Guiding Question: How many times do we need exposure to new vocabulary before we know it.

 

Learning Objective: Students will be able to combine puede and quiere with infinitive verbs to express what they want to do or can do.

 

ir de compras...to go shopping
vas a ir de compras...are going to go shopping
le gusta ir de compras...likes to go shopping

 

quiere...wants
puede...can/is able to

We started class with a quick 5 question pre-assessment:

1. is able to
2. wants
3. to go shopping
4. where?
5. live

We had a class discussion using ir de compras. All in Spanish: Who likes to go shopping?  Where do you like to go shopping?  Who is going to go shopping this Friday? etc...

Then we clicked through Pobre Paco as a class and translated into English line by line.  Pobre Paco is loaded onto the home page at http://www.srarivera.wikispaces.com/

While a student passed out the laptops we watched a brief Children's Story with captioning in Spanish. 
Donde Viven los Monstruos or Where the Wild Things Are.

The assignment is:
Create a story on powerpoint or some presentation tool format that proves your understanding of combining puede and quiere with infinitive verbs to express wants and abilities.

tips

• use a pattern like I did in Pobre Paco
• make it SIMPLE!  We are not ready yet to express some of the harder things
• Remember: INFO first, glitter later....this means put the majority of your effort into the writing and THEN search for pictures.
