If you are fluent in Spanish, then you could adapt the Spanish lessons to Mandarin (and those lessons are for high school as well as my most current lessons.) If you are not fluent in Spanish, then that is what my older English lessons are for. Those English lessons are a translation of my older (2005) Spanish lessons that I used when I taught 6-8 grade, but they could certainly be used for high school students as well. I hope this helps!Jalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215145953021037097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706391172520946061.post-85794586590994691182018-03-19T10:30:14.179-07:002018-03-19T10:30:14.179-07:00Hello!

But I am not sure which verson I should get: the Spanish 2009 version or English 1A and 1B? What's the difference between these two?

I also have them clear their desks so they don’t have an distractions there. I’ve also started breaking up how we present stories. We start with class actors, but then I do some “whole class acting” with stories that only have 2 characters. I also do some stories with verbal or written translations like you described above.
