Timing: 2 minutes

Aim: To introduce/consolidate SSC [qui]

Procedure:

Introduce and elicit the pronunciation of the individual SSC [qui] and then the source word again ‘quiero’ (with gesture, if using).
Then present and elicit the pronunciation of the five cluster words.�

The cluster words have been chosen for their high-frequency, from a range of word classes, with the SSC (where possible) positioned within a variety of syllables within the words (e.g. initial, 2^nd, final etc.). Additionally, we have tried to use words that build cumulatively on previously taught SSCs (see the Phonics Teaching Sequence document) and do not include new SSCs. Where new SSCs are used, they are often consonants which have a similar symbol-sound correspondence in English.�

Word frequency (1 is the most frequent word in Spanish): �quiero [>5000]; izquierda [1352]; quince [1215]; equipo [373]; tranquilo [1073]; ¿quién? [289]�Source: Davies, M. & Davies, K. (2018). A frequency dictionary of Spanish: Core vocabulary for learners (2nd ed.). Routledge: London

Timing: 8 minutes

Aim: to practise mapping sound to spelling for SSCs [que] and [qui]

Procedure:

1. Students listen to audio.

2. Students tick ‘que’ or ‘qui’.

3. They then write the missing letters themselves and the English translation.

Note: Make sure that students remember the accent when writing ‘¿qué?’.

These are high-frequency words that some students will acquire incidentally, but are not counted within the core expected learning of 360 words in Y7. Students should therefore not think of the additional challenge of translating into English as a test, but as an additional opportunity.

Phonics activity (in pairs)

Timing: 7 minutes

Aim: to practise saying words with SSCs [que] and [qui]

Procedure:

There are 5 words for each of 3 SSCs (QUE, QUI, CA):
Start with all cards face down. Student A and B take turns to turn over one card at time.
The student turning over the card says the word aloud each time they turn one over.
S/he then puts the card into one of three piles: 1) QUE 2) QUI 3) CA
There is only one pile for each SSC (it is a pile shared by each pair). The student who adds the 4^th card in any category wins!

Notes:

Printer-friendly version of these cards also available in Word document.
These cards contain phonics practice words for this and two previous weeks in NCELP SoW, with the addition of ‘caminar’ and ‘cama’, included to provide additional decoding practice.

Frase	¿Qué significa?

El equipo está en el estadio a la izquierda del aeropuerto.

¿Quién quiere viajar en avión por la noche?

When do I do fifteen drawings for homework?

They want to be calm here at the station.

We are in the east but the west is on the left.

Note. el estadio = stadium; el avión = plane

Timing: 8 minutes

Aim: to practise recognising and spelling SSC ‘qui’.

Procedure:

Teachers click on the number buttons to play the recordings.
Students listen and tally how many [qui] SSCs they hear in each recording and tick the appropriate column.
Answers are shown by clicking in order.
In the second part of the activity, students need to listen and transcribe the Spanish sentence, before then translating it. Teachers click to show this second grid. Teachers may need to play the recording several times.

Transcript:

¿Quién quiere viajar en avión por la noche?
¿Cuándo hago quince dibujos de deberes?
Quieren estar tranquilos aquí en la estación;
Estamos en el este pero el oeste está a la izquierda;

Phonics and vocabulary��Timing: 5 minutes.

Aim: To revisit SSC [qui] and contrast it with [que]. To also revisit previously taught vocabulary.

Procedure:�1. Students listen to each sentence.

2. Students write down the words with [qui] in the first column and the words with [que] in the second column.

3. Students write the meaning of known words in English. The meaning of unknown words is already given in the table. The meanings of these unknown words may be learnt incidentally.

Note: Unknown words are included to ensure that SSC knowledge is needed to accurately spell some of the words. Other target words have been used in earlier phonics and/or vocabulary activities, so the task is also a chance to consolidate understanding of the meaning of these words.

A game of pairs (whole-class activity)

Timing: 7 minutes (slides 16-17)

Aim: Students match words based on the SSC [que] and [qui].

Procedure:

1. The teacher selects a number by clicking on it.

2. Students say the word in choral response.

3. The teacher selects a second number by clicking on it.

4. Students say the word in choral response.

5. If a match is made i.e., both words have the same SSC (either [qui] or [que]), the teacher leaves the text box with the words visible on the board.

6. If a match is not made, the teacher clicks on the text box and the number will reappear, covering back up the word.

7. Some students will begin to memorize where matches could be made. Teachers could encourage students to give the numbers but making sure that students say the target word as well.

Students then play in pairs (see next slide for student cards, also available as a Word document.)

Notes:

The words selected for the activity are a mix of known and unknown words. Some words were only seen in the phonics activity in lesson 1 of this sequence (paquete, quinto, esquina, ataque, máquina). The meanings of these high-frequency words may be learnt incidentally. Others are part of the core vocabulary learnt in the SoW (querer, quedar, quince, pequeño, izquierda).
Teachers could also consider asking students about the word classes of these words (and of those seen in the next activity), if desired. This would build on the word class recognition activity in lesson 1.

¿Es ‘eres’ o ‘sois’?

También escribe ‘qui’ o ‘gui’, según el lugar.

Guinea Ecuatorial en el este de África era parte del imperio español hasta el 1968.

San Guillermo es un pueblo en las Filipinas.

El país era parte del imperio español hasta 1898.

Timing: 7 minutes

Aim:

to practise connecting ‘eres’ and ‘sois’ to their meanings (listening activity)
to practise aural recognition of SSCs [qui] and [gui]

Procedure:

Click to bring up the instructions.
Click the orange button to play the audio for the first time.
Click to reveal each answer and give feedback.
Play the audio again. This time, students write down ‘qui’ or ‘gui’, depending on the place name.
Click to reveal the answers to the second part of the activity.

Notes:

i. to challenge more able students, ask them to transcribe the whole word (the slide can easily be adapted to remove the gapped words).

ii. Spanish remains an official language of Ecuatorial Guinea today (in addition to French and Portuguese). 87.7% of the population speak Spanish as a first or second language (source: https://cvc.cervantes.es/lengua/anuario/anuario_06-07/pdf/paises_08.pdf)

iii. Spanish is a ‘recognised’ language in the Phillipines, meaning that it is “promoted on a voluntary and optional basis”. The official languages are English and Filipino. The country was named “Felipinas” after Philip II of Spain in 1542 and has a number of Spanish place names.
