VAMOS UNIT 1: CHOCOLATE
Unit 1 of The Vamos Curriculum assumes that students have no prior exposure to Spanish. Each day is filled with communicative, target language activities that build connections within the classroom and between the classroom and the outside world.
- Core Verbs: es, le gusta, prefiere, dice
- Featured Country: Mexico
- Cultural Focus: Chocolate's origin in Aztec culture
Throughout the course of this unit students will learn an authentic rhythm hand game, communicate about their preferences, engage in cooperative storytelling, play games, learn about world geography, and learn facts about Mexico and Chocolate: all in the target language!
Content is scaffolded to build confidence in students as they get their first taste of a language class!
