      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can respond to a range of travel-based role-plays.

      Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

      Key learning points

      1. It is important to respond to role-play prompts with a short phrase or sentence.
      2. Interrogatives can be used to ask questions in a role-play scenario.
      3. Useful interrogatives in Spanish are: '¿cuándo?', '¿cómo?', '¿dónde?', '¿cuánto?', '¿qué?' and '¿hay?'.

      Keywords

      • Modal verb - verb of necessity or possibility used with a 2nd verb in the infinitive, e.g. 'must', 'can', 'want'

      • Interrogative - word used to ask a question

      Common misconception

      I should give long, developed answers to role-play prompts.

      It is not necessary to give long, developed answers to role-play prompts. It is best to respond using a short phrase or sentence.

      Teacher tip

      Learning Cycle 1 contains a Foundation-Tier-style role-play whereas Learning Cycle 2 contains a Higher-Tier-style role-play, requiring students to ask two questions and communicate in a tense other than the present.
