ANNOUNCEMENTS:  Please announce this in all classes today.

On Monday and Tuesday all classes will be attending a presentation on a

Foreign Exchange opportunity.  We will meet HERE in this classroom,

Take attendance and pass out any necessary materials and then go to

The RoundHouse for the presentations.  Remember to COME HERE TO

THIS CLASSROOM FIRST.

 

Overview:

Coincidently, the Spanish II classes and the Spanish III classes are both studying concepts having to do with places in the city, streets, etc.  The only difference is that the vocabulary for Spanish III is a bit more extensive.  I have written two stories – one for Spanish II and one for Spanish III to practice their new concepts, words and phrases.  The stories are almost identical, but some of the vocab. in the Spanish III story is slightly different to correspond with their curriculum.  Do the exact same lesson plan for each class – but for Spanish II use the story from the Spanish II calendar page on my website and for Spanish III do the story from the Spanish III calendar page.  You can also use the same PowerPoint for each class because the extra words that are included for Spanish III won’t hurt the II’s to see early.  See below for explanation.

 

Plans for Español II – period 3 and Español III periods 5 & 7

 

Students will each need:

            Their vocabulary lists for the story “Un Turista Español Está en el Centro de Fort Collins”  SAME TITLE             FOR BOTH Spanish II and Spanish III (be sure to give out the right ones to the right classes)

Activities to review new vocabulary and grammar prior to quiz:

            1.  PowerPoint Presentation:  from the lesson plan on the screen – click on the link that says

                        VOCABULARY POWERPOINT PRESENTATION - Our secretary may have

                        already printed this for you, but if not.

            2.  What to do with this presentation in class:  When showing to the class – just click

                        on the presentation from the lesson plan on the screen to open it.  Give the presentation

a minute or two to load – then click on the blank screen.

        Click on the screen to open and advance the presentation

        This presentation is designed so that it shows the class pictures of the new words and phrases. 

        After clicking to bring in the pictures – the Spanish word will come up. 

        Show the pictures to the class and have them compete with the person sitting next to them to be the first one to correctly write the Spanish word represented by the picture. 

        After they have had time – click again to show the word. 

        Students check their own and their partner’s word against the word on the screen. 

        Go through the entire presentation.

 

Story Reading Activities – scroll down to the story which is divided into sections labeled by color.

 1. The class began activities on this story during the last 2 class periods.  We have already:

        Gone through all of the vocabulary words and practiced them

        Read through all of the sections of the story.  (Check with each class to see if they need to finish the last part of the story.  We may not have gotten to the end in each class.  If not – do the following for the last section(s) of the story – the BLUE section and the PURPLE section.

      2.  For each section of the story you should do the following progression of activities

(SINCE IT IS A SHORT CLASS – DO NOT SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON THIS PRIOR TO THE QUIZ.  WE WILL DO MORE WITH THE READING ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY):

            a. Projecting the story on the screen or having the students read along from their handout –

have the class do a choral read-aloud of the story – line by line.  Notice that there are sections of the story written in English – they should put these into Spanish as they read.  If you need help, I have attached a complete Spanish version of the story

            b. As new grammar points appear – discuss them with the class

            c. Have the students compete against the person sitting next to them practicing the new words

                        and phrases from that section of the reading – give the English and have them write the

                        Spanish.

            d. Have partners alternate reading the section aloud in pairs.

            e. Ask the students information questions regarding the story and have them answer in complete

                        sentences.

            f. Ask the same questions and have pairs compete against each other to write out their answers

                        – first one to write a full-sentence is the winner.

            g. Finally – have students do a “U.N. translator activity” – One in each pair reads the selection

                        aloud – pausing after each part of a phrase long enough for their partner to translate that

                        phrase into English – just like the simultaneous translators do at the U.N.

            h. When you feel certain that the students truly “own” the selection and all of the new words

                        and phrases – go on to the next section – the YELLOW section, then the GREEN

                        section, etc. – and do the same process.  Try to finish the story. 

 

Tell the students that they will be having a quiz on the words, phrases and verb forms in the story AFTER YOU FINISH THE FINAL READING.

Un turista español está en el centro de Fort Collins.

 

Un turista español está en el centro de Fort Collins.  Sale del museo pequeño que está al lado de la biblioteca.

Tiene mucha hambre.  Hay muchos restaurantes buenos en el centro de Fort Collins, pero, al turista español, no le gusta la comida americana.  El turista ve un supermercado que está entre el banco y el correo. 

Decide ir al supermercado para comprar algunos comestibles para prepararse una comida deliciosa.  Cuando sale del supermercado, lleva veinte sacos de comestibles.  Quiere llegar a su hotel que queda a ocho cuadras

del museo.    Busca algún taxi o alguna estación de metro porque no quiere caminar por la Avenida College cargando veinte sacos pesados. 

Le pregunta a una mujer que sale del banco, “¿Dónde queda la estación de metro más cercana?”

La mujer le contesta, “¿Qué es una estación de metro?”

El turista español le explica que es la estación donde llegan y salen los trenes del metro.

La mujer le dice, “Lo siento, Señor, pero, en Fort Collins no hay ninguna estación de metro.”

El turista sigue caminando con los veinte sacos de comestibles.

Pronto, ve a un hombre que sale del correo.

Le pregunta al hombre, “Perdone, Señor.  ¿Me indica Ud. dónde queda la parada de taxis?

El hombre lo mira con una expresión de sorpresa y le dice, “Lo siento, Señor, pero no hay ninguna parada de taxis en Fort Collins.”

El turista dobla a la izquierda y sigue caminando hacia su hotel que ahora queda a unas cinco cuadras.

Por fin, ve una parada de autobuses que está enfrente de una farmacia y se pone muy contento. 

Se sienta en el banco de la parada y grita, “¡Por lo menos hay autobuses en Fort Collins!”
