Hoy vamos a hablar sobre las rutinas diarias. Primero, hay 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
- Split your group into 2 groups; the celebrities and the personal assistants. Using the name tags on the Slideshow, assign each “celebrity” a famous person on the board.
Vamos a separarnos en dos grupos. Un grupo va a ser las celebridades, y el otro grupo va a ser los asistentes personales. Para la actividad, *estudiante*, eres Penelope Cruz,*estudiante*, eres Luis Fonsi, etc. - 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. Leave them on the screen for students to reference during the main activity. Personal assistants need to record the celebrities’ responses on a personal whiteboard using a Vis-A-Vis marker.
Los asistentes tienen que hacer preguntas a las celebridades para entender sus preferencias y rutinas diarias. Las celebridades tienen que responder. Hay preguntas que pueden usar en la pantalla. Los asistentes personales necesitan escribir las respuestas de la celebridad. - Pass out the Itinerary Sheets (one per group of 2 students). Using the information they 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 tienen que hacer preguntas a las celebridades para entender sus preferencias y rutinas diarias. Las celebridades tienen que responder. Hay preguntas que pueden usar en la pantalla. Los asistentes personales necesitan escribir las respuestas de la celebridad. - After students have finished making their itineraries, have them share a few things about their itinerary. (You can use the provided questions or make up your own.)
¿Pueden compartir dos planes?” “¿Qué son dos actividades que van a hacer en la ciudad?” - If, there’s time, have them switch roles and repeat.
Vamos a cambiar roles y hacer el mismo proceso. Ahora ustedes son las celebridades y ustedes son los asistentes personales.
