60 Instructor’s Manual • Lesson Two TEACHING OPTIONS Extra Practice Name well-known campus buildings and ask students to describe their location in relation to other buildings. Model sample sentences so students will know how to answer. You may wish to write la Facultad de… on the board and explain its meaning. Ex: —¿Dónde está la biblioteca? —Está al lado de la Facultad de Química y detrás de la librería. TPR Have students remain seated. One student starts with a ball. Identify another student by his or her location with refer- ence to other students. Ex: Es la persona a la derecha de ____. The student with the ball has to throw it to the student you described. The latter student must then toss the ball to the next person you identify. Teaching Tips • Explain that prepositions typically indicate where one thing or person is in relation to another thing or person: near, far, on, between, below. • Point out that estar is used in the model sentences to indicate presence or existence in a place. • Take a book or other object and place it in various locations in relation to your desk or a student’s. Ask individual students about its location. Ex: ¿Dónde está el libro? ¿Está cerca o lejos del escritorio de ____? ¿Qué objeto está al lado del libro? Work through various locations, eliciting all of the prepositions of location. • Ask where students are in relation to one another. Ex: ____, ¿dónde está ____? Está al lado (a la derecha/ izquierda, delante, detrás) de ____. • Describe students’ locations in relation to each other. Ex: Esta persona está lejos de ____. Está delante de ____. Está al lado de ____ … Have the class call out the student you identify. Ex: Es ____. Then have students describe other students’ locations for a partner to guess. Online Class Tip Create and assign a partner chat activity where students take turns placing a pen in different locations (visible to the camera) and asking their partner where it is. (Ex: ¿Dónde está la pluma? La pluma está encima del libro. ) Remind students to use complete sentences when they answer. 60 Lección 2 sesenta  Estar is often used with certain prepositions and adverbs to describe the location of a person or an object. al lado de a la derecha de a la izquierda de allá allí aquí cerca de con debajo de next to to the right of to the left of over there there here near with below delante de detrás de en encima de entre lejos de sin sobre in front of behind in; on on top of between far from without on; over Prepositions and adverbs often used with estar El marcador está al lado de la pluma.
