Have you ever had to teach Spanish to native Spanish speakers? If you answered yes, then you have probably experienced the need for us to differentiate and teach them spelling rules the old-fashioned way. This year I have three native Spanish-speaking students. They are all fluent in the language, but their writing needs work, especially when using the accent marks. Here is an activity I designed for them, but that your students can also benefit from, especially your native speakers. I created a video and three self-graded activities to practice the three basic rules to help your students decide whether an accent mark is necessary or not.

There is also an activity to help students practice telling time in Spanish. I posted a video and three self-graded activities.
