Metalinguistic Focus Cognates

Area of Focus: Morphology (Word formation)

Bridge Part 1 Students will create a list of words just

Spanish learned in the language of instruction
( Spanish)
Bridge Part 2 After generating the Spanish Bridge Chart
Transfer of knowledge and oracy about data analysis, the students are ready to
learn the English words for what they learned
in Spanish using the same oracy strategy.
Students will then add the English words next
to the Spanish words in the chart to get ready
to compare them.
Bridge Part 3 Once the three parts of the bridge are in the
chart, students are ready to see the
similarities and differences between
languages. In this case they will work on
morphology (word formation), see how the
words are very similar in both languages and
why they are considered cognates.
