This is a continuation of a previous post about using commercials in the classroom. In Spanish 2, we use the Realidades level 2 textbook. In chapter 2A, the theme is talking about your morning routine, with an emphasis on reflexive verbs.
So, rather than the book audio activities, I decided to use the seven commercials below as listening/speaking/interpretive activities. Students talk about what they see in the commercials, read the transcription aloud, listen and fill in the blanks, interpret the commercial, and finally, try to imitate the speaker(s) of the commercial. Here is the worksheet that I gave to students.
Below each commercial is the cloze activity for each. These commercials include a lot the chapter's vocabulary and provide a lot of opportunity for students to talk about the morning routines. They also give students exposure to a variety of accents and grammatical structures, including some voseo.
If any of this is useful for you, please consider giving back in a Radiohead style format.

Thank you for sharing these amazing resources! When you ask "Students talk about what they see in the commercials", do they do so in Spanish or English? What do you ask them to discuss? Also, what type of directions do you give students when you ask them to "try to imitate the speaker(s) of the commercial"? Many thanks!
ResponderEliminarThey talk in Spanish. First, they usually just say nouns. I play the video while they talk. Then, I will ask them to say what happens (verbs). When I ask them to imitate the speakers, I tell them to be silly and/or serious. It is fun to watch some of them... it also takes the pressure off of them in terms of pronunciation because they just focus on imitating (easier to do!).
EliminarI just started using your commercials in my Spanish 2 class. My students really enjoyed working with them. Thanks for your time and work putting together these resources. The only difficulty that I had was that the Colgate commercial is now private. Do you have another link for that video. I was very surprised how disappointed my students were when I couldn't open the video after we watched Jabón Escudo and worked on it. Gracias, otra vez.
ResponderEliminarThis link should work https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMaUe5JPBNMcEhMZko5YTNXejg/view?usp=sharing Thanks for letting me know!
EliminarThanks, I'll use it next class.
EliminarNatura una also seems to be unavailable on youtube. I found a copy at the following URL. Thanks so much for developing and sharing these resources!

Thanks for letting me know! I just put a link to the commercial in my Google Drive.
EliminarI love to use music in my class. This is the song I've used in the past with the vocabulary and grammar discussed in this blog post. My students like it and I hope yours will too!

Thanks for another great resource! Do you have a worksheet or anything that you use for the song?
EliminarYes I use a simple lyrics sheet with some words missing. Students get to listen to the song every day and fill in the missing words or parts of words. They surprise themselves by how much they can fill in by the third or fourth listen.

I also use a notebook document to fill in parts of the lyrics a little bit each day starting on day 2 or 3 of a new song. I've never shared a notebook document on google docs before so if this doesn't work just let me know and I will be happy to email it to you.
