Warm Up
- Begin by introducing the Can-Dos for today’s activity, found on the Google Slideshow.
Hola, ¿cómo están? Estoy ____. Vamos a empezar el lab de hoy con los can-do statements. - Following the warm-up slide on the Google Slideshow, there are pictures of things people do as part of their daily routine. Have students tell you the word in Spanish for each activity. By clicking the mouse one more time, the word will be uncovered for the lab to see.
Voy a poner una foto en la pantalla y ustedes necesitan decirme la palabra en español.
Main Activity
- Use the breakout rooms and place the students in groups of two; designate one person as a famous person and the other person as their personal assistant. Students can choose a celebrity from the slideshow or choose their own.
Vamos trabajar en grupos de dos. Una persona va a ser celebridad, y la otra persona va a ser asistente personal. Puedes ser una persona de la diapositiva, o si quieren ser otra persona famosa, pueden escoger su artista favorito o ser ustedes mismos! - The personal assistants need to ask the celebrities questions to find out more about their daily routine and preferences. The “Preguntas para Considerar” are in the slideshow, for students to reference during the main activity. Personal assistants can record the celebrities’ responses on an online document or scratch paper (remind them to write keywords only). If helpful, have them share their screen when they are in breakout rooms.
Los asistentes tienen que hacer preguntas a las celebridades para entender sus preferencias y rutinas diarias. Las celebridades tienen que responder a las preguntas de los asistentes. Pueden tomar apuntes en un documento y compartir la pantalla. - Using the Itinerary Sheet from the PowerPoint and the information gathered, the assistant and the celebrity will create an itinerary for a one-day visit to the personal assistant’s favorite town. The itinerary should include both the getting ready part and then what they will actually do for the day.
Los asistentes y las celebridades necesitan trabajar juntos para crear un itinerario para la celebridad. El itinerario toma lugar en la ciudad favorita del asistente y necesita incluir la rutina diaria de la celebridad y algunas actividades divertidas. - After students have finished making their itineraries, have them go back to the main session and share a few things about their itinerary.
Cada grupo necesita compartir los planes de su itinerario… - If there’s time, have students switch roles and repeat the activity.
Vamos a cambiar roles y hacer el mismo proceso. Ahora ustedes son las celebridades y ustedes son los asistentes personales.
