Spanish 4 unit 1-Skipping Class
The goal of every unit is to find and interesting article (or 2 or 3) aligned to an AP or IB theme and either pull structures from that article and/or think about what structures students need to know in order to have a discussion around that topic or a separate topic that would include the structures. The structures I am looking for are “upper level” structures; for example subjunctive, si clauses, compound tenses (etc.), as well as transition words. Keep in mind; the structures must still be the most frequent vocabulary.
Below is a video of me starting the lesson with my IB 2 students.
