ab Initio Unit: Geografía

Geography is easy to connect with basic skills we need to develop in a language we are learning. Concepts like where, when, which, what... come up continuously and we can take advantage of these connections to take our students on a wonderful trip through language and content since the beginning of the learning journey.

This unit has been assembled keeping in mind specific ab Initio requirements but it is totally regular Spanish, AP Spanish, MYP... friendly. 


As usual, underneath you will find all you need to teach/learn this unit and as always, if you have anything you think can contribute in any way to this unit, please, send it through ;)
