Pros

  • The practice exercise, called Practiquemos!, is an incredibly useful resource that provides a place for pupils to practice every verb tense and allows for teacher registration, but does not require it
  • Additional materials add to the wealth of information provided on the page

Cons

  • The hosting site calls this a lesson plan, but there aren't any instructional steps
  • This is too much information for beginning Spanish learners to digest all at once; break the material up into smaller chunks to scaffold instruction
