This snail family tree is so cute!

Here is a set of 30 tasks cards to practice family and relationship vocabulary. Use them in small groups, as 5-minute fillers, or in an individual or group SCOOT activity.

Cards 1-15 involve family identity "riddles" (ex - Qui est la sœur de ma mère?). Cards 16-30 require the student to reference a family tree (included in the set) of La Famille Escargot. You can project the family tree or provide the students with a copy.

All cards are a mix of T/F, multiple choice, and open-ended questions. Some ask about family members relationships to one another, others ask for the names of certain family members, others ask about how many children someone has. Several cards are challenge cards and involve word problems. (Example - my mother has one daughter and three sons. My name is Jacques. How many brothers do I have?)

You get the 30 cards, student answer sheet, answer key, and family tree. I find it best to print the cards on card stock and laminate.

Cards are designed to be printed in black and white to save on ink costs. Colored card stock will make them super cute!

* High School French and Spanish Teacher for 9 years; dual certification in Massachusetts and New York

* Designed and created my own curriculum to teach kids ages, 3-7, in my home

* Taught elementary students and adults in community centers and at after-school programs

* Currently home with my kids and raising them bilingually (definitely challenging at times, but worth it)

Working with all different types of students from PreK-HS seniors, from urban and suburban backgrounds, and from challenging students to high achievers has taught me that kids are kids.

No matter what their background or where they're from, deep down all they really want is to know that you care about them.

* I am a firm believer in active learning. The more hands-on and exciting the lessons, the more the students get involved, and the more language they learn.

* I immerse my students in the target language and expect them to use it consistently in class. It's amazing to see how they rise to high expectations. By the end of the school year, they feel comfortable communicating in the language, not only with me, but also with their peers.

* To me, each class is a big family - we take care of each other and help one another succeed.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

* 1 of 16 teachers selected from across the U.S. for a Fulbright-Hays Scholarship to travel and study in Mexico for a month

* Top 100 High School Seller on TeachersPayTeachers.com

* Top 1000 Seller Worldwide on TeachersPayTeachers.com

* Have sold over 10,000 resources to teachers across the globe

Shining Teaching Moment:

* Getting a girl with severe disabilities who spoke only a few words and rarely smiled, to laugh and sing a song with me

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

* Wellesley College - B.A. French, minor in Education, semester in Paris, studying at Jussieu and with NYU program

* Harvard University - Continuing Education class in Spanish

* Middlebury College - M.A. Spanish

Raising my two kids bilingually has perhaps given me the best opportunity to learn and grow as a teacher. Watching the natural language learning process first-hand is incredible!

Kids don't study flashcards or conjugate verbs when they're learning their native language; they are immersed in the language and use it to communicate their needs, wants, and feelings.

The resources that I create reflect this native language learning style, but are adapted to the constraints of a regular classroom setting.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

* I LOVE all outdoor activities (hiking, biking, kayaking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, etc.).

* Selected as a First Team All-American Field Hockey player in college and my #16 seed team defeated the #1 seed to go on to play in the Final Four. Very exciting!

* I'm secretly a big goofball and love being the center of attention and making people laugh.

* My graduate school nickname was "Buscapalabras" (She who looks up words), because I had taken only 8 classes of beginner to intermediate Spanish before jumping into a Masters' program in grad school. Carried an enormous dictionary around with me all the time and constantly looked up words.

Love chatting with World Language teachers from around the world in our online teachers' lounge. Come join the fun!

This was a great experience for my students.  Film Slam is the educational version of Cleveland's International Film Festival.
This year it was streamed so I got to show short films at my pace...we talked about imagery, symbolism, personalize the themes, the students got to attend the Q&A and write a letter to a director from Mexico.  It really brought the class together because of the themes.  It was presented in a comprehensible manner and totally would do again. They have so many different languages with and without subtitles.  None of my 140+ students ever attended the festival and most of them never watched a film in Spanish. So I felt blessed to share that experience with them.  Students got to vote for their favorite film.  If you are interested for next year contact Beth Steele Radisek.  She is Special Programs Director. This is such a jewel of an event we have. :)

I did some investigation into Equatorial Guinea, bc I had always wanted to develop a unit and learn more about the country.
My students really enjoyed the Afro-Latino perspective.
I found some music artists from EQ & showed their videos.
One is actually a cardiologist that sings with his son.
I think my urban students appreciated me making the effort to show those things to them.  Several students are from countries in Africa & doubly appreciated it.
I'll find the unit & share later.
My interest was sparked by a Netflix movie I saw-"Palm Trees in the Snow"  it was a story about a Spanish plantation owner in the 40's?. Fascinating story!  Not for students necessarily, but good background knowledge for a Spanish teacher wanting to dive into Equatorial Guinea.

