Introduce students to the vocabulary and structures needed to describe images, with a focus on healthy lifestyles, in Spanish.
Begin the lesson by dimming the lights in the classroom and playing soft, upbeat music that evokes a sense of vitality and wellness. This will create a positive and energetic atmosphere to engage the students right from the start.
Display a large, vibrant picture of a healthy lifestyle scene on the screen or whiteboard. This could be an image depicting activities like biking, yoga, cooking nutritious meals, or enjoying fruits and vegetables in a picnic setting.
Ask the students to take a moment to observe the picture closely. After a minute of silent observation, pose the following open-ended question in Spanish:
“¿Qué ves en esta imagen?” (What do you see in this picture?)
Encourage students to jot down ideas, words, or phrases they associate with the image in a few sentences. Then, have them turn to a partner and share their observations. This collaborative discussion will activate prior knowledge and set the stage for the lesson.
After the sharing session, transition into introducing specific vocabulary related to healthy lifestyles. Write these terms on the board in Spanish, such as:
Introduce various descriptive techniques in Spanish that students will need later, such as:
Finish the introduction by stating that in today’s lesson, they will have the opportunity to practice describing not just the picture but the holistic concept of a healthy lifestyle using the vocabulary and sentences they have discussed.
This engaging start not only piques the students' interest in the subject but also primes their language skills in a fun and dynamic way!
