7th grade Spanish students did their MovieTalk assessment this week based on the following short film:

* ¿Quién soy? (Who am I?) Students ended their MovieTalk unit with a Who am I? activity where they heard and read descriptions of movie stars and had to guess on teams based on their knowledge of Spanish descriptions.
Students had to demonstrate their learning of the new structures introduced during this unit. Students created their own MovieTalks entirely in Spanish and showed their stories to the class or myself.
Students learn different structures in Spanish with each video. Students are asked guiding questions both written and orally. If you are unfamiliar with how MovieTalk helps kids learn Spanish faster, I have provided a link below for more information:
