Students will answer questions that review what we learned yesterday on the board in Spanish Review the family vocabulary that students have learned using a PowerPoint presentation. Ask students questions about their own families in Spanish. Students will create a family tree using the vocabulary, the verb “to have” and possessive adjectives. They will draw the tree and also write a sentence describing each person. They will have to say who the person is in relation to them, what their name is, and how old they are. Put away materials, let students know they may finish for homework. If enough time remains throw around a koosh ball and ask students questions about their families. Finish sentences and family tree if they did not complete it in class.
