6. Write the differences between your descriptions and the ones you read on the previous page. To have students establish differences between the way in which daily activities develop in their culture and in other cultures, tell them to reread the descriptions from the previous session. Then, they will read their own descriptions and write the differences (e.g., I use a fiber and not a sponge to wash the dishes, I don’t use an apron, I do my homework at my mother’s office, etc.). Don’t forget that at this point you may allow some Spanish words to help them feel confident enough to express themselves, but always provide them with the words or phrases in English and have them repeat after you. Explain to students the meaning of the word facilities (buildings for a particular purpose). Ask them if the text mentions some facilities (yes; swimming pool, basketball court, soccer field, and ice rink). Have them share what sports facilities exist in their area.

Product: Guessing Game Based on Descriptions
47 Unit 5
In this unit, students will play a guessing game based on descriptions. In order to do it, they should write some descriptions of their own and prepare some questions to ask others. In this lesson, students will work in teams to create a list with activities all of them enjoy doing every day, and they will choose two that they will describe later. Read the first instruction aloud and suggest that they use a dictionary to look up the names of the activities. Monitor while they work to offer any help they may need. Then, read the second instruction and tell them to write the names of the activities they chose in their notebooks. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. What activities do you do every day? Invite students to answer the question in English using the terms they learned during this lesson.
