Warm-Up:
- Begin by introducing the Can-do statements.
Vamos a comenzar con los Can-Dos.
- Show the slide with the “Rolling Stone Top 10 TV Shows Of All Time” and ask the students some questions.
- This slide contains the “Rolling Stone Top 10 TV Shows Of All Time”. Take a minute to look at it before I ask you some questions.
- “La primera diapositiva tiene una imagen de “Rolling Stone y las 10 mejores series de televisión de todos los tiempos”. Tomen un minuto para verla antes de responder a algunas preguntas.”
- Let’s see what you think:
- “Vamos a ver que piensan:”
- “Do you agree with Rolling Stone’s list?”
- “¿Están de acuerdo con la lista?”
- “Do you know all the TV shows that are on the list?”
- “¿Conocen todos los programas que están en esta lista?”
- “In your opinion, is there a TV show that shouldn’t be on the list?”
- “¿En tu opinión, hay un programa que no debe aparecer en la lista?”
3. Put the students in breakout rooms and have them ask each other their preferences on tv shows.
I’m going to put you in breakout rooms. Ask each other the following questions regarding your personal preferences on tv shows.
“Los voy a poner en “breakout rooms”. Preguntense el uno al otro sus preferencias encuanto programas de televisión.”
-
- “What is your favorite TV show?” “What is it like?”
- “¿Cuál es tu programa favorito? ¿Cómo es?”
- “What is a TV show you don’t like?” “Why don’t you like it?”
- “¿Cuál es el programa que menos te gusta? ¿Por qué?”
Main Activity:
- For the main activity, you will be working in pairs in breakout rooms creating a story for a television show using different vocabulary words.
- “Para la actividad principal van a trabajar con un compañero en “breakout rooms” creando un cuento para un programa de televisión usando diferentes palabras de vocabulario.”
- Open the link posted in the chat to find the vocabulary words you need to use.
- “Abran el enlace que esta en el “chat” para obtener las palabras de vocabulario que necesitan usar.”
- Each slide has two words. You need to take turns using the words.
- “Cada diapositiva tiene dos palabras. Necesitan turnarse usando las palabras.”
- It’s important for you to pay attention because the story has to make sense. The person with the last card has to try resolving the storyline.
- “Es importante que presten atención porque el cuento debe tener sentido. La persona que tiene la última tarjeta necesita intentar resolver el cuento.”
