Mastering Wants in Spanish: Practice Activity

Activity Overview

This activity is focused on learning to ask for, and get, what you want. To reinforce students' learning, have them create a storyboard that shows the dialogue of a person going back-to-school shopping. To keep students on track, it is a good idea to provide a list of exactly what you expect them to use for vocabulary from the chapter. Either way, getting students to create and use the vocabulary, conjugation, and phrases will enhance their practical knowledge and fluency.

Suggested Focus Areas

Describe the color, fit, and price of clothes
Ask about and buy clothes
Tell where and when you bought clothes and how much you paid for them
