Objective: To introduce students to vocabulary and expressions related to urban life and activities in a Spanish-speaking city.
Display an Image: Start the lesson by projecting a captivating image of a bustling cityscape in a Spanish-speaking country. For example, a vibrant street in Barcelona during the day, showcasing the architecture, people, and energy.
Create a Postcard: Ask students to imagine they are visiting the city depicted in the image. Give them a few moments to think about their feelings and what they see.
Writing Prompt: Have students write a short postcard (in Spanish) addressed to a friend or family member describing their experience in this city. Encourage them to use descriptive language, emotions, and at least three new vocabulary words related to city life (such as la plaza, el mercado, la calle, el restaurante).
Sharing Time: After writing, invite a few students to share their postcards with the class. As they read, encourage others to visualize and connect with the experiences being shared.
After sharing their postcards, explain that today’s lesson will dive deeper into the topic of life in a city—exploring vocabulary, cultural references, and daily activities in urban settings. Encourage students to think about what they find interesting about cities, setting the stage for a rich discussion.
By starting with a personal and creative approach, students will be more engaged and excited to learn about urban life in Spanish-speaking countries, making the lesson both interactive and meaningful.
