FINAL REVIEW

Clase:
As part of our final review, each of you will reteach a topic to the class. YOU WILL GET A GRADE FOR THIS!! You must teach for at least 10 minutes. A proper lesson consists of: an introduction, guided practice, independent practice, and a check for learning. Students will be allowed to ask you questions on your topic- so be an expert! Here are some ideas you can use for your lesson:

  • powerpoint 
  • worksheets
  • mini quiz
  • games (bingo, jeopardy, bluff - good for vocab)
  • activities from the ebook
  • powtoon
  • wevideo
  • youtube videos
  • correcting common mistakes
  • crosswords/wordsearch
  • candy for right answers
  • blendspace
  • guided notes
  • graphic organizers
  • KWL charts
  • poster
  • props/items around the room (vocab)
  • venn diagrams/other kinds of charts for organizing 
I can make copies for you if you give me a day's notice. It's also nice to print out notes for your students. We will do this the week before exams (1/6 - 1/10) Mon - Thurs and save Friday for make-ups or additional review.

Restaurant Skit DUE FRIDAY

Due 12/13

You and your group will perform a skit either in front of the class or recorded on a video. If you choose to record - make sure everything is ready to go on THURSDAY. No last minute submissions due to technical difficulties!!  Your project should include:


  • Key vocab from the chapter (food, table settings, useful expressions, restaurant terms)
  • Props (fake food, table settings, napkins, cups, apron, etc.)
  • Menu del dia from the country of your choice (a NICE hard copy to be submitted to Ms. Carr, but may also be used as a prop- so make it look like a menu)
  • At least ONE occurrence of ALL of these verbs in the script: gustar, querer, necesitar, preferir
  • Your part should be memorized. You can use the menu/waiter's notepad as an aid to remember your lines, but NO READING LINES FROM A PAPER. USE SOME ACTING SKILLS.
  • Something should go "wrong" in your skit - the wrong food, bad service, bad date, food allergies, high bill, wrong bill, forgot your money, etc. But then make sure it gets resolved somehow.
Here are some example videos  from youtube. None of these is exactly your assignment, none of them are perfect, but a good place to start for some creative ideas.
