TPRS year 5 - Movietalk - Simon's cat - Scary Legs

I am trying to do storytelling this year, but also to add in another component after every story or two: an extension (commercial, song, video, movietalk, cultural connection, etc).  This way I can further recycle the structures from our stories, but bind them in a new way for better acquisition.

Our Spanish 2 students will be reading Noches misteriosas en Granada 2nd quarter this year and we are pre-teaching them structures from the book to be successful.

One of our first stories was:

  • sigue ___ndo (s/he keeps __ing)
  • se va para (s/he leaves for [place])
  • "tienes que ayudarme" (you have to help me)
Then I had done Total Physical Response (TPR) during brain breaks for some other words:
  • aplasta (s/he squishes)
  • [se] sube (s/he climbs/goes up)
  • muere (s/he dies)

And for fun, I also went over the song: la araña pequeñita
