ab Initio Unit: Educación

This unit is perfect for making connections to the rest of the themes in your ab Initio course.
For example, we can talk or connect education and sports, global issues, time, geography, physical descriptions, character, nationalities, etc.

Attention: The recorder for the IO just works on Mozilla Firefox.

We learn about education in Spanish through a Power Point. This is our main document with links to activities, questions, visuals, etc.
It is advisable to start introducing, at least, some vocabulary related to the unit, for that, you can use the flashcards below:

Individual Oral:

Choose one visual stimulus from below and spend 15 min preparing for your oral exam. Remember that you just can take with you 10 concepts=key words=phrases and that you are not allowed to read them during your exam.

Idea: you have the pictures here, why don't practicing a bit at home or in your free time?

Remember that for learning to happen we need attention, we need your attention. In order to boost up your attention you might want to connect any topic you are studying to personal experiences, beliefs, find practical applications, share it with your family, talk with your friends about what you are currently learning, find a buddy that can explain what you don't understand, etc.

Quick tips: ¿Me dejas...?

Hi there!
I've been a bit busy lately but I haven't forgot about you ;)
This poster is a piece of the quick tips series, but is focused in how to make questions, how to start the communication, which, sometimes it's the hardest part of it, right?
The question can be used to borrow things from somebody else.
Questions in yellow, possible answers in green. More potential replies are totally correct, so, it would be interesting to have your students doing some research and find more answers for this communicative situation. All vocabulary used in this image it's from a unit about the school.
