Once students complete this level, they can go on to Bachillerato .This level, which includes two years of additional study, is not compulsory and is meant to provide students with the opportunity to specialize in one of four areas of their choice: arts, science and technology, humanities, and social sciences. In 2019, the school with the highest ranking in Spain was Colegio Meres, a private institution located in Asturias—an autonomous community in north-west Spain. What, if any, areas of specialization can students in your school choose? PERSONAJES MANUEL SARA VALENTINA JUANJO PROFESOR DANIEL JAIME JUANJO: Valentina. Buenos días. VALENTINA: Hola.

Explain that Siglo de Oro is a period of great productivity in art and literature, in the16 th and 17 th centuries. One student picks a course that Manuel takes and says: Manuel toma historia . The other student comments: Me gusta/No me gusta la historia . Extra Practice Ask pairs to write five true/false statements based on the ¡¿Te gustan los lunes?! captions. Then have them exchange papers with another pair, who will complete the activity and correct the false statements. Ask volunteers to read a few statements for the class, and have students answer and point out the caption that contains the information. Also, you can use the Forums tool to have students share their true/false statements about this episode. Notas culturales • In Spain, people can get a moped license at age fourteen (50cc and under) or sixteen (80cc and over). • For additional cultural comparison, tell students that the Spanish education system is divided into six levels: Educación Infantil (ages 0-6); Educación Primaria (ages 6-12); Educación Secundaria Obligatoria–ESO (ages 12-16); Bachillerato ; and Universidad . Schools in Spain can be públicas , privadas or concertadas (private schools that may receive public funds). • The territory of Spain is divided into 17 political regions called comunidades autónomas . Teaching Tips • Preview the grammatical structures taught in this lesson. Identify forms of the verbs caminar , buscar , tomar , necesitar , llegar , and estar in the captions. Point out the questions and interrogative words. Tell students that they will learn more about these concepts in Estructura . Point out that gusta is used when what is liked is singular, and gustan is used when what is liked is plural. A detailed discussion of the gustar construction (see Estructura 2.1 ) is unnecessary here. Emphasize the me/te gusta(n) forms, as these are the only ones that will appear on tests until Lección 7 . • If students have started lists of words from the fotonovela that are useful for conversations, they may want to add por supuesto and claro , which both mean of course . • Have the class read through the entire Fotonovela , with volunteers playing the roles of Manuel , Sara , Valentina , Juanjo , Jaime , the profesor , and Daniel .
