This is a lesson that introduces the places in the city and the ways of transportation as well as the conjugation of the verb ir (to go) and the use of the preposition a in front of the definite articles el, la, los and las.
The lesson evolves around the story of a young girl Zoe, who has to leave the city, where she grew up due to a war, and she marks all her favorite places in the city on a map that she takes with her. It is based on the book El mapa de los buenos momentos by Fran Nuño and Zuzanna Celej.

Two Pear Deck interactive activities- one to practice the vocabulary and the other with comprehension questions (I have included a link to the Google slides, which is required for the Pear Deck- if you cannot do the activity as a Pear Deck, you could do it as a class discussion);
Flash cards of the vocabulary for places in the city and transportation that the students have to label in Spanish;
Four grammar activities with ir a…
An independent activity
A Jeopardy game.
