Overview:
This unit consists of the teaching of an introductory level chapter book written in Spanish titled, Peter
va a Colombia. The storys almost exclusive use of the present tense makes it possible for students to
navigate the chapters in the book, understanding the sequence of events in a straightforward,
chronological order. The main goal of the unit is to get students to begin to feel comfortable when
working with longer texts in the target language that may seem daunting without the appropriate
scaffolding. Through the use of TPR-S and role-playing, students will actively engage with
vocabulary from the book that will help them better understand the plot, as well as act out scenes from
the book to provide them even more context for what is happening in the story. The entire 4MAT
cycle may not finish with each lesson, but with each lesson there will be a small continuation from
what was done in the previous lesson, and by the fourth and fifth lessons, much less time will be spent
in the earlier quadrants, and more time will be focused on the students productions.