Estilísticamente la obra parece ejecutada a comienzos de la década de 1630, poco después del regreso del artista de Italia; la mayoría de los autores la data en torno a 1632. La perfección apolínea de la anatomía y su palidez recuerdan el carácter neoático de la pintura de Guido Reni, pero debió de ser la intención de Velázquez investir a la figura de una belleza divina e inefable, de acuerdo con la creencia de que Cristo fue el más bello de los hombres, como afirma uno de los salmos mesiánicos ( Speciosus forma es prae filiis hominum [Eres el más hermoso de los hijos de los hombres], Vulgata, Salmo 44 (45), 3). Francisco Pacheco insiste en la belleza física de Cristo al escribir: Cristo, Señor nuestro, como no tuvo padre en la tierra, en todo salió a su Madre que, después del Hijo, fue la criatura más bella que Dios crió [sic.]. Cristo está clavado a la cruz con cuatro clavos, siguiendo la fórmula pictórica que Pacheco venía empleando desde 1611 y que sostuvo con una batería de argumentos históricos y religiosos, resumidos al final de su Arte de la Pintura de 1649. La propia cruz es obra de buen carpintero, como señaló Julián Gállego, y el titulus fijado más arriba de la cabeza del Crucificado es conforme con el texto latino del Evangelio de san Juan en la Vulgata (con un pequeño error, NAZARAENVS en lugar de Nazarenus, como en el Cristo crucificado de 1614 de Pacheco que conserva la Fundación Rodríguez-Acosta de Granada; Velázquez también cometió errores en las transcripciones del hebreo y del griego). La presencia de la herida en el costado, producida cuando ya Cristo había expirado, indica que está muerto; pero parece tenerse derecho contra la cruz, sumido en dulce sueño, antes que muerto por muerte amarga, según la elocuente frase de Bernardino de Pantorba.

Es probable que la pintura fuera encargada por Jerónimo de Villanueva (1594-1653), protonotario del reino de Aragón y mano derecha del conde duque de Olivares, para el Convento de San Plácido de Madrid, que él mismo había fundado en 1623. Villanueva tenía la suficiente categoría en la corte para encargar una obra importante al pintor del rey, y sabemos que tuvo algún contacto directo con Velázquez, por ser el responsable, en su condición de administrador de los gastos secretos, de hacerle ciertos pagos en nombre del rey en 1634 y 1635. Se ha sugerido que la ocasión de encargar el lienzo fuera el sobreseimiento, en 1632, de la investigación abierta por la Inquisición sobre la relación personal de Villanueva con las presuntas prácticas heterodoxas del capellán y las monjas de San Plácido. Rodríguez G. de Ceballos ha explicado la peculiar combinación de circunstancias que pudo conducir al encargo y la elección del tema: mientras se investigaba a Villanueva, la corte estaba escandalizada por la profanación de un crucifijo esculpido que habían perpetrado unos judíos portugueses en 1630. En 1632 se ejecutó a los culpables tras un gran auto de fe en la Plaza Mayor de Madrid, y tanto en el Alcázar como en los conventos reales tuvieron lugar actos públicos de devoción a Cristo crucificado. Aunque Villanueva no fuera implicado en ese proceso, se le acusaba de favorecer a banqueros judíos portugueses en perjuicio de los acostumbrados genoveses, y se había ganado enemigos influyentes. El encargo a Velázquez de un Cristo crucificado monumental se podría explicar, pues, como una manera de demostrar su piedad, afirmar su ortodoxia religiosa y distanciarse públicamente de los judíos. Fuera ése o no el motivo del encargo, hay pruebas de que Villanueva se había ocupado de adornar el convento de San Plácido con obras de arte relevantes; fue él quien encargó a Rubens, durante la estancia de éste en Madrid en 1628-1629, la pintura de un boceto para el cuadro del altar mayor, con una compleja alegoría que Julius Held ha titulado La Encarnación como cumplimiento de todas las profecías ( The Barnes Foundation, Merion, Pennsylvania; véase Held, 1980, núm. 319).
