Warm-Up

Para el calentamiento, ustedes van a trabajar en grupos en “breakout rooms”. Van a tener TRES diapositivas con 15 palabras de vocabulario. Van a trabajar juntos para crear tres cuentos diferentes que tengan sentido usando entre 7 a 10 de las palabras de vocabulario de cada diapositiva.
For the warm-up, you will work in groups in breakout rooms. You will have THREE slides with 15 vocabulary words. You will work together to create three different stories that make sense using at least 10 of the vocabulary words in each slide.
2. Students should take turns using different vocabulary words to continue the story. The goal of the warm-up is to create stories that make sense. Students should work together to make complete sentences and incorporate the vocabulary words in a way that makes sense.
Deben tomar turnos usando una palabra de vocabulario para continuar el cuento. La meta del calentamiento es trabajar juntos, crear oraciones completas y usar las palabras de la diapositiva para crear un cuento que tenga sentido.
You have to take turns using a vocabulary word to continue the story. The goal of the warm-up is to work together, create complete phrases, and use the words in the slides to create a story that makes sense.
Main Activity
1. Divide the students into groups and assign each group one of the slides. (There are three to choose from)
Los voy a poner en grupos en “breakout rooms” otra vez. A cada grupo voy a asignar una diapositiva.
-
- Students will be asked to develop questions using the Can-Do statement on the slides. A sample question will be provided to help them get their wheels turning. These should be personal, interview-type questions, as the following week they will use these to participate in a speed-dating activity.
Uds. tienen que crear preguntas usando los can-dos en las diapositivas. Hay un ejemplo para ayudarles. Estas preguntas deben ser personales, como preguntas de una entrevista porque vamos a usar estas preguntas en la actividad de la semana que viene.
-
- (Seven minutes) Put the students into groups of two and ask them to make a google doc per group and tell them to share it with the lab assistant. They are going to use this document to write down their answers. During this part of the activity, you should jump from one break out to room to ensure that the students are using Spanish and creating level-appropriate questions. (No yes/no questions; they should be creating open-ended questions that are challenging!)
Usando el Google Doc uds. deben escribir sus preguntas. Tienen que trabajar juntos; no quiero ver trabajo individual. Las preguntas deben tener un final abierto. Por ejemplo: no preguntas de “sí o no”.
- In the final three minutes, remind students to share their document with the lab assistant.
Recuerden que necesitan enviarme sus preguntas a mi correo electrónico ahora mismo.
Wrap-Up
1. Inform students that they will use the questions they created in the following lab!
La semana que viene/la proxima clase de conversación, vamos a hacer una actividad que incorpora las preguntas que han creado. ¡Nos vemos pronto!
Next week/next conversation lab, we will have an activity that incorporates the questions you have created. See you soon!
(This activity is two parts and will continue next week with the actual asking/answering of questions!)
End of Lab
- Read Can-Do statements once more and have students evaluate
their confidence.
(Use thumbs up/thumbs down or download our student cards.) - Encourage students to be honest in their self-evaluation.
- Pay attention, and try to use feedback for future labs!

How to Revise or Remix a Pathways Project Activity
Feeling creative? The Pathways Project needs your help in revising and remixing activities for the K-16 language classroom.
Try taking an activity to the next level by:
- Add new content (something you’ve created or another OER source)
- Contribute additional activity suggestions
- Integrate authentic materials such as videos, infographics, photos, etc.
- Suggest how to implement the activity in the classroom
- Customize the content for a specific audience or group of learners (for example, K-5 learners or to differentiate for student’s needs)
