Sándwiches

I am always looking for new ways to use 'me gusta' and it's variants in authentic communicative ways. This year my Second Graders discovered a set of plastic sandwich ingredients manipulatives lurking in one of my bins which I had completely forgotten about, and boy did they want to play with them! So, out they came, each child putting together a sándwich we could comment on. This was a great way to practice three simple constructions 'me gusta', 'me gusta mucho' and 'no me gusta' in a genuine activity. As a take off on this, my students made paper sandwiches, as you can see in the photo, and each of us marked the chart as to how we felt about the sandwich they had created. We had such fun and they had the opportunity to take home their creation and share it with their family. Qué rico!
