Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

The reference pages are designed to be kept - print them once for notebooks and re-copy only the matching and answering worksheets.
The tu and usted pages are deliberately parallel, so put them side by side to teach the formality distinction rather than teaching them as separate lessons.
The matching worksheet has a key, but the personal-answer page does not and cannot - answers vary by student, so plan to check those individually or in pairs.
Cover the reference sheet before the matching worksheet if you want it as an assessment rather than a look-up task.
