"Good morning, everyone! I hope you're all doing well today. Before we dive into our new topic, let's take a moment to check the homework from our last lesson. Remember, there's no need for anyone to present, I’ll quickly provide some feedback on what we covered.
Please take a look at your homework and see if your answers align with these points. I’m going to highlight some common areas—like the vocabulary we learned. Let's go over them together.
Alright, let’s move on to our new topic today!"
"Today, we are exploring something very exciting—body parts! Can anyone tell me a body part in Spanish?
[Wait for responses]
Great! Today we’ll learn a lot more. I’ve got some visuals to help us.
[Show visuals of different body parts]
As I show you each image, I’ll pronounce the word in Spanish. Listen carefully and repeat after me. Ready?
Awesome job! Let’s see how many more words we can learn!"
"Now, I’ll present our vocabulary list on the whiteboard.
[Write the vocabulary list on the whiteboard]
Here we have:
I want everyone to look closely at the written words while I pronounce them.
Let’s practice together. I’ll say a word, and I want you to repeat it after me:
Excellent work! Keep this list in mind as we move on to our next activity."
"I’ve got an engaging activity for you! I’m going to hand out these printable cards with outlines of a body. Your job is to fill in the names of the body parts we just learned, as I go through them again.
[Distribute printable cards and markers]
If you're unsure, just look at the board or ask me for help. Remember, we have ‘Cabeza’ for head and ‘Ojos’ for eyes.
Let’s start! I’ll give you a minute to fill in the first couple.
[Walk around to provide assistance]
Remember to have fun and don’t hesitate to ask if you need help!"
"Alright, everyone, let’s wrap up our activity! Please gently put your markers down and pass your cards to the front.
[Collect the cards or briefly check a few]
Let’s take a moment to check a few of your cards randomly. I want to see how well you’ve grasped the vocabulary.
[Review a few cards and provide feedback]
Well done, everyone! I see many of you have made great progress. Keep practicing the vocabulary!"
"To reinforce what we've learned today, I have a homework task for you.
For your homework, I want you to practice pronouncing the body parts in Spanish. Use the vocabulary list I provided today and try to draw your own body outline or find a picture, labeling all the body parts in Spanish.
Is everyone clear on what to do?
[Wait for confirmation]
Fantastic! Practice is important, and you’ll find it helps when you use it in daily conversation. Thank you for your hard work today!"
