Notes
- In
preparation for this activity, have students
read Lecturas culturales on page
140 in the textbook.
- Students
should review Vocabulario Palabras
2 on pages 128–129 in the textbook
before beginning this activity.
- You
may wish to provide students with the
following list of additional vocabulary
before they begin the activity.

la bajada |
slope, descent |
| |
el delfinario |
dolphin show |
| |
el parque acuático |
water park |
| |
la tarifa |

- Students who choose to explore the Parque acuático may not be
familiar with vocabulary associated with it. You may wish
to supply them with some terms before they begin the
activity.

deslizar |
to slide |
| |
el flotador |

| |
la pista |
track, course |
| |
el tobogán |

- Students
will need to explore several screens on
each site in order to find enough information
to complete the activity in sufficient
detail. They should be encouraged to explore
several sections of each of these sites.
- The
zoo site contains links to some interesting
games that students might want to play
if they finish early.
Expansion
- To
foster oral production, have each student
"advertise" his or her favorite
park in a short oral report. Students
should include information such as the
attractions that the park offers; encourage
students to use the comparative construction
in Spanish to describe the advantages
or features of interest of the parks they
chose in comparison to other parks. If
possible, allow students to print pictures
from the sites they visit and use them
to create posters to enhance their oral
reports. The posters could even take the
form of print advertising.
- To
practice using the past tenses, students
could write a short postcard or a letter
to a pen pal in which they describe the
things they saw and the "adventures"
they had while in the two parks.
- To
allow students to practice giving details
about location, have them give directions
to a friend who will be arriving late.
Students can use maps from the sites to
describe where to meet the rest of the
group.
- Have
students compare their virtual trip from
this activity with a trip they have taken
to an amusement park, zoo, or water park.
Have them discuss similarities and differences
between the two. This can be done as an
oral or written activity.
- Have
students role-play a situation in which
they are making plans for their summer
vacation. Have them use the future tense
to tell what they will do while they are
there.
