Key+sentences+and+vocabulary

It is based on the Michel Thomas method which works by breaking the Spanish language down into its component parts, enabling to reconstruct a language to form the student's own sentences, to say what the student wants to express, when he/she wants to. Because the language is learnt in small steps, the student can build it up him/herself to produce ever more complicated sentences. (Source: @http://www.michelthomas.com/)

 * The Silly Spinner Game**

Students can then create their own spinner games with other actions. They look up verbs in the dictionary. Some expressions in TL to use during the game. || Write vocabulary words on slips of paper in the target language (enough for one per student). Distribute a slip of paper to each student and divide the class into pairs. Pairs present their sentences to the class by holding up their white- boards. The class can vote on which student in each pair wrote the most original or the funniest sentence. Each student shares his word with his partner. Then, working individually, the students each write a sentence in the target language on their whiteboards, which includes both words. Students find new partners and repeat the process three more times. || Write a short sentence in the target language on the classroom board, but leave off the ending. For example: “Quiero comer .....” Students write the sentence from the classroom board on their white boards and complete it in the target language. For example: “Quiero comer un helado.” They then find a partner, with whom they exchange boards. Each student reads the other student’s sentence aloud. Students switch partners five times, each time reading the other student’s sentence aloud, returning to their seats to share some of the sentences they heard with the class. For advanced classes, give students multiple sentence starters to finish, or have each student write multiple endings for one sentence. || One student stands guard by a small animal but is blindfolded. The students chant “Roba la vaca” while someone (usually chosen by the teacher) steals the cow and hides it. The blindfolded person may ask three questions about who stole it (in Spanish) and then must guess by saying “Maria **tiene** la vaca.” If the student guesses correctly, a new guardian is chosen. || @http://martinabex.com/2012/03/31/buscando-gafas/ || Write 10 sentences in the target language on the classroom board. Each sentence should depict a different scene. Students read the sentences, select their favorite, then draw a picture on their whiteboard based on the sentence. Students walk around the room and share their pictures with each other, without revealing which sentence the picture is based upon. If the other student guesses the sentence correctly, he writes his initials on the bottom of the whiteboard. || One student sits in a chair or "**silla caliente**". Another student approaches and gives the "hot seat" student a creative reason to stand up. For example: "Puedo ver una tormenta!". When the seated student stands up, the second one sits down and is approached by the next student who might say something like "Oh no, veo un crocodilo!"... Continue until all students have been in the hot seat. ||
