Essential Question
¿
Cómo nos saludamos y nos despedimos en español?
How do we greet and say goodbye to each other
in Spanish?
Write the question on the board, or create a sentence strip
and place it in a sentence strip chart or attach it to the
wall. Read the question and have students repeat it after
you. Have volunteers try to answer the question. Explain
to students that by the end of the first week of study,
they will be able to greet and say goodbye to each other
in Spanish.
