Spanish Acquisition Continuation

Unit 2: ¿Cómo ha cambiado la vida? (How Has Life Changed?)

In this unit, students are exploring how lifestyles, communication and technology have changed over time. They have described their favourite things when they were younger, how they used to look and how they have changed using the Imperfect tense. Also describe what their parents used to do when they were young. We have experienced traditional Spanish games that are popular in schools and outdoors. Soon, we will focus on the topic of fashion. They will take part in a fashion show and a clothes market. They will describe their personal style in detail, express their likes and dislikes, and reflect on Spanish fast fashion and its effect on the environment. We will discuss beauty standards according to different cultures and learn about Spanish influencers and fashion designers. Aside from this, we continue to send and receive letters from our pen-pals in Spain and we have recently done a group video project presenting famous Hispanic Carnivals celebrated in different countries in the month of February. Students will take part in a mixture of individual and small group projects while practising their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. They will share their knowledge by producing written work such as blog posts and speeches.

The outcome of this unit will be for students to take part in a speaking role-play project about di and write a letter to our pen-pals describing experiences in the past by using the Imperfect tense and Present Perfect.

Students will learn about healthy and unhealthy lifestyles, actions we can do to stay healthy such as taking part in sports, diets such as veganism and how food production a famous chefs.

As part of the unit Plaza, where students were able to compare and contrast the games they play now and before the “technological era”. A fun and authentic way to experience the use of imperfect tense in a classroom/school environment.

Speaking: In this group video project about Festivals, Customs and Traditions, students write a script and create a video acting as tourists in a Spanish speaking country or interviewing a famous Hispanic personality. In these photos the students went to Spain and Colombia where they described their adventures during the Carnaval and interviewed a famous personality.
