term in Spanish on their whiteboards.

“hace”
Teacher will say one of the vocabulary terms and students will raise either the green or red card
for whichever goes with it.

for section III. Students who finish the quiz early can pick up a Pobre Ana book and read
chapters four and five while they silently wait for the rest of the class to finish.

minutes of starting the test, teacher can ask everyone to go to section III to work on those five
questions.
Activity #3 – Introduce new clothing vocabulary
Teacher will show presentation on clothing. Students will make flashcards during presentation
for new vocab.
Activity #4 – Flashcard game
Students will stay with their same partner and will put their desks together so that the students
are facing each other. Students will place one pencil between the two desks. Teacher will show
pictures of various types of weather and students will race to grab the pencil and give the correct
vocabulary term for the picture shown. Only the student with the pencil can make a guess. Each
correct guess counts as one point.
Activity #5 – Magazines
Students will create a clothing board as if they were creating an advertisement for selling
clothing. They will take scissors and glue and paste the pictures onto a piece of paper and give
