Opening Warm-up AND/OR Activator (highlight one):
In the Hot Seat—before class, place star stickers on three student desks. When everyone is seated, identify the three students to answer the following questions:
1. Give me an example of a way you might greet and introduce yourself to Mrs. Perkins (in English)
2. Give me an example of a way you might greet and introduce yourself to a classmate
3. Do we use the same language (words, body language, etc.) to greet everyone we meet?
Work Session:
1. Make three columns on the board to sort vocabulary: “Hola,” “¿Cómo estás,” and “Adiós”; sort vocabulary from the reading into each of these categories. Add extra vocabulary (informal/colloquial greetings, different responses to say how you are feeling).
2. Mix and Mingle: Students will walk around the room and find partners to have mini-conversations with (ask/tell names, “nice to meet you,” ask how and tell how they are doing, say goodbye). After finishing one conversation they should raise their hand, find another student with a raised hand, and repeat (3-5 min)
3. Tú v. Usted
a. Look at the vocabulary on the board and in the reading. Sort the vocabulary into “formal” and “informal”—note any patterns
b. Read the “Exploración del lenguaje” on R1 p. 5
c. Check understanding: call out a list of people you may talk to; students should raise their right hands if they would use the tú form, left hands for usted
d. act. 6 p. 5 (leer)
4. In small groups, create a series of scenarios explaining when you would use tú or Usted. Two variations:
a. Fold a piece of white paper into four squares. In the first square, draw a picture of a situation in which you would use tú; in the second square, draw a situation in which you would use usted; in the third square, draw a picture of someone using tú incorrectly; in the fourth square, write the rules for using tú or usted. Include dialogue in all of your squares. Color if time permits.
b. With your group, create a script for the three situations described above. Perform these scripts for the class as a mini-skit.
***Cultural note: In an Argentinian dialect of Spanish, vos is used instead of tú; vosotros is used as y’all in Spain, ustedes most other places
5. Students will present Equipo Research and allow class to vote on their Team name for class.
Closing/Summarizer: Ticket out the door: On post-its, give an example of when to use tú and when to use usted. Stick the post-its by tú or usted on the chart on the board.
Daily Homework: Write a dialogue between two people meeting for the first time.
