of health
- To
discuss health issues in both the United
States and the Hispanic world
Notes
- Use
this activity after students have completed
the Lecturas culturales section
on pages 246-247 of the textbook.
- Remind
students to apply their knowledge of healthy
and unhealthy behaviors along with their
understanding of cognates to determine
the meaning of unfamiliar words they may
encounter as they work through this activity.
- You
may wish to give students the meanings
of the following words so that they can
decipher the title of each Web page more
easily:
| |
mayor |
older |
| |
serás |
you
will be |
| |
sigue |
follow |
| |
camino |
path
or road |
| |
vejez |
old
age |
- The
tú form of the future tense
appears frequently throughout the Web
pages the students will be viewing. Point
out to them that when they see infinitive
+ ás = you (familiar) will
do something.
Expansion
- Combine
the final copies of the Web pages that
students are asked to create in the Después
de navegar section of this activity
and post them on your school’s Web site.
If you do not have access to the Internet,
allow the students to "publish" their
pages by creating posters of them that
can be displayed in the classroom and/or
shared with the school’s health class.
- Have
students draw and label their own versions
of Sigue el camino para una mala vejez
or of Sigue el camino para una
buena vejez.
- In
Actividad comunicativa B, Virtudes
y defectos, page 239 of the textbook,
students create a description of a fictitious
person with many virtues and a fictitious
person with many defects or faults. Have
them incorporate good and bad health habits
that they find listed on the Web site.
