This week we have been working on using the vocabulary from our story to retell information about the characters. We also practiced our communicative skills by interpreting questions and answering them in complete sentences in Spanish.
One of the activities we did this week involved answering questions about the characters that were in our story. Students used post it notes to choose questions around the room and answer them in Spanish. They did a fantastic job retelling what they learned about each character from our story!

It goes along with our Identity Unit, which will answer the questions; "Who am I?" and "What do I like to do?".
