Description

Are your students struggling with differentiating the preterite vs imperfect tenses? Then these engaging fairy tale activities are just what you've been looking for! This fun resource based around the classic story of Cinderella (Cenicienta) is an easy-to-use and low-prep way to practice the preterite and imperfect, along with reading comprehension skills. To make this resource even better, it also includes Google Slides™ versions, perfect for learning stations, independent assignments, distance learning, make-up work, and more!

Here's what you'll get:

✅ two versions of the story (multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank)

✅ illustrated PowerPoint version of the story

✅ two sets of comprehension questions (true/false and short answer)

✅ 6 google forms™️ included for assessment

✅ answer keys for stories and questions

✅ short photo vocab lists to teach major vocab and characters

✅ coordinating vocab PowerPoint

✅ blank storyboard (for students to illustrate the story)

✅ ideas for extension activities

The familiar story of Cinderella is a perfect way to practice and assess your students’ knowledge of the preterite and imperfect tenses in Spanish with easy differentiation. Students love these activities because they use stories that they are already familiar with, making them more comprehensible, turning this tricky grammar topic from dry and boring to engaging and fun!

This resource makes a great emergency sub plan (2 days’ worth of material), homework assignment, or formative assessment. These stories are great for Spanish 2 or as a review of the Preterite vs Imperfect tenses at the beginning of Spanish 3 or 4.

Prepping this resource couldn't be any easier - just print out the pages you want to use with your students and make enough copies! Don't have time to make copies or have a last-minute sub? Use the comprehensible and engaging story powerpoint with your students or assign the Google Slides™ version story and questions.

This resources includes two versions of the same story:

• Version A has the verbs already conjugated, and the students must choose between the preterite and imperfect tenses of the verb.
• Version A also includes true/false comprehension questions in the past tense and students must correct the false statements.
• Version B includes only the infinitive, so they must first decide which tense to use (preterite or imperfect) and then fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb.
• Version B also includes comprehension questions to be answered in complete sentences in Spanish in the past tense.

Each version of the story with questions is two pages long. The two different versions make differentiation simple!
