My "Man Craft" AKA: "Maft"

2/9/2016

3 Comments

 

This past week, my Spanish 1 class made this foldable "craft" to help my students keep straight the differences between possessive adjectives, direct object pronouns, subject pronouns, and articles. Within 5 months, students have to understand the different spellings, uses, and meanings of the following words: Mi, tu, su, nuestro, me, te, lo, la, los, las, nos, yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros, ustedes, ellos, ellas, el, los, las, la.  
​
​ ¡AYE CHIHUAHUA!  ¡Me duele la cabeza!


When I introduce this foldable learning tool,  I tell my students we are going to have arts and crafts time.  It involves folding and cutting, that's a craft right? At times, this has lead to the female students in my class insisting, "this isn't a real craft... it's a man craft!".  AKA, "Maft" Check out this YouTube video for how to construct the foldable "craft".

For fun, we turned ours into an arts and crafts competition.  Students could decorate their "craft", and enter it into one of four categories:
-Manliest
-Most Creative
-Most Decorated
-Prettiest
​Check out some of the finished products!

So, for those of us who think this is a great organizer, but don't understand what to write on the space provided, can you please enlighten us?
Ex. Direct object pronouns??
Thanks!

So sorry for the late response on this! I will post a picture of the inside of how I organized it tomorrow. However, it is a word doc so you could edit it however you'd like!
