Overview

This novice mid to novice high Spanish activity introduces students to transportation-related vocabulary using authentic resources. The activity is geared toward younger learners and is separated into three tasks: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational.  Students start by examining a photo of public transportation in Chile. They then identify key vocabulary words while watching a short video clip. Once the words are collected, they conduct a brief poll among classmates regarding transportation preferences. Finally, students illustrate their preferred mode of transportation along with a written caption describing this chosen vocabulary word.
