How to make Flashcards…
Pearson-MTHS 2014
What do I do?
• There are three ways you can make flashcards
for extra credit.
• 1. Use index cards or cardstock paper.
• 2. Make a vocabulary/grammar PowerPoint.
• 3. Make a vocabulary/grammar video clip.
Index cards
• Make your E.C. flashcards using index cards.
• Write the Spanish word/phrase on one side.
• On the other side write the English
translation.
• Remember to use markers that will not show
through the paper!!

Index Cards
• Include your NAME, class period, and
Unit/Chapter # of flashcards as a separate
card. Don’t forget to use a paper clip or rubber
band to keep them together!! Examples:
Susie Q. Student
Period 5
Unit 1-Greetings
Susie Student
Period 1
Chapter 1.3- pg. 31
Example
Spanish word/phrase
la casa
the house
English translation on the other side
Power Point
• Make your E.C. flashcards using
PowerPoint. This can also be a game!
• Type the Spanish word/phrase on a slide.
Use custom animation to make this word
appear first.
• Type the English translation on the same
slide. Use custom animation to make
translation appear second.
• When typing the words, you may use
Word Art to “jazz up” your words!!
