7th Grade Spanish
By Profe
In 7th grade Spanish, students have been learning how to express chores and obligations using hay que and tener que. After learning about the parts of the house, students were able to put together a mega-list of vocabulary that would be necessary to describe what chores they have to do.
To wrap up this unit, we pretended that we were in an imaginary house that was very dirty. Students chose random chores that they would need to complete so that we would have a clean house. In an interview, students walked around and asked each other what they had to do (¿Qué tienes que hacer?) and also told others what they themselves had to do (Yo tengo que…).
When students finished talking to everyone, they began working on a visual representation complete with description sentences that showed what everyone had to do. The results were creative, humorous, and fantastic drawings!
