquiring vocab sets with skits and readings. Included are lessons on basic greetings and introductions, descriptions of people, subject and object pronouns, and basic verbs like tener, ser, estar, and ir. Vocab sets are taught with TPR and skits and reinforced with page-long Spanish readings. By the end of these level 1 lessons, most students should be writing 100-word 10-minute narrative Spanish essays with no dictionary help as well as narrating simple Spanish stories by looking at stick figure drawings and describing what’s going on, also with no dictionary help.
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, graphic organizers, writing activities, cooperative learning activities, a 9 weeks’ test, and a final exam. These lessons are designed so that once you have your copies made, you can just flip the pages and teach. All masters are included and ready to copy, including sub plans.

These were the first Spanish 1 lesson plan books I wrote, while I was teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish at the middle school level. The vocabulary list is shorter and more simplified than my newer high school Spanish 1 books and is loosely based on the old Dime Uno textbooks published by McDougal Littell in the 90’s. The skits are more geared for middle school students sense of humor, with fewer dating/jobs/cars stories than my newer 2009 Spanish 1 books (which include completely new skits, none repeated from these 2005 books.)

$9.99
Jalen Waltman's Spanish 1A and 1B 2009 Version books were written for high school level 1 Spanish; 1A is for first semester level 1 and 1B is for second semester level 1.
At level 1, the lessons are designed to get students speaking and writing Spanish with enthusiasm and confidence by the end of the first semester, primarily by acquiring vocab sets with skits and readings. Spanish 1B expands on the vocab in 1A, using textbook-aligned vocab lists and grammar topics, such as descriptions of people, directional words, chores, rooms and things in the house, food, ordering in restaurants and reacting to food, extended family words, town and city words, clothing, staying in shape and being healthy, and getting ready words. The grammar includes an extension of basic verbs like poder, llevar, ganar, vender, encontrar, costar, probar, and reflexive verbs like ponerse los zapatos, peinarse, etc. Vocab sets are taught with TPR and skits and reinforced with page-long Spanish readings. By the end of these level 1 lessons, most students should be writing 100-word 10-minute narrative Spanish essays with no dictionary help as well as narrating simple Spanish stories by looking at stick figure drawings and describing what’s going on, also with no dictionary help.
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, graphic organizers, writing activities, cooperative learning activities, grammar topics (you find and use your own textbook, workbook, or online worksheets to go with the topic,) and two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam. These lessons are designed so that once you have your copies made, you can just flip the pages and teach. All masters are included and ready to copy, including sub plans.

Jalen Waltman's Complete Spanish Lesson Plans Spanish 2B: Second Semester Level 2 High School Spanish
Jun 24, 2018
$9.99
My Spanish 2A lessons are for first semester level 2 high school Spanish, and 2B is for second semester level 2 high school Spanish.
My focus in level 2 is to build on students’ fluency and vocab from my level 1 books, reinforce present tense as much as possible, and teach the preterit and imperfect. Vocab sets in my level 2 books are taught with TPR and daily skits, then reinforced with page-long Spanish readings that recycle the content from the skit. My 2A has very long vocab lists (such as professions, places around town, etc.) taken from textbook-aligned vocab lists, most of which I teach with TPR (either with motions, visuals, or both,) and then I focus more deeply on some of that vocab for the skit and reading. The first half of my 2A is a review of present tense from my level 1 books, so the skits and readings are in present tense for the first 15 lessons; the second half of 2A introduces past tense in the readings only. My Spanish 2B book features a greatly reduced new-vocab load so that I can focus more fully on the preterit and imperfect (and all the skits and readings are in past tense in this Spanish 2B book.)
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, graphic organizers, cooperative learning activities, writing activities, grammar topics (you use your own textbook or grammar workbook worksheets to go with the topic) and grammar homework assignments, two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam.

Jalen Waltman's Complete Spanish Lesson Plans Spanish 4A: First Semester Level 4 High School Spanish
Jul 2, 2018
$9.99
Spanish 4A is for first semester level 4 high school Spanish, and 4B is for second semester level 4 high school Spanish.
For my Spanish 4A & 4B lesson plans, I used vocabulary from a few different AP vocab lists so that Spanish 4 could be an AP-prep class between Spanish 3 and AP Spanish. The vocab is presented and taught via skits and readings just like my other lesson plan books levels 1 – 3, but my Spanish 4 alternates these vocab + skit lessons with culture + Spanish conversation-and-discussion lessons that are aligned with four AP Spanish Language and Culture themes and center on a focus country for that theme. In 4A the themes are: Contemporary Life/Argentina, and Families and Communities/Puerto Rico, and in 4B the themes are: World Challenges/El Salvador, and Beauty and Aesthetics/México.)
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester for students, a grammar topics list by semester for students, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, culture topics and questions (with links to websites and videos) for class discussion with accompanying authentic readings, graphic organizers, and writing activities, grammar topics (you use your own textbook or grammar book worksheets to go with the topic) and grammar homework assignments, two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam (plus practice tests for each.)

Jalen Waltman's Complete Spanish Lesson Plans Spanish 3B: Second Semester Level 3 High School Spanish
Jul 2, 2018
$9.99
My Spanish 3A is for first semester level 3 high school Spanish, and 3B is for second semester level 3 high school Spanish.
My focus in Spanish 3 is to get students speaking Spanish more conversationally, so each lesson includes a daily guided conversation topic (question) for partners and/or groups to discuss. I also want to get them started doing more expository Spanish writing, so 3A contains 6 “journal prompts” on topics such as school plans and friendships, and 3B has 4 journal prompts on topics such as art and the environment. At this level, I definitely want to start preparing students more explicitly for the speaking and writing demands of AP Spanish Language and Culture should they choose to go that far in our program.
My Spanish 3A and B lessons teach sets of vocab strings with skits just like levels 1 and 2 do, and include a pretty heavy load of grammar topics. 3A reviews pronouns, present tense, ser and estar, preterit and imperfect, and present progressive; it introduces present subjunctive, future, and conditional, past progressive, and present perfect. 3B introduces past perfect, reviews and digs a little deeper into preterit and imperfect as well as the present subjunctive, then reviews future and conditional, and if you and your students are up for it, ends with past subjunctive. (I sometimes don’t get that far in the lessons and that’s okay!)
The lessons include a complete vocab list by semester for students, a grammar topics list by semester for students, daily warm-up quizzes, skit scripts, page-long Spanish readings recycling the vocab/grammar content of the skit, daily conversation topics and sentence-starters for responses, writing activities, grammar topics (you use your own textbook materials or grammar workbooks and worksheets to go with the topic) and grammar homework assignments, two “mini” tests per semester plus midterm and final exam (plus practice tests for each.)
