Suggested Activities

 

    Since this vocabulary was already presented in the previous lessons, this unit is concentrated on its usage and application. It will be applied to family members and their respective household chores that each of them performs.

 

Oral and Written Comprehension

 

Step 1

    The teacher will introduce the vocabulary, which consists of various household chores. To introduce the vocabulary, the teacher will ask the students to state different chores they carry out at home. Also, the teacher can use pictures of the various household chores and allow the students to identify the household chore that the picture represents in Spanish.

    The vocabulary stated by the students will be written on the board by the teacher. Any missing vocabulary will be added/inserted by the teacher.

     

Written Expression

 

Step 2

    ▪ The teacher will ask the students to do Exercise # 51 of the workbook. Detailed instructions are provided in the workbook.

 

Oral Comprehension and Expression

 

Step 3

    ▪ The teacher will request the students to form small groups of four to play a game called "My best robot is the one that obeys the most."

    ▪ Each group should select seven different chores, which they will be demonstrating as a group.

    ▪ Each group should go to the front of the class to present the following:

     

  • One student will mention each chore performed at home.
  • The robots (the other group members) will demonstrate the chore using actions as the first student states it.
  • The robot (the group member), who does not perform the action correctly will be punished. The punishment will consist of dancing, singing, making a sound of an animal, etc.

         

 For example:

      When the first student states, “washing the dishes,'' The robots (the other three students) will act as if they are washing dishes.

       

    ▪ All groups need to participate by presenting their selected chores to the classmates.

 

Oral Comprehension and Expression

 

Step 4

    ▪ The teacher will reintroduce the vocabulary of household chores by performing their respective actions. While performing the action, the teacher will accompany the vocabulary using the following question: ¿Qué estoy haciendo?

    ¿Qué estoy haciendo?

     

    ▪ The teacher will ask the students to select a specific household chore in order to prepare its respective action.

    ▪ Each student will perform the action in front of the class. After performing the action, the student will select a classmate and ask him/her the following question: ¿Qué estoy haciendo?

    ▪ The selected student will answer: Tú estás…(for example)

    ▪ For example:

      If the participating student carries out an action such as “está planchando,” the selected student will answer: Tú estás planchando

    ▪ While the teacher reads the passage, the students will need to take notes of important information needed to answer the questions, which were previously given.

    ▪ Next, the teacher will orally ask the same questions to students.

    ▪ After each question is read by the teacher, the students will respond to them based on the information understood from the reading.
