  • Los estudiantes van a compartir con la clase el viaje que planificaron.  Una de las habilidades que se debe practicar es el subjuntivo.  Los estudiantes utilizarán frases como “Espero que vayas” o “Ojalá que visites…” y discutimos el hecho de que el subjuntivo no se usa en inglés.

  • Recomiendo que pregunte usted  a su hijo/a  sobre el país que “visitaste”
