4 Expansion Ask student pairs to write a brief phone conversation based on the one in Actividad 4 . Have volunteers role-play their dialogues for the class. 5 Teaching Tips • Before writing their paragraphs, have students brainstorm a list of words or phrases related to universities. • Remind students of when to use gusta versus gustan. Write a few example sentences on the board. • Have students exchange papers with a partner to peer-edit each other’s paragraphs. Alternatively, you can use the forums tool to have students post their paragraphs for others to review. 6 Teaching Tip Point out the form gustas in lines 2, 4, and 6, and ask students to guess the translation of the phrase me gustas tú ( I like you ; literally, you are pleasing to me ). Tell students that me gustas and le gustas are not used as much as their English counterparts. Most often they are used in romantic situations. 6 Canción Manu Chao (born 1961) is a French singer of Spanish origin. In the 80’s he and his brother started the band Mano Negra .

Have partners verify each other’s work. Small Groups Tell students to think of a famous person and write five statements about their likes and dislikes from that person’s point of view. Tell them to progressively give more clues to the person’s identity and to end with ¿Quién soy? Then, in small groups, have students read their statements aloud for their partners to guess.
