Submitted by kimber on

Class Activities: 

-We reviewed basic directions from last class: right, left, forward, and back.
-Students learned two more directions: up and down, "arriba" and "abajo".
-We played "Simon Dice" (Simon Says) to practice with body parts, commands, and the directions we learned this week.
-Students learned how to ask for and give directions:
Turn left/right = "Gira a la izquierda/derecha"
Continue forward/backward = "Sigue adelante/de atrás"
Go up/down = "Va arriba/abajo"
-Students practiced by giving directions to different classrooms in the school.
-Students were given a worksheet for homework to practice with directions. It is due next class period (10/19). If they are on a trip next week, they should turn it in the next class they attend. See attachment for the worksheet.

3rd Period Matrix- 10/12

Submitted by kimber on

Class Goals: 

-Everyday in class, students practice conversational skills by responding to these questions: "¿Cómo estás?", "¿Cuántos años tienes?", and "¿Cómo te llamas?". Students will have an oral QUIZ on these questions next class period (Friday 10/14). They are expected to be able to answer all three questions in complete sentences. Students were given a study sheet for the quiz (see attachment).
-We learned directional commands:
Right = Derecha
Left = Izquierda
Forward = Adelante
Back = De atrás
-We practiced with these commands by learning how to dance salsa, one of the most popular dances throughout Latin countries.
-We played a game where the class had to lead a blindfolded student through an obstacle course by using Spanish directional commands.
-We also learned transportation vocabulary and discussed what type of transportation we would use to go to different locations. (see attachment)
