 * 1) Here are a couple examples. First have students stand up and partner-up. Students should turn to their partners and describe, in English, what they are wearing that day. This helps them realize that they do "use this stuff" in their everyday lives. Next point out to them that by the end of the unit they will be able to do this same process in Spanish. (Model examples: In Spanish ("I am wearing a sweater." Then build upon prior knowledge and say, "I am wearing a red sweater.") Note: To differentiate instruction, use basic sentence structure with Spanish 1 classes (Yo llevo un sueter.) and more complex sentence structure with higher classes such as Spanish 2 (Yo me pongo un sueter.)
