Grammar Carousel in Spanish 1-2


The 'Grammar Carousel' activity in Dr. Jacobson's Spanish classes provided students an opportunity to communicate with one another through the target language by sharing questions and answers reflecting students' knowledge of Direct Object Pronouns and Stem-changing verbs.  Students listened to classic songs such as Cielito Lindo, Guadalajara, De Colores and Guantanamera pausing when the music stopped and presenting a question to a classmate who then responded.  Students who answered correctly received a 'sello cultural' from their partner.  The combined aspects of music and interaction as part of the lesson provided an enjoyable format through which to practice current grammatical concepts.
