Language Resident Name:
Joaquin Garcia
Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class):
Advanced/Intermediate
Class theme/topics discussed: Relative pronouns
Goal of the class: to be more familiar with the relative pronoun in Spanish and their use
How did you structure the class?
Heads-up: upcoming cultural events
Activity 1: I display in the screen the list with all the relative pronoun in Spanish. One by one, students have to create a sentence with that preposition in less that 10 seconds.
Activity 2: Definition race: I divide the class into two groups and give them a flash-card with a word. Students must invent a definition for the word using a relative pronoun and write it down on the whiteboard. The first one who finishes is the one I correct, if it’s good their team gets one point and I don’t correct the sentence of the second team. At the end of the game we count and decide who is the winner.
What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)
Hands-out, TV
What worked well in this class? What did not work? How could this class be improved/ modified?
They loved the race! For the intermediate class, it was a little bit challenging but they still loved it. It depends of your students’ level.
