8th grade Spanish students have begun their Story Unit. This week we started with "story sequencing" in which we put the pictures of the familiar tale "El hombrecito de jengibre" (The Gingerbread Man), and matched strips of dialogue/text in Spanish using keywords and context to these picture clues. We then told the story of the gingerbread man in Spanish with the students best translation in English. We also began "story maps" in which we took the story "El número de teléfono" and utilized a graphic organizer and story map to discuss and report the order of events in this tale. We also acted out this story using our reader's theatre background.
7th grade Spanish students have been working on their "La Familia" unit. This week we talked about family during warm-up, and we discussed how the hispanic household is similar and different to families across the globe. We learned some new vocabulary and did a short reading in Spanish about "Los Rodriguez," a Mexican family.
6th graders have been bookmarking Spanish websites to practice and review vocabulary they learned in elementary school as well as doing their first speaking activities (warm-up and introductions). We have discussed Latin and romance languages and learned about how words are similar in romance languages. Students reviewed cognates, the importance of accent marks, and basic expressions like stating their birthday, the date, and the weather outside.
