ABOUT:

EL MUNDO EN TUS MANOS is a bi-weekly news publication that has been providing comprehensible news summaries from Spanish speaking countries to students since 2016. With multiple versions of each article, Spanish language learners in Levels 1 - AP and Spanish Language Arts/Spanish for Spanish Speakers courses will find articles that they can read and understand in every issue.

ISSUE FEATURES

Each article will be provided in three levels of complexity:

15 articles per issue total! 5 news stories x 3 versions each = 15 articles

• VERSION A offers the easiest to understand version of the news articles. This is the best fit for Novice-range learners.
• VERSION B provides more details, and context-specific words are footnoted with English translations. This is a good fit for learners that are breaking into the Intermediate range of Proficiency.
• VERSION C is the most detailed version of every article, and no vocabulary support is provided. This version is written for students that have acquired a wide range of vocabulary, such as Native speakers of Spanish, Heritage learners, AP language students, and learners in other upper levels that have engaged in extensive reading.

Each issue includes the following resources:

10+ worksheets per issue, plus whole-class activities and teaching ideas!

• LEVEL A WORKSHEETS: This Slides document includes a print-ready comprehension worksheet and answer key for every Version A article. Each worksheet is equipped with invisible text boxes and ready to be assigned as a Paperless assignment, if preferred. Answer keys provided. All Level A activities are in English and designed to help students interpret the text as well as checking for understanding.
• LEVEL B PRINTABLES: 5 unique comprehension activities, in Spanish, are provided for the Level B articles (one per article). This single file contains print-ready full-page versions of all of the Version B worksheets, plus answer keys.
• LEVEL B PAPERLESS ARTICLES: We provide a paperless assignment for each Version B article. Each file is a multi-page resource that is prepped for digital interaction (with moveable pieces, editable text boxes, etc.). It includes both the article and an interactive comprehension activity so that students can read the article and complete the activity as a seamless digital assignment.
• AUTHENTIC RESOURCE LIST: This document suggests several specific authentic resources related to the topic of each news story that you could choose to share with your students for further learning.
• CLASS ACTIVITIES: For teachers that choose to share and discuss the full issue (5 articles) with their class at once, this document provides instructional suggestions and ready-to-go activities to use primarily with Version B and C articles.
• PROJECTABLE ARTICLES: We provide a projectable Slides form of Version B of all five articles, making it easy for you to read the articles together with your students.
