**This session is offered in Spanish.**

In this presentation, I will share “The Magic Box,” a dynamic tool to motivate and provide more opportunities for students to maximize speaking and listening skills and writing practice. Drawing on the Neurolinguistic Approach Principles, The Magi Box encourages students to engage with the language as much as possible by providing frequent opportunities to actively use vocabulary and sentence structures they learn throughout the year. The Magic Box contains cards with Spanish vocabulary words, questions and answers that students learn through oral activities and then use for writing activities.
