Okay, so you've taught affirmative tú commands and negative tú commands to your Spanish students. Now what?? Let's give them a way to express themselves and use the language in a fun and engaging (and very targeted 🙃 ) way! Let's have them do a project. 😆 Step 1: Choose a format. What format do you want your students to use for the project? 💻Powerpoint? 🖥️Google Slides? 📝Paper? Pick whatever format makes the most sense for your students. Step 2: Decide your requirements.
