18. I can name places in a town and talk about how to get there.
Log on and go to htp://www.linguastars.com (log in: comberton and
pupil08) Enter the Spanish site  find En la cuidad.
1)Do the Introducción – it will present the vocabulary for directions
2) Now you choose how to learn the directions. You can make flashcards,
just use the list, use all the online activities etc. Make sure you focus
on the 3 main areas of language learning (meaning, pronunciation,
spelling) but don’t try and focus on these all at once.
3) Test yourself on the different activities. Make sure you remember to
print important screens using the ‘print screen’ function and put these
sheets in your folders (if you are not sure how to do this, please ask).
This is important to show you are making progress. You may choose
to do the same activity more than once: that is great as it helps you
work that memory muscle!
4) Now take the vocabulary list called ‘Directions’. Cover up the English.
How many of these do you already know? Make your own list of the
ones you found difficult or didn’t know and work on these to get to the
stage where you do know them. How are you going to do that?
5) Go to this website and practise some more:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/talk/directions/
6) Go to the ‘Mi vida loca’ website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/syllabus.shtml
and do lesson 3 Kilómetro Cero. Some aspects of it you will already
know (isn’t that a nice feeling!?) but it does go over the directions in a
different way as well. Once you have watched the video, do some of
the practice activities and remember to print important screens.
7) Collect the challenges sheet from your teacher and complete under
her supervision.
