TPR words:
I chose my TPR structures (limited to 20) based how clear and concrete they were and also took into consideration which words I needed my students to know and begin comprehending/using immediately. For example, I really need my students to be able to understand basic instructions in Spanish and ask for help! Because a few of these words are a little more ambiguous than I'd like for pure TPR, I plan on presenting them in a mixed TPR/PQA format to teach them with clarity and context.
- ayuda
- grita
- se llama
- trabaja
- pone
- necesita
- entiende
- mira
- saca
- se levanta
- se sienta
- baja
- agarra
- habla
- toma
- camina
- toca
- escucha
- pregunta
- lee
Structures
The New LICT series is a fantastic resource for students to use for reading, allowing us to digest shorter stories while getting an immense amount of repititious and spiraled material. There are more than enough stories to focus on one story per week, so I decided to pull my structures from these to use for PQA, storytelling, and then further supporting them with the reading. Moreover, they focus on using the most common and important words in the Spanish language. I plan on reading a novel from the Pobre Ana series, by the same authors, at the end of every quarter. The LICT readings and matching structures provide excellent preparation for students to be able to read the novels successfully, resulting in a culmination of our efforts!
The structures are listed below under the story they prepare students to read. As I write full lesson plans and materials for these stories, I'll add links!
NOTES:
**I've written these structures in a specific format. In order to facilitate contextual meaning, all are written in complete sentences which can be copied onto giant, laminated "flash cards" that I intend to display. However, I intend for certain parts of the sentences to be customized - those parts are underlined and will be "blanks" on my cards that I can fill in with dry-erase markers (I do present these structures to them initially with all the blanks filled in to provide meaning). Occasionally, the underlined word is a verb that will require a specific ending to complete the structure, in which case I have bolded that ending and will include on the line. For example, the structure "Tenía que pasar tiempo hablando." would be written on these cards as "Tenia que pasar tiempo _______ndo." Structures without blanks will be personalized through creating the story with students in which the structures will be embedded.
**All of my structures are written in third person past tense (both singular and plural) since that will be used most in the stories, with extensions into first and second person as well as present tense through dialogue within the story and PQA.
**A few symbols I use are using the @ symbol to indicate that the letter can either be a masculine "o" or feminine "a", and I also write un/una as "un(a)" for the same reason.
