Warm-up+activity


 * //"La cadena"//** This is a simple speaking activity for the whole class.

Teacher starts by telling students that we are going to the market/shopping and have to decide what we are going to buy. Write on board, "Yo compro __las fresas__." The first person in the row restates, "Yo compro __las fresas__." and then adds on a new food "...__y el pan__." The second person in the row then says, "Yo compro __las fresas, el pan y los frijoles__." This continues in a chain and students have to remember the order of the food items.


 * I made a list as I listened and if a student was stuck I gave them the word in English and then they continued. If you don't do this half the class will be writing down the words and looking at them when it is their turn. I found that at times 10 people could go before they really started struggling or it they just took to long for them to say such a long list. I would recommend doing about six students and then starting over. user:batorbro
