Weather/Vacation Activities

Station Instructions: In these activities, students will be focusing on communication skills, comparisons and culture. Groups will last 20 minutes done over 2 days.

Grupo 1  A.  At this station, students will plan a vacation using their vocabulary for the chapter. They will also practice the future with “ir + a + infinitive. As a group they will decide where they are going, when they are going, how they are going to get there, how long they will be there, what they will do each day, and who they are going with.  B.  In this group they will only need each other and some paper. I will provide the questions they will need to complete the activity.  C.  The students will practice their vocabulary as well as review the future with “ir.” They will also become more comfortable with sentence structure.  D.  The students will write down their stories so that I can read them later.  E.  Students in this group will each have to contribute to the story, I want to see 4 or 5 different handwritings on the paper. Instructions: Plan a vacation with the members of your group. Answer the following questions using “ir + a + infinitive.” Each person in the group must write down part of the story:  1. ¿Adónde vas?  2. ¿Cuándo vas?  3. ¿Cómo vas a llegar? ¿por avión? ¿por carro?  4. ¿Por cuánto tiempo vas a estar allí?  5. ¿Qué vas a hacer cada día?  6. ¿Con quién vas? Group 2 –  A.  Students will create a postcard about a vacation spot using the preterite tense. They will write a friend telling him/her what they did on vacation. They will also have to draw a picture of their vacation spot and the activities they did.  B.  Students will need a “postcard,” coloring utensils, and their vocab sheets.  C.  Students will use the preterite tense in context. They will practice the tense which is new for them.  D.  I will collect their postcards to see how they are doing with the preterite tense. Group 3 – ~Anny, I am working on getting the copyright information before I post the riddles. Group 4 –
 * 1) Students, as a group, will read a riddle in Spanish. The answers are all weather vocabulary. They will figure out the meaning as a group and then each illustrate it on their own. They will have to illustrate each line. Each group will have a different riddle.
 * 2) Students will need paper, colored pencils and a riddle.
 * 3) The students will practice their vocabulary in a different context.
 * 4) By looking at their drawings I will know if they understood their riddle
 * 1) Students will read excerpts from some emails I have received from a Mexican friend. He uses slang and spells words incorrectly. I want them to read the email, and answer questions regarding different words. I also want them to underline words they know and circle any preterit tense verbs.
 * 2) Students will need the email.
 * 3) Students will see Spanish written a real context and see if they can decipher it by using the context around the text.
 * 4) They will complete a worksheet with the email.

For groups 2-4 their participation will be based on the work that they do.

My group Rotation guide - I have plugged in the names of my students in my copy of the guide.

These students are used to station activities and I will thoroughly go over the rotation guide because this will be the only new thing.
