  • What worked well in this class? What did not work?

The activity worked out well in class. However, not everything went as planned as students had plenty of vocabulary and structure questions. What interested them the most, were how names full name are composed in Spanish. This took us a long time and we ran out of time, but it was definitely very fruitful and entertaining for both parts.  

  • How could this class be improved/ modified?

The class worked out well. We ran out of time, but because of good reasons. What it is included in this lesson plans is what would work in a well timed class.
