If I did, I would want to keep it on the easier side to build confidence since they are on their own. <br />What novels have the students read?<br />I think Frida would be a good choice, but Cajas is WAY to hard on their own. I have had strong level 4 students struggle with it in class with assistance. I would make sure to pick a TPRS novel that is written for language learners and has a glossary. I think La Llorona de matarlan would be. Good choice. <br />Let me know if you want more feedback!

I have a couple of questions for you regarding novels in terms of books. We have the IB program at my school and I teach Spanish 1 and 3 IB. We always assign summer reading to the students. I have found though that the books were too difficult for their level so they just didn't read it. I am trying to be more realistic this year. For the students who finish Spanish 1, I am thinking about Frida. For the students who finish Spanish 2, I am thinking Cajas de Cartón. They will read during summer but we can do extension activities in class at the beginning of the year. Most if the Spanish 1 students are intermediate low. Spanish 2 are between low and mid having worked much more with all past tenses. What do you think?<br />Thanks a lot for your input. Sra.

I used Piratas my first year teaching (had no clue what I was doing) and now in year 6 am ready to give it another go. I am so appreciative of your blog and your resources. Thank you so much, you are so valuable! :-) Karen Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016299005999851939noreply@blogger.com
