__Ven conmigo__! Spanish Level 2 Ch. 5 and 6: Ven conmigo a Texas! Pages 108-161
 * Textbook:**

Learning about health and fitness and ordering in restaurants in Texas.
 * Theme:**

Learning about highly Hispanic populated areas within the US is very important to learners because they can connect culture in the US to Hispanic culture. Students will learn about health and fitness and ordering in restaurants. These are authentic experiences that a learner will encounter while visiting any Spanish speaking region of the world. By drawing in real life examples, students will be able to use the target language to encounter with people in restaurants and be able to communicate using fitness vocabulary. The students will also learn about the amazing culture of San Antonio, Texas which will be beneficial because they can not only compare it to other parts of the US, but to Hispanic cultures as well.
 * Rationale:**

Students will make communicate with each other about their health and fitness goals and why they made them. Students will also exchange information about different activities that they are involved in with school and outside of school. (Using present and preterit.) Students will communicate with other students in the classroom using messengers to talk about their upcoming weekend plans. Students will make an invitation inviting friends over for dinner or meeting at a restaurant. Students will make a workout video including members of the community by helping them to be more active. After watching a video about different activities in San Antonio, students will describe the daily routines of a person from San Antonio. Students will view a video in the TL about the significance of the Alamo and do a follow up worksheet where they have to connect it with something of similar importance to the US. Students will be comparing the verbs by guessing when to use either saber or conocer by having highlighted input in a contextualized story and activity. Students will visit a Tex-Mex restaurant to gain an authentic experience about food and use the target language to order.

__Communication__ Through authentic communication activities, students will be able to draw from their real life experiences and connect them to other cultures. Students will be able to communicate orally and in written form. The main goal is to have students be able to order something in a restaurant and be able to write about their daily activities. __Culture__ Students will be shown pictures about influential cultural aspect in San Antonio, Texas. Students will be able to draw from the experiences in the book and compare and contrast different aspects of various cultures. Incorporating music, events, and food from the Texan culture will help students grasp these concepts. __Connections__ Students will use the target language to talk about the past and current history of soccer. Soccer is a great way to stay fit and is a huge part of the Spanish-speaking world. Students will either present on the origins of soccer, the Mesoamerican soccer game, the rules of soccer or the lives of famous soccer players. __Comparison__ Students will also be able to compare how the preterit tense and “to know” verbs that are used in English and Spanish. Students will also be making cross cultural comparisons. The unique thing about this is the students will be doing a variety of activities about a Hispanic culture within the United States that they will be able to compare to non-Hispanic cultures within the United States. __Communities__ Students will be able to experience the Texan culture by going on a class field trip to a local Tex-Mex restaurant. Students can not only learn about food, but they can practice ordering in Spanish and have fun too! Another option is that students will be making a video about staying healthy where they involve members of the community that need help getting back in shape. Unit Web
