What other teachers said about this activity

“This was awesome for a multi-day Hispanic Heritage month plan – based on a gallery walk in a Spanish 1 classroom. Kids took ‘listicle’ notes on at least 10 individuals, we played a Kahoot using their notes and then they chose their favorite new words (mostly occupations) to put in their picture dictionaries. Great, current, well-written with cognates and basic Spanish. Thank you!” – Erin S.
