One of my favorite activities is to create stories with my students. Today’s was created by my Spanish 1 college class. You can see illustrations of our class story on my website through the link in the show notes.
Dave is a fun-loving, active young woman. She does a different activity every day of the week. Her activities take her all over the world.
This story is in the third person and the present tense with a little bit of past and conditional tenses. Please suspend all logic as the point of the story was to talk about the calendar, weather, and activities, and it is not logical. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “verano” (summer),“invierno” (winter), “tiempo” (weather), “charcos” (puddles),“camión” (truck), and “baloncesto” (basketball).
No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/02/19/simple-stories-in-spanish-dave-la-chica/
