We had so much fun today in Spanish 2! It’s Friday. There are only three Fridays of class time remaining. Spring has been very late to arrive and it just hasn’t warmed up like normal. EVERYONE has the jitters. Including me!
So today, as a review activity we played Write Draw Pass. Martina Bex has awesome materials to go along with this here, but the directions are very easy. So easy, that you can stay in the target language 100% of the time.
WRITE / PASS
First, students write a complete sentence about anything (we wrote about an event that occurred in one of the chapters of La Vampirata). Then, pass the paper to the right. My room has such a strange setup that some sections passed in a serpent formation and others in an oval. Do whatever works for your room!
DRAW / PASS
The second student draws an image of the sentence, comic-style. When finished, they fold back the original sentence so that the only thing showing is the drawing. Then, pass the paper again.
REPEAT
The third student then has to write a sentence that describes the drawing. They fold the image back so that only the drawing can be seen. Then they pass the paper.
The fourth student draws what that sentence says, comic-style. They fold the image back so only the drawing can be seen. Then they pass the paper. At this point, the giggling begins…
The fifth student writes a sentence that describes the drawing, folds the paper, and passes again.
The sixth student draws an image for that sentence, folds the paper one last time, and passes. And now, they are really getting into it because they want to see what the final sentence will say.
The seventh student writes a sentence to go with the drawing, then passes the paper to the original author. The hilarity that follows is so much fun to watch!
