Spanish 1 or 2 - story idea - didn't know how to dance!

*Disclaimer* The beauty of storytelling is that you really could use a story in any level. The complexity of your backstory or how you go about solving the problem is really defined by each level.  For example, you might be able to have way more complex dialogue in upper levels and ask the class things like, "what would you do if he/she said that to you!?"

Here's a story idea that I used in Spanish 2 a week or two ago:

Structures:

• No sabía bailar (S/he didn't know how to dance)

• Le dijo, “Voy a regresar pronto” (S/he said to him/her, "I am going to return soon")

• Le dio lecciones (s/he gave him/her lessons)

Some previous words I wanted to review:

• s/he saw
• s/he went towards
• s/he wanted to dance
• s/he was
• s/he left (came out of)
• s/he said to him/her

It's a pretty simple one.  Someone was at a party or in a club. They wanted to dance. They saw someone, went towards them, they told them, "I want to dance with you." Or asked, "Do you want to dance with me?"

TPRS year 4 - Story - la mafia de las vacas

So I have to share this, it went well with a few classes who appreciate my goofiness.  I wrote this story lastnight. Maybe I haven't slept as much this week.  I didn't realize there were meme's with the cow mafia until looking for one after the fact for this post!

(See possible pics for classes:
The Cow Mafia   &    Al Cowpone)

So I can use these pics next time!

Here's what I did in Spanish 1 this week.  I like the idea of starting out with past at the first few places and then transitioning into present in the last place.  Haven't quite gotten to it yet, but that's why my story was written that way.
