Pre-reading writing prompt for discussion: El Capítulo 9 de El Nuevo Houdini se llama “Una foto especial”. ¿Quién va a estar en la foto? ¿Quién va a sacar la foto? ¿Qué van a estar haciendo las personas en la foto?
Students did the pre-reading activity, and sent the images that they created to me.
I showed each image to the class, and we discussed “¿Por qué es una foto especial?”
I read the chapter aloud to the students.
We discussed the questions included in the Teacher’s Guide
Students re-read the chapter and completed this reading guide.
Students worked in pairs or groups of three students to complete the Categorías activity in the Teacher’s Guide. I made a re-usable class set of the pieces so that I can use it year after year!
I projected the reading from the Teacher’s Guide about Adolescentes en México, and we read and discussed it as a class, comparing their lives to the lives of my students.
