This was a 2 hour lesson so I had 3 activities planned. The first was 25 minutes. Chase drew up a Bingo board placing categories in each of what she believed the upcoming Super Bowl commercials would sell. Each category was written in Spanish. She did very well using words like "manzana" - apple for ipod or computer commercials from Apple. Each of her other categories was just as original. On Super Bowl day, she will check off her "boxes" to see if she made "bingo".
Next we spent 55 minutes completing our Spanish reading/comprehension
story "el Robot". After reading in Spanish, translating in English, receiving grammar and vocabulary review along the way, she answered the questions. Each set of questions was constructed differently. Some are multiple choice, some open ended and some fill in the blanks. She did very well with this story. At this point she took a 5 minute bathroom break.
Our final activity, lasted approximately 30-35 minutes was discussing food in Spanish. First Chase wrote up tonight's dinner menu she would be preparing for herself and her grandmother. We then discussed salads and what she feels is the perfect ingredients (all in Spanish) for a salad for her. Then she wrote down the perfect soup with all the ingredients she likes. For the last 5 minutes, I gave Chase a list of 40 foods - written in Spanish with English translations. Her mission was to read in Spanish all the foods on this list that she likes. There had to be a minimum of 10 - she found more. Her pronunciation was quite good.
