Lesson Progression
Before Viewing the Video Lesson
1. Review the vocabulary words from lesson 1.
2. Draw a simple house plan on a piece of poster board. Include the following rooms in the house: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage. Do not label the rooms but paste or draw pictures of appropriate room furniture in the rooms. Guess what each room is using the furniture in the room as clues.
3. Make cards of other pieces of furniture that can be placed in the rooms. Continue the game with these cards. Tell the students that in today’s lesson they will learn about different rooms in a house and the names of pieces of furniture and where they are located in a house.
4. Tell the students that in today’s lesson they will learn to count from 1 to 10 and will learn the colors - white, black, gray, brown, blue, pink.
Follow-up Activities
1. Use the First Step Español Again video lesson to review the emphasized vocabulary.
2. Review vocabulary words related to the house. Ask each student to draw a floor plan of his/her house and label the rooms in Spanish - la sala, la cocina, el dormitorio, el comedor, el baño, el garaje. After practice, encourage students to use the expression “This is the ________in my house.”
3. Review vocabulary words related to furniture. Ask each student to draw a picture of one room in a house and include the appropriate furniture. Label the furniture with the Spanish name.
4. Count and then show different numbers of things from 1 to 10 and ask for the number. Let the students count off from 1 to 10 and then call out a number and everyone with those numbers has to race to an established base. Practice counting out of sequence and use addition, subtraction, and multiplication, depending on grade level.
5. Review color words. Put labels with these words on things in the room that are these colors. Play a game with the colors by asking everyone wearing a specific color to stand up. Practice colors with objects that they are describing.
6. Ask students to cut a certain number or color of tables, cars, etc. from a magazine. Each student could look for a different combination of colors, numbers and items. The pictures could be glued on construction paper and labeled with the correct vocabulary words.
7. After these follow-up activities, let students view the video lesson again so they can respond and practice with the children on the lesson.
Supplemental Activities
1. Ask the art teacher to show the use of colors utilized by Hispanic painters.
2. Draw house plans with different rooms labeled. See who can be the most creative with their designs. Label all the rooms and furniture in Spanish.
3. Play “What is it” games with rooms and furniture? ¿Qué es? (What is this?) If plural, ask ¿Qué son? (What are these?) The students would answer Es ____ (It is ___) or Son ___ (They are ____). Use pictures of rooms and furniture, or use a dollhouse and furniture.
4. Play similar games as was done in the lesson where a student pretends to do an activity that would take place in a particular room and let other students guess which room.
Teacher Notes
Information for the Teacher:
Primary grade students often count things to learn numbers. Try to vary this by not always teaching the Spanish words for numbers in a sequential list. Count from 1 to 10, but also count by twos. Show different numbers of things and ask how many. Ask for missing numbers. When you need a certain number of students or things, use the Spanish word instead of the English word. Display the Spanish number words around the room just as you do the English number words. Have students give their phone numbers after they have mastered the numbers.
