I found that Dominos pizza has websites in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and other countries. http://www.dominos.com.co. I had the kids surf these sites. This is great because students all love pizza and they get to see how different (or similar) pizzas are in other countries–from the ingredients, to the specials, the prices, and oh the side items! They loved to see all the different side items in different countries. Then once they were familiar with the vocabulary I had them role play–dependiente/cliente. I made up an order form and the “dependiente” had to record the order–”por supuesto todo en espanol!”. Then the “cliente” reviews the order for accuracy and gives the “dependiente” a rating–5 being the best with no mistakes. Then they switch partners. I had them do this for 15-20 minutes. To challenge my advance students I give them roles, like “you are a very picky customer”, “you are in a hurry”, “try and upsell!”. Try it in your classroom and let me know how it goes! Gracias.
@SraSpanglish @lovemysummer Mine don't want to talk about their lives first. Instead they prefer to learn about other cultures, then compare 2 weeks ago

Do you all have any good ideas for teaching “querer + infinitive” to a Special Education Spanish class?
