| Title | Bell-Ringers for Dictionary Skills Practice |
| Body | Some Spanish teachers on the FLTEACH listserv were recently playing with rhyming dictionaries and came up with the following activities which might be useful for practicing dictionary skills, vocabulary, or simply for occupying those students who arrive or finish early. ---- Translate into Spanish: The mouth of the crazy seal touches the rock. The crazy seal touches the wine glass of soup. The crazy seal touches the wet pillow. The crazy seal touches the beer on Teresas head. The crazy seal paints the fifth ribbon with ink. The crazy seal takes a nap at Celestas party. The crazy seal calls the llama in the bed of my sisters nanny. The crazy seal touches the fine Chinese wine in the road. The crazy seal touches the money in the fireman's hat. The crazy seal loves the apple on the German porcelain. The crazy seal smiled at the pious uncle of mine. The crazy and good-looking seal escapes from the potato with the map. Here is a Spanish-English rhyming dictionary I found: http://www.alcor.com.au/rhyming_dictionary.asp Widergren, P.R. A day in the life of the crazy seal. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Oct. 2005). ---- Just a suggestion that this might be an entry way into a cultural / literary contrast, as Spanish verses may use asonance rhyming, which many students don't recognize as rhymes, as in "corazón" with "arroz". Barrueta, M. A day in the life of the crazy seal. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Oct. 2005). |
