i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

As an ESL teacher I would recommend that your friend does not rely on someone else to help with his papers - the university that I work for regards this as plagerism.  But I suppose he could try a local library as they sometimes have free conversation classes for foreign students.  He should also talk to his teacher to find out where his problem areas are. good luck.

Other than Spanish class, or maybe a supplemental to Spanish class, would be a Spanish/English dictionary. I had that and a book on conjugating verbs (I took a Spanish class in high school, but unfortuneately my Spanish still sucks).

Go to the website I have attached and you will see complete curricula for grade levels kindergarten through 12, done in outcome format.  It is very user friendly and is an excellent teaching resource.  It will show you the scope and sequence required in a langauge arts curriculum.  Just click on the link for the appropriate level.  You will need Adobe or Wordperfect to download them.\n\nCurriculum is usually written as outcomes to be achieved, and various resources can be used to achieve those outcomes.\n\nI hope this is helpful to you.  It is the best on-line example I know to help with your project.

Caligirl, I know what you are feeling, I was there once too, just starting out, I am a teacher.  \n\nI have a Multiple Subject, Single Subject in Spanish and the BCLAD.  I have taught at one time or another at all grade levels in both English and Spanish.   My assignment now is an ELD teacher, K-12.  Included in my daily schedule is a morning 1/2 hour daily pull out instruction with a small group of kindergarten kids.  This has become one of the favorite times in my daily schedule.  It took me some time to get used to it, but one of my favorite age groups now is the Kindergarten age.  So much so, that now, when I could choose to do so many different kinds of assignments for summer school, I choose to do Kindergraten review.\n\nGo with the Kindergarten assignment.  I know you are specializing in reading and are considering teaching upper grades, but there is nothing more rewarding than working with children at the Kindergarten level.  Yes, you may not want to do it for long, or perhaps for more than a year, but it is true this experience will be rewarding and respected for years to come and for future interviews.  Reading is now introduced at the kinder level and your knowledge and experise will be appreciated by parents, teachers and district staff alike AND you will get some great initial classroom experience in pre and early literacy instruction.  If this is a public school, you will probably sign up for the BTSA teacher support program providing additional training, peer support and some classroom/materials funding.\n\nGo For It, Caligirl!\n\nP.S,\nHave you ever considered looking into the Peace Corps?  I was a training coordinator for the Peace Corps once and there are some great education programs for teachers to work in now where one not only gets some great teaching experience but can help train colleagues in other countries as well while getting a good second language and culture experience.\n\nGood Luck In Your Endeavors!

I teach Spanish and we focus on prepositions in the target language. We do it in small sections and generally do it as opposites; on/off, above/below, between, infront of/behind, etc.\n\nOne activity that I have done is assigned the prepositions to small groups of 3 kids; a pair of words for each group. The groups then prepare a little skit where they repeat the words and demonstrate them. Of course our goal is to learn them in Spanish, but many times the kids do not know the difference in English.\n\nFor the skits they can use what they want. Sometimes they use themselves and repeat the prepositions as they move and show what they are. They make signs. They also use props like Hot Wheels cars, dolls, Monopoly houses, etc. Sometimes (if I can get a recorder) we videotape it. It helps the kids to retain them. Oops; just read the question again; with just 2 kids you can have them create their own skits for many different prepositions. The skits only last a couple of minutes each. It will help them to remember what are prepositions.\n\nI also made a powerpoint presentation with a dog and some houses. Each slide shows the dog in front of, behind, between the houses, etc. It helps.\n\nAs for games, it depends on if you are trying to show them where to place the prepositions in the sentence or how to recognize them. For teaching placement you can give the kids several sentences with one word written on card stock. The cards are scrambled. Have them place them in the correct order so that the sentence makes sense. They can use the chalk tray or magnets. \n\nCreate a board game (you can google one to print out). Type up sentences. The kids roll the die. Then they draw a card. If they can recognize the preposition then they can move the number of spaces. If they are wrong then they either do not move, or they move back the number of spaces.\n\nIt will take a little bit to make up the activities, but then you can keep them and you will have it year after year.

Here are some ideas.  And you could modify them based on your time limit and the grade level.  Best of luck.\n\nhttp://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonrepro/lessonplans/profbooks/spotlitestrongverbs.pdf\n\nhttp://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonrepro/lessonplans/profbooks/adverbcharades.pdf\n\nhttp://teacher.scholastic.com/lessonrepro/reproducibles/profbooks/predicates.pdf
