After a couple of days outside reading, we came back in to review.
Because Chapter 7 mentions food a few times, I decided it would be a good day to learn about some Bolivian cuisine. I used the slide show provided in the Teacher's Guide, but you could definitely find photos on Google Images or Flickr. My class did a food unit a while ago, so this was the perfect opportunity to review. I showed a photo of a particular food and asked "¿Qué hay en la foto?" or "¿Qué tiene la comida?" and students called out ingredients they saw. After naming all the ingredients, I would give a brief description of the food (such as Pique a lo Macho being "un poco picante") or an interesting fact (like Anticuchos being made from "el corazón de una vaca"). At the end, we briefly compared Bolivian food to Mexican food and Bolivian food to U.S. cuisine. The students started out telling me that Bolivian food was more like Mexican food, until they realized they had no evidence to back that up. Brains are strange.
After viewing foods, we played a review game. I wanted to try "El juego del botón" from the TG, but the students begged to play "Silla caliente" again, so that's what we did. The first round of questions was about the text, and the second round of questions was about the foods from the slideshow.
