Write on whiteboards any words they remember from last lesson.

 

Ask if anyone knows any words for the members of the family.

 

Teaching the learning intentions (Development)

In pairs, roll the dice with the different members of the family on it and determine if it is el/la. Form a sentence which includes this member of the family. (Talking and listening)

 

In table groups, sort the picture/word cards under the headings of el/la. (Reading)

 

Just as before, roll the dice and form a sentence including this person. This time write the sentence in workbooks.

Using the mini whiteboards, ask pupils to write down a word they learned today. Ask them to write down words such as ‘the mother’ to determine understanding.

Discuss with pupils how they found the work- was it too hard or too easy? Was there anything they struggled with? How did they overcome problems? (dictionary, shoulder partner, ask teacher)
