Spanish Vocabulary: Specific Class Materials

Activity Overview

This activity focuses on relating the vocabulary for common classroom materials to the classes they would typically be required for. Have students start with a spider map, titling each cell with a different academic class. Within the cell, students will illustrate a simple scene, with the subject teacher stating required materials for their class.

While the model uses a stereotypical list, the activity can be personalized and tailored to target items specifically required by the student’s teachers. Another way to personalize or advance the activity is to provide the option of including music class, gym class, computer class, etc., thus requiring students to research new vocabulary to include in their storyboard.
