Step 8. Fifth Activity:. Pair Work. Information gap activity: Students are grouped in pairs. Each pair is given
version A and B of Marias daily routine described in five pictures. Each student is missing two activities and is
able only to see the times at what the activities are done. The students are instructed not to show their picture to
his or her partner, but rather use the model question Qu hace ella a las.? In order to find the missing
information. (See enclosed photocopy version A and B.)

Step 9. Sixth Activity:. The teacher puts up the transparency La rutina diaria de Adriana and the students tell
what she is doing in each frame as the teacher points to it (see enclosed transparency)

Step 10. Seventh Activity:. Closing: The teacher takes down the picture files and strips from the board
and holds up the pictures one by one saying Qu hace?

Homework. Students will write daily routines corresponding to the pictures in Qu hacen las siguientes
personas? handout, front and back and they will do exercise 3 on page 174 of their textbook (See enclosed
