Teacher tip
Hold up one object for me gusta and two for me gustan, and have the class say the right one out loud.
How to use it
- Read each finished sentence out loud so kids hear when it sounds right.
- Teach one rule at a time and give two examples before kids try one.
- Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Changing the noun but not the describing word: los gatos blanco should be los gatos blancos.
Talk about it
- What changes when there is more than one?
- Where could you use this word outside of school?
