Teaching Suggestions
DEVELOPING LEARNERS

For more practice listening and writing using
the vocabulary for parts of a house and
furniture, do a dictation activity in class.
D
Ask students to write the numbers 1–5 on a
piece of paper in preparation for a dictation
of five sentences in Spanish.

At the end, have students switch papers with
a partner, then write the correct answers on
the board so that students can verify their
partner’s answers. Then ask students to
return the sheets to the original writers.
EXPANDING LEARNERS

Draw a picture of a house with its different
rooms. Then ask students to tell you what
rooms are next to each other:
La cocina está
al lado del comedor

Then expand the activity with two new
phrases to express where something is
located:
está a la izquierda de (del, de la),
