each group one of the categories in the

which they leave a blank space to be filled in with

one of the words. Then, have groups get together

with another group and exchange the cards. Have

groups complete each other’s sentences. Finally,

ask groups to write several examples for each

word on the back of the corresponding card.

Have students add to the list of colors in the

Recuerda

box by having them create a

bilingual list of shades of color to share with

the rest of the class. Get them started by

suggesting “-ish” shades, such as

azulado

(bluish),

amarillento

(yellowish),

grisáceo

(grayish), and

negruzco

(blackish). Then, have

students use the verb

tirar

to indicate that a

color has a certain hue:

un amarillo fuerte

tirando a naranja

(a bright orangish yellow).

You may establish a time limit and see how

many different shades of color students can

come up with.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES:

Visual-Spatial Intelligence

r

Ask students to look for images of some of

Botero’s paintings of musicians. Have them

select one of these paintings, and then write

a few paragraphs comparing it to Picasso’s

Los tres músicos

. Students should address

the style of each painting, the colors, the

shapes of the figures, and the kinds of

instruments depicted. Students should also

give their opinion on which painting they

prefer and why. Call on students to make a

brief oral presentation to the class, using

their written work as notes.
