For the teachers…. This is the lesson slides for a consecutive pair of lessons I did linked to exclamations in Spanish. There’s a few exercises and a Blockbusters game in the 1st part (slides 2-9) and the rest is an ICT suite lesson where I gave my students the chance to write subtitles for a short animation. I set up the lesson by finding a short movie (1-2 mins) and using the print screen button to capture different parts of the movie from youtube. I pasted these onto slides like a storyboard and underneath gave spaces for the children to write what they want the octopuses to say. The advantage of it being a silent film is that the students can get them to say whatever they want and can be really creative and funny. The focus was on using recyclable vocab like commands and exclamations to make the dialogue and after marking the work I chose 3 to show to the rest of the class. I downloaded the movie using a youtube grabber and used movie maker’s caption button to write the subtitles my best 3 students had written. All students will learn how to use exclamations in Spanish Qué clase más aburrida Use the text below to translate the sentences into Spanish. Remember to put slides 3 and 5 into slide show view to avoid giving away answers. How handsome! How stupid! extraterrestres Qué más Qué tonto! increíble What an incredible guitar! Malvado simpático guapo! guitarra Qué malvada malvado What an evil idea! What lovely aliens! más Qué simpáticos Qué más idea Exclamations Mmm really Zoya ! How interesting! Hi Atheeqa , I’m a Kangaroo, How cool! In English exclamations sound like this ‘How cool’ / ‘How stupid’ In Spanish we use Qué + an adjective (Qué raro! = How weird) (Qué tonto! = How stupid) There are also some good ones with nouns Qué desastre! – What a disaster! Qué pena – What a shame Qué lástima – What a pity Qué idiota – What a dimwit! Qué casualidad – What a coincidence Qué suerte – How lucky!
