Brainstorm (5’): Students brainstorm adjectives to describe sports
Activity 2 (30’): Each student receives a famous Spanish sport player. Then, they have to look up online what that person does, and the achievements that the person has accomplished in their career.

What worked well in this class? What did not work?
Very successful class in which students could share all they know about sport and learn a bit about the importance of these sports in Spain. This particular class loves sports and it was easy to engage them with this topic.
How could this class be improved/ modified?
Time management, if the class takes too long it would be great to split it into two classes.
