Overview

Novice level Spanish students are learning to describe events using present tense. As they learn to conjugate in the present they face challenging stem-changing verbs. These 11 posters each feature a common classroom question that uses the stem-changing verb poder in context. By hanging these printable posters around the classroom, students are constantly reminded of how to use this difficult verb. As much as possible, students should be encouraged to ask common questions in Spanish when they need to visit the office, locker, library, nurse, or restroom.
