Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a whole-class vocabulary introduction, moving slide by slide and pausing for students to point to the picture before reading the English word aloud.
- Discussion prompt: "What do you NOTICE in this picture?" followed by "What might this word mean?" to activate prior knowledge before revealing the definition.
- Scaffold for struggling learners by offering the Spanish cognate or home-language label first, then having students repeat the English word chorally and point to the matching image on a word wall or card.
- Extension for more advanced students: ask them to combine two target words in one sentence (e.g., "Cooperation helps us overcome obstacles") or to explain how a value connects to a challenge they have faced.
- Plan roughly 3-5 minutes per word, including the hook, picture walk, sentence stem practice, and partner sharing, so the full set fits comfortably in one 30-45 minute session.
