FRASES MAGICAS POR EL DIA DE LA MADRE
FRASES MAGICAS
Thank you for coming over to see Pete and Karla's Frases Mágicas! I would like to thank my colleague Karla for translating my original French version of this activity into Spanish. You have our permission to print it out for use in your class.
Greetings from Whitby and Courtice, Ontario, Canada.
I hope that your students enjoy this activity. You will be amazed at how much writing they do!The first thing which you will see in a few seconds is an explanation on how to use Frases Mágicas.
I tell the students that any group which writes sentences equalling 20 points or more will receive a reward (you decide on the reward). Please note that it is 20 points and NOT 20 sentences.
I find that telling the students that the team which gets the most points will receive a reward is not such a good idea because this creates a civil war of teams.
Here is the EXPLANATION of how Frases Mágicas works:
Fráses Mágicas is another way to involve your students in cooperative learning and have fun manipulating new vocabulary and grammar.
The idea is simple and the results amazing as you discover how inventive your students can be! You will also note with interest how much writing they do!
Here's how it works. Please refer to the table beneath
Divide the students into groups of two. One student will compose two sentences and the other will write them. The one composing will also check to ensure that the spelling is correct. After two sentences have been written the roles of the creator and writer are reversed and so on and so on.
Students start in the STAR box - here it is "Los niños". They then compose a sentence ie. "Los niños van a escribir un poema por sus madre." They have come out of a star box and earn two (2) points.
They may, however, compose the following sentence. "Los niños enviaron un ramo de flores." For this they earn one (1) point because they did not exit through a star box.
Students are not allowd to jump boxes. They must always use boxes which touch each other. Students write sentences on the lines provided beneath the table. You could have 15 lines (I have only put two in the interest of conserving space.) Students, of course, are allowed to compose as many sentences as they wish and can simply turn over the page to do so.
Here is the table!
