Linguistic+Activities

1. __**Vocabulary graphic organizer**__--teacher sends students a link to a Google Doc vocabulary organizer. Each student will save it to their docs and fill in before and after each chunk. They will need it with them as they read the story. Teacher will have review it for completeness and effort at end of story. See below for an example: __**WORD What I think it means Location in story (sentence) What it really means**__ media type="custom" key="10002273"

2. __**El subjuntivo**__: Using their notes from previous chapters and prior knowledge from third year Spanish, students will review the subjunctive (present and past) with the teacher. Next, students will find 5 instances of the subjunctive in the text and identify the trigger and the the infinitive of the verb that is used in the subjunctive. Finally, students will come up with five sentences of their own about the story, using the subjunctive, and translate to English, as well. Students will write their best sentence on the board and teacher and class will go through and study the sentences, noting the trigger and subjunctive verb (i.e. is it conjugated correctly, what does it mean in English, etc.) media type="custom" key="10002343"

3. __**Round Robin**__--Teacher creates round robin cards ahead of time. Cards are distributed at random. Each student gets a card--on the front is a question, on the back is an answer. Only the first question card is numbered with a "1." The first reads questions #1 and the other students have to listen. The student with the answer (students will have to look at the backside of their cards to see if their card has the answer) reads it, then turns their card over to read question 2. The activity continues until the last question is answered. The cards may then be shuffled and redistributed. This will be played at least twice so students have a good grasp on the story before they are tested. Questions can be about events, characters, concepts, etc from the story.
