This site provides short news articles in Spanish divided by both topic and level: beginner, intermediate and advanced (teachers should note that beginner level is more advanced than level 1).  An MP3 file provides a native speaker reading each article.  This can be listened to right from the site or can be downloaded. 

Interpretive: Students fill out a chart answering the key questions of who?, what?, where?, when? and why? after reading the articles on the site.


Interpersonal: After being assigned particular articles to read, they would write interview questions either reiterating the information from the article or going further in depth. They then would find a partner who read the same article. The two would then ask their questions in an interview style and answer the questions of their partner.

Presentational: Students create their own Spanish “NewsBite”. They write a brief article about something happening in their school. They must also create a glossary similar to those provided in the PDF files.

Interpersonal: Teacher would pass out visual cues or words pertaining to the stories and students would have to piece together the story using the information they saw/heard about that topic.
