• ‘Cartas de oro’ because they are some of the most useful words you’ll learn ever• Play them at any time we are talking in Spanish ‘whole class’ – needs to be relevant to
our discussion theme in some way• When you ‘play’ one you put it back in the envelope• Your aim is to use at least 3 per lesson – more than this (reward=spontaneous leader –
call home)

6 Spontaneity is planned!
What is spontaneous for the students can be planned for by the teacher! Incorporate a range of different tasks into lessons that require students to produce language off the top of their heads.

Salut! Je m’appelle Clarisse et j’habite à Fonainebleau. Je suis drôle et intelligente et je suis fan de foot! Le foot, c’est ma passion. Mon équipe, c’est le PSG.
Mon frère Rény est très sympa. En genéral on s’entend bien et normalement on regarde les matches de foot ensemble.
Hier soir, j’ai regardé un match de foot international à la télé, J’ai mangé du popcorn, comme d’hab.
Le weekend dernier, je suis allée au Parc des Princes où j’ai regardé le PSG contre Auxerre. J’ai aimé le match parce qu’il y a eu deux pénalties. Après le match, je suis allée au café où j’ai mangé un sandwich.
