Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate the needs, interests, language proficiency, and cultural perceptions of Spanish 1–2 readers and family partners through empathetic user research.
Students will be able to synthesize firsthand evidence and multiple credible Spanish- and English-language sources about a Spanish-speaking country or community to support culturally accurate and respectful representation.
Students will be able to analyze and apply the imperfect and preterite in Spanish narratives to distinguish contextual background from completed, plot-advancing events.
Students will be able to ideate and prototype illustrated Spanish-language story concepts that translate cultural research and reader needs into accessible, engaging narrative experiences.
Students will be able to test and refine Spanish writing, cultural representation, illustrations, and accessibility using peer, teacher, family, and target-reader feedback.
Students will be able to justify and communicate collaborative storybook decisions using research evidence, audience feedback, grammatical reasoning, and strategic digital or visual media.
Products
Reader Research Portfolio and Spanish Story Prototype
Each student will create a portfolio containing firsthand user evidence, synthesized cultural research, a defined reader need, multiple story ideas, and an illustrated Spanish prototype. An individual revision record and reflection will explain grammatical, cultural, and design decisions made in response to feedback.
Illustrated Spanish Storybook and Hispanic Heritage Month Read-Aloud
Teams will create, test, and revise a culturally grounded Spanish-language storybook for Spanish 1–2 readers, then share it through an expressive live or digital reading for younger students, families, and the school community. The exhibition will include a concise explanation of research, user feedback, preterite-imperfect choices, design tradeoffs, limitations, and next steps.
