68 Instructor’s Manual • Lesson Two Section Goals In Lectura , students will: • learn to use text formats to predict content • read documents in Spanish KEY STANDARDS Communication Interpretive Communication (Cognados, Examinar el texto, ¿Cierto o falso?) Connections Acquiring Information and Diverse Perspectives (Teaching options) Comparisons Language Comparisons (Cognados) Estrategia Introduce the strategy. Point out that many documents have easily identifiable formats that can help readers predict content. Have students look at the document in the Estrategia box, and ask them to name the recognizable elements: (days of the week, time, classes). Ask what kind of document it is (a student’s weekly schedule). Cognados Have pairs of students scan ¡Español en Madrid! and identify cognates and guess their meanings. Examinar el texto Ask students what type of information is contained in ¡Español en Madrid! (It is a brochure for an intensive Spanish-language summer program.) Discuss elements of the recognizable format that helped them predict the content, such as the headings, the lists of courses, and the course schedule with dates. TEACHING OPTIONS Extra Practice For homework, ask students to write a weekly schedule ( horario semanal ) of a friend or family member. Ask them to label the days of the week in Spanish and add notes for that person’s appointments and activities as well. In class, ask students questions about the schedules they wrote. Ex: ¿Qué clase toma _____ hoy? ¿Trabaja _____ manaña? ¿Cuántos días trabaja _____ esta semana? Heritage Speakers Ask heritage speakers who have attended a school in the Spanish-speaking world to describe their schedule there, comparing and contrasting it with their schedule now. Invite them to make other comparisons between U.S. or Canadian institutions and those in the Spanish-speaking world. adelante 2 Después de leer Correspondencias Provide the letter of each item in Column B that matches the words in Column A. 1. profesores 2. vivienda 3.

For instance, invitations, greeting cards, and classified ads follow an easily identifiable format, which usually gives you a general idea of the information they contain. Look at the text and identify it based on its format. If you guessed that this is a page from a student’s schedule, you are correct. You can now infer that the document contains information about a student’s weekly schedule, including days, times, and activities. Cognados Make a list of the cognates in the text and guess their English meanings. What do cognates reveal about the content of the document? Examinar el texto Look at the format of the document entitled ¡Español en Madrid! What type of text is it? What information do you expect to find in this type of document? ¡ E S PAÑOL EN MADR I D !
