Emily, Thanks for the sub plan! You rock. I have one to share too. Hey peeps, I created this packet of activities for vocabulary and writing development to be used when I have a sub. The students hear authentic language from a movie of their choice. I used it for both Spanish I and II. I reviewed the instructions the day before I left and did examples, instructions are in Spanish on the packet. I told my students they can use the structure and activities for completing Sé motivado (semester project) time outside of class too. Notes for the sub... Movie Prep a. Take out packet. Get a whiteboard to write on. Borrow pencils for a piece of collateral (shoe, keys, headphones) b. Convert circle to a horseshoe. c. Start getting the technology turned on and figure out. Ask for a student helper if needed. d. Have different students review the instructions for each section in Spanish while you or other students set up the movie. e. Have a student leader ask the class which movie they want. Leader should guide a vote. Majority wins. Needs to be the same movie, both days. f. Remind them the packet needs to be completed by Friday. Is worth 30 points. g. Start movie. Start activities in packet. h. Sit with them in the horseshoe formation. Walk around and monitor their progress. Please LISTEN FOR EXTENSIVE ENGLISH USE. One or two words is less of a big deal, but open speaking of English is not okay. i. Stop the movie periodically and have them work through sections of the packet for maybe 5-15 minutes. You be the judge. They will need to use and share dictionaries. They may get up at this time also and ask other groups for help or ask the class for help. Allow them to use the board if they need. State that they may not sit and chat with their buddies during this time and encourage them to stay away from their friends to prevent getting off task and speaking English. j. Mark the ending point in minutes and by chapter for each period. Start the next day where they left off.

I've attached the document as an example. Directions are in English, but I think it is very possible to write them in the TL, I just didn't want any confusion when I wasn't there to help. The idea is for students to complete and also create word searches that are based on descriptions of the words, rather than the words themselves or translations. On the first side, I wrote descriptions of recent vocabulary words, and used an online word search generator to put the vocabulary words in a word search. This makes the word search fairly difficult because students spend some time considering what the word might be, then look for it. On the other side, students make their own word search. They choose vocab words to describe, write them in a blank grid, and fill in the rest of the grid with random letters. This activity took most of my students the entire 50-minute class period, some finished in 40 minutes. The best part is, you can then copy their word searches for homework assignments, extra credit, or fun review, and they really seem to like doing a worksheet that was entirely created by their peers.
