Language and Level (please circle): Intermediate

Class theme/topics discussed: Discovering Granada, parts of the city and giving directions for moving in the city.

Goals of the class: learn vocabulary related to the city and learn how to give orders in Spanish (Imperativo). Second part of Monday’s class structured in a similar way. They learnt how to give directions in a city.

How did you structure the class? 

  • 10 min: Warm up where we reviewed Monday’s vocabulary.
  • 15 min: I showed them different types of Spanish magazines and they had to match their names to their pictures.
  • 15 min: We reviewed the ways of giving orders in Spanish and then I showed them a city map of Granada. We read together some funny names of the streets.
  • 20: Afterwards, I prepared a game in which I printed a map of Granada, and I showed in the TV different situations where people would ask them how to get from one place to another in the city. They had to act these dialogues in pairs using the vocabulary and the imperative form.

What technology, media or props did you use? (Internet resources, handouts, etc.)

Canva presentation and printed version of the Granada city map.

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

I think that the map game worked really well because they were familiar with it from last class, and they knew what to do. They did forget some of the words that we learnt on Monday, that’s why I feel it was a good idea to review them. They are a bit shy, and I’m still working on ideas to make them talk more, however, I do see some improvement from the first classes.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

I think that I will try watching some videos or songs with the class. I do think that the topics that I bring to class interest them, but sometimes they are too shy to talk. I wonder if videos or songs would make it easier and would make them feel more confident.
