Teaching the present tense- Pre-Challenge to S2

Students in Pre-Challenge are currently preparing to teach elements of the present tense to S2. Different groups are dealing with -ar verbs, -er, -ir and also reflexives. They've planned their sessions to think about content and engagement, taught the sessions to each other in order to peer assess and then continue to develop their sessions.

Ettah, Jasmine and Jess have been working on the -ar elements and made some Google Slides to explain the steps, creating some great materials which I've put below!

Conjugations back- learning how to use the present tense with "-ar" infinitives

Grammar doesn't have to be dull... To learn how to conjugate (adapt) your infinitives (-ar / -er / -ir, just remember what Buzz Lightyear tells you, "TO infinitive and beyond") using the present tense, in order to describe what you are doing at the moment, please watch the really fun video below.

Before you watch, remember...

yo = I

tú = you (singular)

él = he / ella = she / usted = you (polite, such as to a teacher)

nosotros = we

vosotros = you (plural)

ellos = they / ellas = they / ustedes = you (plural, polite, such as talking to teacherS)

Cry me a verb- more complex present tense forms

For those of you wanting to delve deeper into the more complicated elements of the present tense (to describe what you are doing at the moment), watch this video by the same teacher as made "Conjugations back" (above). See, I told you I'm not THAT loco.
