2. Review:

Teacher calls out names of places and students play “dale” as they slap
the vocabulary the teacher mentions in Spanish.
3. Pinch cards:
Students use pinch cards provided by the teacher.
Nunca, a veces, todos los días. Students hold up the pinch cards to
indicate frequency with which they go these places.

a. Watch the video presentation and write down questions.
b. Review the forms with Powerpoint and how to form “a la” and “al”
and fill out notes sheet.

the pronouns on the outside and translations of pronouns on inside
flap and verb conjugation on the inside).

5. Usage of the IR verb
a. Students grouped by interest:
Names of places are on the walls, and students are instructed to go to
the place they prefer. (8 different places) Flexible groups are formed.
b. Students are given the spinners and asked to write the pronouns on the
six spots in markers.
c. Students are to take out their place flashcards, and a piece of blank
paper, as well as the spinner (with paper clip and pencil)
d. Students then take one flashcard at a time, spin the spinner for the form
of IR, and create a sentence that must include the pronoun, the correct
form of IR and A/AL with the place, and an adverb of time.
DIFFERENTIATION: honors students must include other elements in the
sentence, like, with who, or why the go to this place. Model will be
provided.
