¡Listos! by Meredith Clark and José Sologuren is a series of units for Heritage Spanish learners in grades 6-12. Three lessons aligned to the K12 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) form four thematic clusters. Relevant scenarios related to personal life, college tasks, career readiness and civic participation frame each lesson and increase student engagement by making learning authentic and relevant to real issues that students face. Each lesson identifies an intermediate or advanced proficiency target that supports language acquisition in the interpersonal, interpretive and presentational modes. The project also provides teachers with a replicable approach to lesson design for adapting or creating their own materials.

Student Projects and Lesson Plans [CC] by Jocelly G. Meiners and Marco A. Pevia, is a collection of projects created by heritage Spanish students at The University of Texas at Austin. Under the framework of Open Pedagogy, students wrote news articles from their historic communities and folk stories from the Hispanic world. Along with the news articles and stories, there are lesson plans with activities that can be used or adapted for different levels of Spanish learning.
