  • Using have, want, live, am. 

    This week we are learning four powerful action words to talk about ourselves: I want, I have, I live, I am. We will recycle greetings and practice reading strategies too. 


    Learning Intention:

    Learning four verbal chunks to use when talking about ourselves after reading for gist and detail. 

    Success Criteria:

    Notice and explore known  phrases and questions used when meeting people in Spanish.

    Notice cognates and other textual clues. 

    Explore reading in Spanish to find specific information. 

    Focus on grammar and how four verbs are conjugated for you and I. 

    Develop inferring abilities to draw meaning of a new language from context clues, situational clues, and prior knowledge. 

    Draw conclusions about the system of the language. 

    Reflect on how people relate when they meet in Spanish and what sort of behaviour may be considered socially acceptable. 

    Activities:

    1. Engage with a class poll about animals

    2. Do an interactive reading activity.

    3. Use an Action Diamond to learn and practice verbs.

    4. Make an audio/video recording about ourselves.
