S.O.R. Index Layout Explanation

Summary

Here, I give key information for you to know when you are considering accessing a source.

Make sure to look for bold words, which mark key concepts or important points.

Starter Links

Home Page

There are at least three 'starter links' listed under each resource. Starter links are included to 'scaffold' exploration of a website.

Example 1

Because websites can be cumbersome, each starter link lets you explore key points of the online resource without getting lost in the website - they give you a place to start.

Example 2

There will always be a link to the home page of the resource at the far left, and you can visit each linked page by clicking on the BOLDED title under each picture, or the picture itself.

Action Item

Have students develop their proficiency!

This section of the web page serves as another place to get you started using the online resource in your classroom. These suggestions start the creative process for an activity that can be used in the classroom, so that you don't have to spend as much time trying to create something.

But don't stop here! You are encouraged to come up with other ideas for how to use the resources on each site. Enjoy exploring, learning, and creating learning opportunities!

Webpage Gallery

Here there are some sample screenshots of each online resource. This will give you a preview of the layout of the online resource, can show you other possible resources, and help you recognize a specific resource that you are looking for when you access the site on your own. There is a description of each photo listed as the last sentence in the paragraph.

Featured Keywords

Possible Thematic Unit Use

Here there is a list of keywords or phrases that you can use to find a resource to fit a specific instruction-al need.

For example, if you are looking for audio of a native speaker for a unit on family, you can search "familia" or "padres".

Most keywords and thematic unit keywords are in Spanish, but some are in English, so please search both.
Some resources have extensive applications, so be sure to include the word: "hub" - especially if you're not finding something.

Here there will be a list of thematic units that this resource could apply to, (ie: family life, travel, beginning Spanish skills.)
This list is not exhaustive, but provided as a way to guide you to a resource that you need based on what you are looking for.
**Please note** - terms may be listed in Spanish or English.
