What are Flex plans?

Each set of Somos Flex Plans includes lesson plans and materials for 7 days of instruction plus supplemental/enrichment materials and one simple summative assessment per unit. Lesson plans and materials are provided for FOUR (4) synchronized learning strands in order to streamline planning:

TRADITIONAL: for daily classroom instruction
HYBRID: for instruction that alternates between synchronous classroom or remote instruction and asynchronous virtual assignments
VIRTUAL: for fully asynchronous instruction
PAPER ONLY: for students that do not have Internet access

All learning strands are fully synchronized so that all students in the course will be working through the same material, at the same pace, regardless of the instructional strand that they have chosen.

SOMOS ORIGINAL OR SOMOS FLEX?

The Somos Flex plans offer a simplified version of the lessons from the original SOMOS Curriculum. Somos Flex was originally created for teachers who were juggling multiple strands of learners during the pandemic, including learners in virtual spaces. It was valuable to keep the content more consistent and predictable for both the teacher and the student.

The original Somos plans include a much wider variety of activities and go more in-depth with cultural exploration. Somos Flex is formulaic and streamlined, so that neither you nor your learners are trying to figure out how to do new activities and use new tools in each unit. While this is ideal for hybrid instructional models especially, the Original Somos curriculum offers a much richer, more personalized language learning experience.

Teachers that already own The Somos Curriculum can use these materials to meet the needs of learners in less traditional instructional settings (hybrid, fully asynchronous, etc.) and to differentiate to better meet the needs of all of their learners, regardless of instructional setting. The Flex materials provide opportunities to extend content from the original curriculum, alternatives to replace activities or stories that don't fit the needs of your program and your personality, and material for make-up work and sub plans.

Teachers that do not already own the original Somos Curriculum may choose to purchase only the Flex plans if they have online or virtual learners. The Flex plans are not dependent on the original plans in any way. Purchasing both the original Somos materials and the Flex plans will allow teachers to access the full depth of the curriculum and maximum differentiation.

I thought that I had a solid curriculum before with Martina Bex's Somos 1 Original, but this has added such a wealth of time-saving, organized, scaffolded, and engaging activities with the ability to easily provide instruction in a variety of ways. It also provides great extension activities to my traditional materials, Great for remediation purposes, make-up work, and sub plans as well! I definitely feel prepared no matter what type of year this year may become (ex: if we have to switch to virtual mid-year). Thank you, Martina and Team—you have made my teaching life easier and more enjoyable!

I taught the original Somos curriculum for two years before purchasing Flex. I really enjoy having the additional tools at my disposal. This is a great resource for intervention/extension activities, as well as individual work for my mixed level class, so I can work with one group while the other level works on their own.

Somos Flex is such a good compliment to the Somos Original curriculum. It is helpful to use for students who are at home due to Covid or sickness. It is also great to use for platforms such as Google Classroom. I, personally, love the flexibility of using the Flex with the digital components along with the Original Somos curriculum. I love it and you will too!

I teach in an online public school and this resource has saved me! I love that everything can be edited. I use the lesson slides provided and the great variety of activities and readings available. It pairs beautifully with Garbanzo.

This is a great resource for assigning extra practice for any unit. I like to print out some of the activities, but I LOVE that it's set up as a digital resource because it makes it so easy to assign work for extended absences.

I used some of the units of this bundle this year with my older students. The quality and amount of activities is amazing! Students were super engaged and had fun while learning Spanish in a more integral way. The lesson plans are super helpful and easy to follow and saved me a TON of time! Hands down the best material! Thank you!!
