5 thoughts on “Story Trick”
This is a good reminder! I taught for two years with TPRS before I realized I was not really using the verb “hacer” much at all, certainly not enough for my students to acquire it. What a mistake. Now I am constantly asking this question that Rochelle suggests above. Not necessarily to get more details, but to ask higher level questions of my students about the story and get reps of this important structure.
hizo, hace, and hacĂa = from day 1 (my policy, too–they can’t get enough)
Agreed. I have a sign in my Latin classroom saying “quid agit? (what is _____ doing?)” It is the next step in the questioning process for me after what, who and where. And it always calls for a verb.
Oh, wow! this is a great idea. My English learners seem to have so much trouble with the verb to do that they almost seem unable to hear it. I know when I ask them, What did he do? they don’t understand what the question is. I need to ask them it all the time instead of avoiding it. thank you, thank you. I guess you’re never too old to learn.
Yeah and like “why,” this question is best answered by a complete sentence.
