Warm-Up

  1. Begin by opening the Google Slideshow and introducing the Can-Do Statements.
    Hola, ¿cómo están? Estoy ____. Vamos a empezar el lab de hoy con los can-do statements.
  2. Today students are going to practice the use of verbs like gustar by stating their opinions and preferences.
    Hoy vamos a practicar el uso de verbos como gustar. Vamos a charlar sobre nuestros gustos favoritos y menos favoritos. Para empezar, tengo una presentación y ustedes van a compartir sus preferencias. Recuerden es importante que respondan con frases completas.
  3. Using the first 5 slides of the google slide presentation, ask each question presented on the slides and ensure each student answers the question in a complete sentence.
    Por ejemplo:
    “¿Qué soda te gusta más?” // “Me gusta la Coca-Cola más que Pepsi.” 
  4. Then give the cultural fact about the slide by clicking the right arrow button.
    Por ejemplo: A los peruanos, les gusta beber la Inca Kola.

Main Activity

  1. Now students are going to share their preferences using a dice game. Each slide has two photos. For example, Pepsi and Coca-Cola. One person is going to throw the dice. After, they will create a sentence using the verb they receive.
    Ahora vamos a compartir nuestras preferencias sobre algunos temas divertidos. Tengo algunas diapositivas que tienen dos fotos. Por ejemplo, Pepsi y Coca-Cola. Una persona va a tirar él dado (dice) y después va a crear una oración usando el verbo que recibe.
  2. Repeat for the rest of the activity. Make sure students are answering in full sentences.
    Después de responder, una nueva persona va a tirar él dado y repite el proceso.
