6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| "So now that I have introduced all of you to the idea of shoe verbs,
we're finally going to use the shoe boxes that most of you brought
in the other day. No, these shoe boxes do not contain shoes, but 'Ser'
practice that all of you need. (if not already in tables) So I am
going to create groups of four." |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| "Inside of each box are a bunch of photos from magazines, the internet,
the newspaper, what have you; and with these photos, you will be responsible
for writing at least five sentences describing a photo of a person
or thing. The sentences have to be complete and you must try to use
the correct for of "ser". |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
"By the looks of complete lack of interest on most of your faces,
along with some looks of confusion, allow me to do a demonstration
or two. So let me pick out a picture...it's a little girl! So what
could i say about this girl?
1) La chica es bonita.
2) La chica es joven.
3) La chica es pequena
4) La chica es baja.
5) La chica es flaca.
See! I was able to come up with five sentences with just this one
photo. Can you imagine how easy it will be to write one sentence for
five photos?
Now for the writing process of this assignment, you all will be responsible
for gluing the photo on a sheet of paper that I will give you all;
and underneath the photo, you will write your sentence. |

But just to warn all of you, next week we will be learning the second
"to be" verb "estar". Now, adding this verb will add some confusion.
I will get more into depth next week. Nonetheless, by the end of this
week you all should be masters of "ser". |
