Title | Grammar Patterns in English and Spanish |
Body | By Mary Hudgens Henderson, University of New Mexico Lesson adapted from Language Variation and Style-Shifting for Fifth Graders curriculum Target Audience This lesson was originally written for Spanish-English bilingual 5th graders in the US, although it can be adapted for other levels of students (and other languages). If necessary, review parts of speech with students (verbs, adjectives, nouns, pronouns, adverbs). Rationale In this lesson, students compare and contrast grammatical patterns in their two languages to increase metalinguistic awareness. This makes explicit what students may have only known implicitly before: the two languages each achieve the same communicative goal. Students recognize that the two languages have similarities and differences in the grammar, and one grammar pattern is not inherently superior to the other. Objective Students will compare and contrast grammatical patterns in English and Spanish to increase metalinguistic awareness.
