What teachers are saying about this lesson:

Thank you so much for these materials! I teach French, not Spanish, but nevertheless your materials have proven helpful to me. With my 10th graders I did the subjunctive story. It was quite a success and by far the best thing I ever did to teach the subjunctive in French.

Holy COW!!!! When you write something, it is truly a thing of beauty! What a darling lesson and really good stories! Not only is it pedagogically gorgeous; your explanations are incredibly supportive and helpful. Very creative and lots of fun to read. Just a fantastic job, Bryce.

Julie Formby, Colorado:
Wow, Bryce! It is really helpful to see the method in writing! When observing you model the teaching method, there are so many details and tactics to take note of that it is difficult to hone in on all of them. Having it written out stresses the different facets that need to be addressed, so I find it easier to follow and solidify in my thoughts! I think you did a great job giving examples and the rationale behind each one.

Lavinia Rogers, New Jersey:
This reading is wonderful and really helped me to see how to use the subjunctive in my own classes. I feel like I have been in the mind of a genius.
