    Work with a classmate to construct each other’s family trees (real or imagined). Each partner creates the other’s tree based on the information provided by the partner. Make sure to include names and each person’s relation to your partner. While working together, try to use as much Spanish as possible.

    Paso 2.

    How does your partner’s family tree compare to Mariana’s? How does it compare to your family tree? Are there any similarities? Are there any differences? If so, explain. Be ready to present your work to the rest of the class.

     


    Preparación comunicativa 4: ¿Hay una persona en tu familia?

Use this list to ask your partner if these adjectives describe anyone in their family. Use as much Spanish as possible and take turns asking each other about your families.

    Modelo:

    E2: Sí, mis primos son simpáticos. Se llaman Alfredo y Gloria.
