Ex: ¿Compartes muchos intereses con tus amigos? ¿Lees en la biblioteca todos los días? ¿Crees que es importante leer aparte de las clases? • To challenge students, ask them to write a response from Ángel. Encourage them to use lesson vocabulary. 5 Teaching Tip You may want to have students interview a classmate about his or her family. 5 Expansion • Ask students questions about their friends’ families. ¿Tu amigo/a tiene una familia pequeña o grande? ¿Cuántos hermanos/as tiene tu amigo/a? • Have students choose one of their friend’s family members and write a more detailed description. 6 Teaching Tips • Have a volunteer read the proverb aloud. Help students understand the inverted word order in the first part. Explain that this is a common literary technique. Have a volunteer restate the first part in a colloquial manner (El dinero tiene dos andares). • Have students discuss their interpretation of the proverb. Ask heritage speakers if they have heard this proverb or if they know of similar ones. Game Create two Mad-Libs-style paragraphs that have blanks where the nouns and descriptive adjectives should be. Underneath each blank, indicate the type of word needed. Ex: ____ (singular, feminine adjective) Give each pair a set of paragraphs and have them take turns asking their partner to supply the missing words. Tell them they can use any nouns or adjectives that they have learned up to this point. When students have finished, ask them to read their paragraphs aloud. Have the class vote for the funniest one. Extra Practice Name tener expressions and have students say what they or family members do in that situation. Ex: tener hambre (Cuando tengo hambre, como pizza. Cuando mis hermanos tienen hambre, comen en McDonald’s.); tener prisa (Cuando mi padre tiene prisa, toma el autobús.)
