Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Any vowel with a written accent (a symbol) is stressed (pronounced more heavily and with greater emphasis).
  2. New vocabulary helps us talk about different subjects, like fundraising events.
  3. To say she, he, it with an -er verb, remove -er ending and add -e. To say you, remove -er ending and add -es.
  4. To change a statement into a question, you raise your voice at the end. This is called raised intonation.
  5. Spanish uses two question marks - a regular one at the end, like in English and an upside down one at the start.

Keywords

  • Stress - pronouncing a syllable more heaily than other syllables in a word

  • Accent - symbol added on top of vowels to indicate something about their pronunciation

  • Intonation - rise and fall of the voice in speaking

Common misconception

Vowels with accents don't make any difference in how we pronounce words.

In Spanish, we stress any vowel that has a written accent. These show us the syllable in a word that is pronounced with greater emphasis.

Sometimes, using an action, such as a pretend punch, helps pupils put the emphasis on the correct vowel and syllable. This may be fun to use when reading words with stress accents during the lesson.
