First activity: What is an activity?*

In this first activity we made the planning of an  activity students of high school; and we found the difference between planning an activity and planning a class.

The planning of an entire class: Greetings
1.      Write a list of five Greetings on the White board in Spanish.

2.      Ask the students to translate and finish the list.

3.      Once finished, classify the greetings in formal and informal ones, looking for their meaning and use.

4.      Finally, the teacher will throw the ball for choose a student, who will tell a greeting that he or she have learned today.

*As we could notice, an activity is just a part of a class, is an action or group of actions than have a specific objective. All the activities work together for reach the general objective of the class. So, a class is the group of activities designed for reach a general purpose during a specific quantity of time.

Sometimes, an activity can be that long, than cannot be finished in the time of one class, but it doesn´t mean that it became a class, is just that sometimes there are very long topics, which general objective can be reached after several classes.
