  1. This one type of “curriculum map” that I have used in the past. I am currently in the process of remaking this document to represent Spanish courses 1,2,3,4.

    I am also adapting some ideas from the scope and sequence developed by DPS for these grades 1-4. When that document is ready I will share it. In my mind I just want a very general document that can reflect what happens in a school year and then allows for complete freedom and creativity based on the discretion of the teacher.
    I would love to see other documents too. In my view the simpler the document…the better!

  2. I like to organize my stories around a central theme. For example, my intermediate-low Spanish students just completed four stories revolving around travel. I find it helps me recycle target structures into the new stories, getting even more reps in. Some of the themes I use are pretty normal textbookish stuff, like shopping, chores, or dating. Others are more out there. I use a monster theme to start off my novice-high 8th graders! Then of course the TPRS novels have their own central themes and ideas.
    Something like that would easily translate into a curriculum map of Themes & Target Structures.

    1. I concur that Themes and Target Structures would be natural curriculum, and an easy one for parents to grasp. My district is actually moving completely that way, and we are theoretically going to have a unified curriculum that each of our three modern languages (Spanish, French, German) will follow, based on themes such as Social Justice, Identity and Personality, Progress and Technology, etc. They are taken from the AP test, and everything we do in class is just supposed to support our students communicating about the theme we are working with.
