My unit is called "Bienvenidos a Mi Escuela" (Welcome to My School). This unit will be taught in 8th grade Spanish and will last about 2 weeks. This unit could also be used for 7th grade students and is suitable for beginning or intermediate level Spanish. Students will create Spanish dialogues using avatars from the websites www.voki.com and www.xtranormal.com. The "voki" dialogue involves personal introductions, while the "xtranormal" dialogue involves a movie-like conversation about school between two characters. Since the project is divided into two parts, it could be taught during two distinct time periods if desired. I made a wiki on PBworks in order to serve as a central location for organizing the project directions, rubrics, etc.
