Product Description
This is an entire weekly unit on Spanish dance, with a grammar focus on informal commands combined with object pronouns. It contains vocabulary, grammar, practices, a fun project, and multiple quizzes. The advanced activity has students apply dance vocabulary and explore active and passive voice, using the popular song, "La bamba," by Los Lobos.
Included:
- vocabulary list - with 24 vocabulary words and grammar points
- powerpoint - with pictures of all vocabulary words for practice
- song lyrics (goes with: "Suavamente," by Elvis Crespo)
- grammar lesson - informal commands with object pronouns
- speaking and listening practices: command partners to do actions
- article with questions - instructions on salsa dancing
- reading and grammar quiz (2 versions for retakes plus pre-retake quiz practice)
- advanced assignment - an independent activity to challenge strong students (based on "La bamba," by Los Lobos)
Rubrics:
- Each quiz has a rubric at the bottom, which can be easily changed for your own state standards
- In our class, if a student gets 100% correct on the quiz, he or she receives a "proficient" (4/5). The student must complete the advanced assignment in order to get an "advanced" (or a 5/5 to get an A). This may seem confusing, but works very well in our classes for differentiation. Feel free to adapt the grading for what is best for your class, though. :)
