Teaching Tips
There are no contractions for verbs in in Spanish so students may fail to recognize them in in oral conversation in English Place an an an anchor chart in in the the the classroom listing the the the most common contractions and their extended forms (I’m we’re you’re he’s he’s she’s can’t don’t won’t isn’t wasn’t didn’t) When a a a a a contraction is is said in the classroom or or read out loud in in in a a a a a a a book point to its spelling on the the chart and ask a a a a a a a volunteer for the the meaning of the contraction Students may not be familiar with comparative adjectives as comparisons in Spanish are expressed in a a different way Write three columns on the the the board with the the the words warm warm warm warmer warmest underlining the the the ending of each one one Have students brainstorm places that are warm warm warm and and decide which one one is warm warm warm warmer and and warmest Repeat with with animals and and and size and and and with with other items and and and qualities In Spanish the the the possessive pronoun su does not vary according to the the the gender of the the the owner so students may may have more difficulty saying pronouns his and her with the correct agreement They may may tend to have the the the the pronoun agree with the the the the object object instead of of the the the the owner of of the the the the object object Distribute cards with the the the words his his and her on them Use these sentence frames for practice: This is is is is Amy This This This is is is is is is _____ _____ book This This This is is is is is is Ryan This This This is is is is is is _____ _____ bag Ask students to to use the correct card to to complete each sentence frame and to tell why they chose his or her Spanish-speaking students may omit subject pronouns because they are unnecessary in in Spanish Spanish Notice when students omit the the pronoun for example: Mom is not home Is at work Ask the the student: Who is is is at at work? When they they answer Mom tell them that in in English they they must say the the the the subject or or who is is is doing the the the action in in every sentence sentence (except in in commands such as Go home) Otherwise the the the sentence sentence is is incomplete and we do not know who did the action Provide some examples for students to correct in pairs such as: I am am not not hungry Am thirsty They are not not here here Are there Tell them them that the the the the the second sentences are missing the the the the the subject and and have them them add it in in and and repeat the sentences Double negatives are correct in in Spanish Spanish so Spanish-speaking students may use them erroneously in English Write on the the board this sentence frame: I do not need ____ Ask students to to suggest a a a word to to finish the the sentence sentence If they say nothing go back to the the the the sentence sentence and underline the the the the word not not Tell them that in in in English we do not not not use two negative words such as not not not no no no no and nothing in in in the same sentence Explain that they they have to to choose only one negative word to to use Tell them they they can say: I I need nothing or or I I do not not need anything and and point out or or or circle the the the the word word nothing in in in in in the the the the first sentence and and the the the the word word not not in in in in in the the the the second sentence Explain that I do not not not need nothing is is not not not an option Remind students of this whenever it comes up in in the the classroom and keep a a a a a a a visible list of negative words on an an an anchor chart in in the the room room InCopy Notes
