The slides are color coded per stem change so play who can spot the family member quickest, spelling games.
specially useful when learning present tense and expand to subjunctives.
NEW - personal design to teach the subjunctive, not a WEIRDO in sight.
created the personality of the moody cat, this character promises to teach the subjunctive and gives you your own support card, access to a learning app sorting game to embed the triggers.
List of triggers can be printed as a learning tool and interactive wheels have been added to power point so no need for internet connection, the link to the wheels have been added to give you full access via the internet should you prefer to use them separately.
a gap fill exercise and plenty of opportunities to use the subjuntive is given as each category has its own wheel and slide as well as a plenty of plenary sections with May the cat being her moody self where you can add sentences using the triggers depending on the image you see.
It has been a great resource and my students love it. they have succeded and apply the subjunctive accurately, this is the introductory pack and it has plenty of opportunity to practice online on the games created with learning apps.
I designed the method as the ones out there did not seem to help the students to feel the subjunctive as its triggers are endless, with this they remember May and her promise and try to see where the idea sits so the categories help as they make sense.
INCLUDES 42 SLIDES - CONJUGATING TABLE - TRIGGER LIST TABLE - 4 ONLINE INTERACTIVE GAMES AND 6 WHEELS DECIDE.
Power point with over 50 slides, showing the most common verbs that trigger another verb in an infinitive. verbs like tener ganas de / hay que/ saber /me gusta et all. The pack contains some of the most common and most difficult conjugations allowing students to impress in their exams memorising the most useful and accompanying them with infinitive verbs that they may other wise not know how to conjugate.
with examples such as card ME FALTO + INFINITIVE VERB THEN EXAMPLES LIKE me faltó comprar … me hubiera gustado/molestado comprar … etc
I have used this successfully and printed them as 9 cards per A4 which can then be given as handouts and/or printed to cut and make key rings for students to use when preparing writings, self study, in class for games or as a teaching aid.
