Hola Ricardo - pregunta - ¿qué quieres decir con esto?: 2. After, students answer comprehension Q's and switch spots every 1, 2 or 3 Q's. There were 12 q's for our story. what do you mean by "switch spots"? do they find a new partner? switch roles with existing partner? Gracias!

We used a short story from the lit book, 21 minicuentos. You can purchase it on Teacher's Discovery website (www.teachersdiscovery.com<http://www.teachersdiscovery.com/>) 1. Students pair up and read the story out loud and then negociate meaning between each other for the vocab words they choose from the story, with their partner. (for example: Que es un genio?) 2. After, students answer comprehension Q's and switch spots every 1, 2 or 3 Q's. There were 12 q's for our story. 3. Have the students tell their partner the story in their own words. Do and repeat if you wish. 4. Finally, the teacher gives a short writing assignment. I included a picture as part of the assignment. I found this way of utilizing reading in the classroom to be highly effective. Enjoy!
