Course/Unit Title:
SPANISH 2/Unit 1 Repaso y El
Bienestar (Chp. 6)
Unit Summary:
This unit will give students the ability to apply what has been
learned
throughout Spanish 1. Students will describe people's
personalities, conditions, and emotions, explain minor illnesses, and talk

people’s personalities,
conditions, and emotions?

illnesses?

and estar to describe
characteristics and
conditions?
● How do I use the verbs ser
and estar to describe
origin and location?

Spain in the 16th century, and its satirical style still has an
influence upon our pop culture today.

Enduring Understanding(s):
● Birthday celebrations are similar in Spanish-speaking countries
and the U.S.
● There are expressions to talk about celebrating a birthday,
attending concerts, movies, and museums.
● We use the preterit to be able to talk about the activities
completed in the past, so that we can say what we did last night,
yesterday, or last week.
● To talk about pastimes it is valuable to know the verbs to hear, to
read, to see and to give, in both the present and preterit tenses.
● The verbs hacer, querer, and venir are irregular in the preterite
and all have an i in the stem.
● The verbs poder, poner, and saber are irregular in the preterite
and all have an u in the stem.
● The verbs tener, estar, and andar are irregular in the preterite
and all have an uv in the stem.
● The use of affirmative and negative words enhances and places
emphasis on conversations about pastimes.
● When studying a language it is essential to include culture,
affirmative and
negative words to
enhance my
communication?
● Why is it important
for me to learn about
