TEACHER PAGE Before the podcast
Talk about various families, and family members with the class. And talk about what they like to receive as presents for a birthday. See example questions on following page to start asking students in Spanish about their families. If a student is reluctant to talk about his/her own family, allow them to choose a TV family, or book family, and talk about characters from that story instead. In some Hispanic families, there is a reluctance to share personal information about the family. And aunts, uncles, cousins may be considered part of the immediate family.
Cultural note: In English, when we say ‘last name,’ we really mean ‘surname.’ In Spanish, ‘surname’ is ‘apellido.’ ‘Apellido’ does not mean ‘last name.’ Many Hispanics use 2 ‘apellidos’ (surnames). The first surname is the surname of the father, and the second is the surname of the mother. So, we need to be careful about asking a student for his/her ‘last’ name. If he/she responds with the ‘last’ name by position of how he/she writes his/her name, we will be given the mother’s surname, not the father’s.
Example:
Father’s name: Tomás Pérez Rodriguez Mother’s name: María Quiñones Alamo Child’s name: José Pérez Quiñones
So, in our class roster, José should be alphabetized under Pérez, his father’s first surname. Some schools understand this custom, and some do not. So when a student transfers from another school, he/she may be added to the roster incorrectly.
For more information: http://perez.cs.vt.edu/twolastnames During the podcast
This is a longer story. Pause as needed to check student understanding. Or, break into 2 separate sessions.
Focus on the family vocabulary that your students are ready to learn. If they already know most of the words in the podcast, then you can add hijo (son), and hija (daughter). Otherwise, work on parents, grandparents, brother and sister.
After the podcast (or as a break)
Sing Happy Birthday in Spanish as practice. (Add a Spanish verse whenever you sing to someone on his/her birthday in class.)
Feliz Cumpleaños (Happy Birthday) Song Lyrics
Feliz cumpleaños a ti, Feliz cumpleaños a ti,
Feliz cumpleaños a __________ (person’s name) Feliz cumpleaños a ti.
¿Cuántos años tienes tú? (How old are you? Literally, How many years do you have?) ¿Cuántos años tienes tú?
¿Cuántos años tienes ___________? ¿Cuántos años tienes tú?
Asking students about their families. Vary the questions and family relationships based on the age of your students, and their ability to understand these relationships.
¿Quién tiene …. Who has? un hermano? a brother una hermana? a sister dos hermanos? 2 brothers dos hermanas? 2 sisters
¿Cómo se llama … What is the name of…. tu madre? your mother
tu padre? your father
tu(s) hermana(s)? your sister(s) tu(s) hermano(s)? your brother(s) tu tío? your uncle
tu tía? your aunt
tu abuelo? your grandfather tu abuela? your grandmother
If you would like to talk about your own family, here is an example of how you could do so.
En mi familia, somos 5. (In my family, we are five. That means, there are 5 people in my family.) Or, Hay 5 en my familia. (There are 5 in my family.)
Tengo 2 hermanos. (I have 2 brothers.)
Un hermano se llama Tom. El otro hermano se llama George. (One brother is named Tom. The other brother is named George.)
