This is an an online, mobile-friendly, digital language-learning grammar game collection for students of French created by Sonja Burrows and Brigitte Humbert at Middlebury College. It is a playful learning space, free and open to the public, where one can drop by anytime and from anywhere. The games on the site are divided into three sections: •Sentence Whiz, where users can practice questions, negations, relative pronouns, active and passive voice, and more structures. •Word Nerd, where users can use nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, possessives, prepositions as well as additional parts of speech. •Verb Challenge, where users can master past, present, and future verb tenses as well as tackle conditional, subjunctive, imperatives, and infinitives. In addition, a guide for the learning space supports users who do not know where to begin or who would like to complete games in an established or recommended path. A resources area allows users to access explanations of grammar and, in some sections, traditional grammar exercises which support the games. Relevant sections of the resources area are linked to games which treat the same grammar points, so that users who complete a game and seek more practice or grammar explanations can easily find that needed support. A navigation and filtering system also allows users to select games which only treat a certain grammar point.

SYNOPSIS: In this lesson, students explore the impact of climate change on small-scale fishing communities and best practices for building resilience.
SCIENTIST NOTES: In this lesson, students explore how climate change is changing industrial fishing. This lesson passes our scientific review process.
En esta lección, los estudiantes exploran cómo el cambio climático está cambiando la industria pesquera. Esta lección pasa nuestro proceso de revisión científica.
POSITIVES: -This lesson builds on lesson 1 of the Cambio Climático y la Pesca unit by providing real-life examples of what students experienced in the role-playing game, El Juego de Peces. -The authentic texts, game, and student choice in this lesson engage students in discovering new information while developing their Spanish language skills and increasing their capacity for intercultural understanding. -In this lesson, students are invited to explore the topic of gender equity through data and by listening to the voices of women in the small-scale fishing industry.
ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES: -This is lesson 2 of 3 in our Cambio Climático y la Pesca unit. -To successfully navigate this lesson, students should be at an intermediate-low proficiency level. -Students familiar with the imperfect tense will be prepared to understand the interviews in the videos in which fisher people describe their childhoods. -Students with the ability to use the present subjunctive will have the opportunity to employ this concept to express recommendations, doubts, and perspectives.
DIFFERENTIATION: -The Conecto game in the Inquire section can be played in small groups or pairs by sharing the link with students. -Students may want to watch the video in the Inquire section one time with the closed captions off and then again with the Spanish closed captions on. -The tic-tac-toe activity in the Investigate section can be assigned as a graded mini-project or as un-graded collaborative classwork. -The mural can be painted directly on a wall, or students can use a long sheet of bulletin board paper. -After completing this lesson, advanced students can research small-scale fishing in their own community and record an AP-style cultural comparison presentation.

SCIENTIST NOTES: We have a problem with plastics; they are everywhere. And they are bad for the climate and our health. This lesson shows how some countries are trying to reduce the use of plastics. This lesson passed our scientific review process.
Tenemos un problema con los plásticos; están por todas partes. Y son malos para el clima y nuestra salud. Esta lección muestra cómo algunos países están tratando de reducir el uso de plásticos. Esta lección pasó nuestro proceso de revisión científica.
POSITIVES: -This lesson can easily be integrated into a unit on daily routines, the environment, or the present tense. -Students are exposed to ways that Latin American countries are leading the way in solving the plastics problem. -The lesson engages students with two games, Quizlet live and Kahoot. -The vocabulary related to plastic items is scaffolded so that students can independently navigate the Spanish-language websites and complete the final project with confidence.
ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITES: -The activities presume novice-high Spanish-language proficiency. -Students should be familiar with reflexive verbs in the present tense, verbs like gustar to express opinions, and daily routine vocabulary. -To prepare to teach this lesson, teachers can learn about plastics and recycling. -This NPR/Frontline report from 2020 and this in-depth Greenpeace España report analyze the limits of recycling as a solution to the plastic problem. -Bioplastics are made from natural ingredients such as corn. This flier, produced by Break Free From Plastic, provides data about the drawbacks of this solution.
DIFFERENTIATION: -The lesson can be shortened by eliminating the vocabulary activities in the Inquire section or eliminating either Parte 1 or Parte 2 in the Inspire section. -The lesson can be extended for advanced students by including supplemental reading and listening activities. -Students can explore the 2024 international treaty on plastics using this summary in Spanish of the 22 foundational points. -This RTVE report "La Unión Europea dice adiós al plástico de un solo uso" includes text and a short video. -Recicladores de base are an important part of the recycling process in many countries.
