Hi high beginner Spanish class!
I apologize that lesson plans weren't posted the two weeks before holiday break since I was in South America. Students had a substitute from Colombia and continued to learn about cultural aspects of the Spanish speaking world including information about Colombia and festivals celebrated throughout the region. I am now officially back on track in terms of posting lessons.
In class today, students answered the following question:
Escribe 2 cosas interesantes de las clases con Karina.
I asked students to share one interesting thing they learned.
We talked about typical elements of a letter:
* fecha (date)
* querido/querida (dear)
* sinceramente (sincerely)
Students wrote a letter to Karina (the substitute while I was gone before break) thanking her and sharing what they learned. Phrases used:
- Gracias por... (venir/enseñar)
- Me gustó...
- Aprendí..
- Fue interesante...
- Mi festival favorito es...
We are going to review what students learned about festivals and have a quick test next week. The test will include information about our culture unit and verbs:
- lucha libre
- festivales
- verbs and conjugations (ser/estar/hay/tener)
We spent the remainder of class starting our review as I asked questions about the above items.
Tarea: study information about festivals, lucha libre, ser/estar/hay/tener
