Description
Looking for an engaging way to assess your students’ understanding of the imperfect tense in Spanish? This Video Diary Project prompts students to reflect on their childhood experiences while practicing high-frequency verbs and vocabulary in the imperfect tense. It’s a meaningful way for learners to personalize language, strengthen fluency, and demonstrate growth in presentational speaking.
Students answer scaffolded questions in Spanish related to childhood routines, favorite activities, toys, shows, foods, and more. Each response encourages the use of descriptive language, verbs like “ser,” “gustar,” “jugar,” “tener,” and “ver,” and supports storytelling in a culturally relevant and personal context.

✅ Student instructions with 8 personal childhood-themed questions in Spanish
✅ Requirements for using the day and date in Spanish at the start of the video
✅ Optional sentence starters to support lower-level learners
✅ “Can-Do/Will-Do” reflection statements
✅ Presentational speaking rubric
✅ Recording and submission guidelines
