| | Objective- To
introduce students to cities in Spain
- To
acquaint them with the practical aspects
of traveling on the Spanish rail system
Notes - If
your students use the Mapa interactivo
de España, tell them that the
Spanish cities are organized by region
at the Turespaña site. They
must run their cursor over the name of
the region to see a list of cities.
-
If your students are already familiar
with Spanish cities, you can have them
go directly to the RENFE link instead
of exploring the Mapa interactivo de
España.
-
This activity reinforces the train vocabulary
and expands upon the cultural information
on the Spanish rail system presented in
this chapter.
-
Advise students to take the AVE
(Alta Velocidad Española),
a high-speed train, if they want to reach
their destinations quickly. Tell them
that the AVE is not available for
all destinations.
-
To find the number of stops that the trains
make, students should click on Tipo
Tren on the train schedule.
- To
save time, have students do the currency
conversion from pesetas to dollars
for all the train fares after they finish
filling in the information from the RENFE
site for all three destinations.
Expansion -
If students are able to download photos
and print them out, have them prepare
a travel brochure about one of the cities
they plan to visit. Display the students'
brochures around a wall-size map of Spain
in the classroom. Have students vote on
which city is the most interesting, beautiful,
etc.
- In
Actividad comunicativa A, RENFE
on page 5 of the textbook, students play
the role of a ticket agent or a train
traveler. Have them use the real schedule
and fare information they obtained from
the Internet for the communicative activity.
It will make the activity more meaningful
and fun.
