1. Have the beam projector ready to show the activities suggested in the MED section.

2. Tell students they are going to review in an everyday situation which is ‘making requests’ and they are going to watch the video to practice as well.

3. Ask students to reflect on how important it is to use the right expressions when making a request and ask them to think of a situation in Spanish, when they need something from their mom's and how to request it.

4.Project the video and make pauses to make comments and give students the opportunity to take notes.

5. Talk about the definition of request and how important it is to request for something appropriate in order to get it.

6. Continue with the video and ask students to write down the expressions they see in the video.

7.  Ask students to analyze the contexts where they are used (home, work, school) and elicit from students the levels of formality.

8. Play the video without music and ask students to read along with the dialogs aloud.

9. Tell students they are going to practice requests now with some situations.

10. Tell students they are going to listen to three different dialogs where people are requesting something.

11. Write on the board this chart and ask them to complete it with information from the dialogs

                             WHO                 WHAT              EXPRESSIONS

Dialog 1

Dialog 2

Dialog 3

12. Play the video and do not pause it. The dialogs come, first, with no text, for students to listen, and right after there is a review where the dialog is repeated with text to read along.

13. Ask students to work in pairs and compare their information.

14. Play the video and pause it after each dialog to check the answers with the class and confirm information.

15. Make a special emphasis on the expression used to accept the request.

16- Ask students to role-play the dialogs in pairs.

1. Have the beam projector ready to show the videos suggested in the MED section.

2. Tell students they are going to work with more request expressions in different situations as well as review some questions forms.

3. Ask students what the most common requests they would make are and to whom.

4. Play the video (it is in Spanish and it was produced by a Mexican English teacher to help his class ) but make pauses to discuss with students the information given.

5. Make the first pause right after CAN, COULD, and WOULD are presented and ask students what the difference among them is. You may want to work some examples for students to understand the contextual meaning rather than the meaning in Spanish.

6. Continue with the grammar chart and make sure students are following the explanations. Make special emphasis on the levels of formality they show and discuss the effectiveness of making that difference.

7. Ask students to copy the charts in red, yellow, and green in their notebooks.

8. Ask students to write down three requests, one for you, one for their parents, and one for a classmate.

9. Tell students they are going now to watch a video with more expressions not only accepting but refusing as well requests.

10. Ask students to make a list of expressions in their notebooks and classify them into accepting and refusing.

11. Play the video and make pauses. Students will realize the dynamics are A and B, somebody makes a request, and somebody else answers.

12. When students have written all the expressions in the video, ask them to classify them in pairs into, REQUEST, ACCEPTING, REFUSING.

13. Discuss with students their classification and help with any doubts they may have.
