Title: Integrating Spanish Instruction with Content
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for ideas for integrating Spanish and content instruction received the following reply. ---- I just completed preparing a multimedia unit for my seventh graders that focuses on a school theme. Within it I teach the kids some different content-area mini-lessons within the target language. Some excellent Latin American educator resource web sites include the following: http://redescolar.ilce.edu.mx (Educator resource site in Mexico) http://www.rena.e12.ve/index.html (Venezuela) http://www.redescolar.com.ar (Argentina) http://www.mecd.gob.ni (NIcaraguan Department of Education, Sports, and Culture) What I like about using these sites is that not only are they excellent lesson plan sites, but they provide great insight into what Latino students are learning -- good authentic and relevant info for my middle schoolers to see what their counterparts are doing.

Title: Confusing Verb Pairs in Spanish
Body: About.com's Spanish language site this week introduced an addition to its section on confusing verb pairs. The new page focuses on some common verbs that are translated the same way in English but which have subtly different meanings in Spanish, such as 'salir' and 'dejar,' 'aplicar' and 'solicitar,' and 'tener' and 'haber.' Also available are links to pages on 'fickle friends' (verbs which resemble English verbs but do not always have the same meaning), verbs meaning 'to take.' and quizzes on such pairs.
