T elicits things you can have on a pizza. She uses this activity to revise vocabulary.
T Asks focus questions: How many things are on the pizza? What are they?They
listen to the chant.
T checks the answers and sticks flashcards on the board in the order of the chant.
Children 'read' the flashcards and say the chant with the teacher
Children practise the chant in pairs,
Children write the chant using the flashcards as a prompt. They then check spelling in
pairs and with the whole class.
T gives out a handout with a picture of an empty pizza frame. Children secretly choose
three food items from the flashcards on the board and draw or write the names on the
pizza.
Pizza partner: Children find their pizza partner, ie someone with the same pizza
ingredients as themselves. They ask in groups eg Pl: Have you got bacon on your
pizza? P2: Yes, I have.
Once they've found their partner, children invent a name for their pizza, eg the Super
giant pizza and write or complete a simple description, eg The Super giant pizza has
got cheese, bacon and sausages. It's delicious!
The class make a class menu of all the different pizzas.
Children prepare and act out a role play in a pizza restaurant,

37. MOLINA CAMPOS. Class 2
T refers to Molina Campos.
T asks ss about different members of their family. T refers to the
fact that Molina Campos is very well known because he painted our
landscapes in the province of Buenos Aires. T tells ss that Molina
Campos in his paintings painted first the sky and the land and then
he added the houses and trees and then the rest. T asks ss to
speculate about that. She asks them why they think he did that. T
refers to the landscape as very important to identify his pictures in
our land.
T posts pictures of landscapes by Molina Campos and asks ss to
describe them.
Después de la lluvia

T elicits answers to the following questions:
1. What time of the day is it? (It´s the morning/ afternoon/ evening
/midday /dusk/dawn)
2. What´s the weather like? (It´s cold and sunny….)
3. What season is it? (It´s spring, summer, etc..)
38. MOLINA CAMPOS. Class 2 (cont.)
Then T elicits: Which one is your favourite? (My favourite picture
is…/ I really like…)
Then T starts referring to the people in the pictures showing some
more pictures (T recycles previous questions and asks for physical
descriptions) and then introduces speculating what the characters
are doing, introducing language as ss guess the actions.
Ss play a guessing game with the teacher: T covers the pictures,
she takes one and starts describing it, ss have to provide the title of
the picture. Then, the other way about: T provides the title and ss
have to guess what the character is doing.
Selected pictures: La siesta, Misia Duvige, el Mate y el amor,
Pampa mansa, A trabajar se ha dicho, el ranchito, noche de luna,
mateando, Va a salir lindo, el truco, a la escuela, Payada a
contrapunto, los cuentos del abuelo, el boliche del ombú, boleando,
el pericón.
As Homework T asks ss to draw their own pictures as if they were
Molina Campos. She provides them with a list of titles of real
pictures. The ss are expected to bring their own works next class
(these will be done in the Arts class since the Arts teacher is
involved in the project as well) The list of titles the teacher gives
are: El gato, Madre, El santo de la patrona, El payador

42. Draw the picture according to the
description. Add what is missing
In this picture I can see two gauchos.
They are riding horses. One of the
horses is jumping in the air. One of
the men is playing a guitar. There are
two houses in the distance and a
tree. The weather is sunny and hot.
43. The Spanish Teacher takes the children to
the library and asks them to look for books,
magazines or any other publication that
talks about Gauchos and our traditions in
the countryside of the province of Buenos
Aires. They draw charts on the materials
they have found. T selects Martín Fierro
and Don Segundo Sombra to work with in
class. She selects some extracts from
Segundo Sombra in which the characters
depicted by Molina Campos will appear.
44. T works in class with the pictures. First, she helps
the children describe the characters imagining
what they think the characters looked like,
scaffolding language and revising vocabulary and
referring to the descriptions children know from the
novel. Then teacher shows the children Molina
Campos´ pictures and children play a guessing
game with the pictures. Then, they write in their
notebooks a description of another character in the
novel and they draw their own pictures.
