Why this why now
Pupils will already know first person plural -ar and -er verbs and opinion verbs ‘amar’ and ‘odiar’. This unit secures this knowledge first, before introducing 2-verb structures with opinion verbs, then modal verbs ‘deber’ and ‘querer’. This is the final new structure pupils learn in the course, so knowledge is developed over several lessons in the unit. In the latter part of this unit pupils extend their knowledge by responding creatively in speaking and writing to an authentic poem with a 2-verb structure as its linguistic anchor, ‘Quiero ver una vaca’ by Enrique Fierro.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know verbs 'amar' and 'odiar'.
- Pupils know singular and plural verb endings for regular -ar and -er verbs.
