Breakdown of the current topic:

2. Students create a Spanish calendar. Example below. Theory: by constant repetition of the vocabulary, the words are remembered, and remembered accurately so they can be used in context.
3. Students use Language Perfect to practice their language skills (reading, writing, listening and spelling).
