How many of you could use “just one more day” of vacation after the Thanksgiving break? Me too. And this year I took the day. Since I won’t be in school on Cyber Monday, but still want to capture the enthusiasm and energy of Thanksgiving, here is what my students in Spanish I will be doing. You may notice that these lesson plans are heavily drawn from inspiration provided by Martina Bex, thank you, Martina! Students will read a story, a non-fiction text, and then combine the two in a manner they see fit. Because we have 83 minute classes, my students will also complete a glyph about the foods they ate on Thanksgiving day. (Students will do a gallery walk using the glyphs they created the next day they come to class.) For support with holiday specific vocabulary (food), I will also share Señora Chase’s awesome google slide show with students. Hopefully, this will help keep them away from online translators.
If you still need more inspiration to “take a sub day” while you are in the building, check out these resources posted by Spanish Mama. Or try out another Thanksgiving glyph posted on TpT by Sol Azucar. Or try story asking using Jim Tripps’ Nappy Nap script. At any rate, enjoy Cyber Monday with your students!

Great story! Super comprehensible. However, it’s purée de papas in paragraph 1. It is correct elsewhere but reverse in the first paragraph. Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll definitely be using this tomorrow!
