This is a powerpoint I use to introduce the vocabulary from Lección 4 in the Senderos 1 textbook. This is a simple activity that helps students get to know the vocabulary.

I think it is important to review grammar and mechanic concepts in English class. I use this once a week, to help reinforce certain common grammar points in the English language. I have them copy the rule and the example in to their journals, then they have to come up with 3 more examples on their own. I have students come up to the board and write out their sentences.
