Reflection On The Text Book Writing Sample

I chose this text because I will more than likely be using it or one very similar to it in the near future in my own classroom. It will help students manipulate the Spanish language more effectively through an increase in essential vocabulary, as well as extended horizons in culture. My text book teaching sample helps students to understand previously unknown text and vocabulary, read with purpose, and remember what they read. I made a point to avoid mind-numbing practices, and strived to make my lesson interesting and original. I believe that I planned to teach the text in an appropriate way. This is important text that would be difficult to overteach. I believe I found the "sweet spot" because there are activities that involve students to synthesize the information in a creative and fun way, while allowing students to get a firm grasp on the vocabulary through sensory connections.
