Why this why now
In this unit, pupils anchor their knowledge of 'ir' and 'ser' in the preterite to learn about a family's migration. Pupils expand their knowledge of 'ir' in the preterite by adding plural forms, and contrast 'ir' and 'ser' in the preterite, as this is an area of linguistic difficulty. Pupils learn adjective patterns for nationality, and refresh nominalising masculine adjectives to form languages, in the context of discussing cultural background and national identity. They apply knowledge of 'ser' in all persons to talk further about identity.

- Pupils know subject pronouns 'yo', 'tú', 'él', 'ella', 'nosotros', 'nosotras', 'vosotros', 'vosotras', 'ellos', 'ellas' and which contexts they should be used.
- Pupils know possessive adjectives 'nuestro', 'nuestra', 'nuestros', 'nuestras'.
- Pupils know rules one, two, and three for formation of feminine nouns.
- Pupils know all persons of 'ser' in the present tense.
- Pupils know how to nominalise masculine adjectives for languages.
- Pupils know sound-symbol correspondence [ch] and diphthongs [ia], [ie], [ai], [ei], [ue].
