Español describir una foto

A B C moderno antiguo llano montañoso limpio sucio seguro peligroso grande pequeño bonito feo industrial rural lleno vacío caluroso frío A B These adjectives are mostly new to students but they can be easily modelled by the teacher in the TL and students can respond in relation to the photos (can add also intensifiers, muy/bastante). E.g. Teacher points to photo A and asks Es moderno o antiguo? Muy antiguo? Y es llano (flat action with hand) or montanoso (making mountains with arms). These are all pictures from Peru. Encourage them to use ‘pienso que’… C 2

This lesson aims to enable learners to practise asking questions about photos. They start off with this slide and try to make as many questions as possible to ask you about the photo on slide 4. (They haven’t seen the photo yet).

Show them the photo and they ask you questions Show them the photo and they ask you questions. Point to things as you describe the photo in response to their questions. They are bound to ask where the photo is. It is in Costa Rica. There is a map on the following slide for you to explain in the TL where Costa Rica is – remember they know the compass points and you can use the word ‘entre’ to show them. Keep this lively and interesting and in the TL – research has proven that students learn best when exposed to ‘rich TL input’ i.e. lots of TL that they can access because it is at the right level and there is support to aid comprehension.

¿Dónde está Costa Rica? Costa Rica está en América Central, entre Nicaragua (en el norte) y Panamá (en el sur) I know that these slides came from somewhere and I incorporated them into this lesson. Thank you to whoever made this short PPT on Costa Rica. There are a few slides here to give some more information about Costa Rica. It is another country where Spanish is spoken and it’s like that learners don’t know much about it at all. The teacher can talk through the information, using the photos as a guide. It should only be about 5 mins - at some future lessons, it would be good to reprise the slides and see how much learners can tell you themselves, as these are mostly structures and vocab that they are learning.
