Lección 1<br />

Remember that all <strong>TPR</strong> comm<strong>and</strong>s are given in the third-person singular, not the second-person<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> form.<br />

Three words: se levanta, se sienta, lento<br />

Novel comm<strong>and</strong>s:<br />

Modeling. Teacher models gesture <strong>and</strong> then students copy. Se levanta. Se sienta. Se levanta. Se<br />

sienta. Se levanta rápido. Se sienta rápido. Se levanta lento. Se sienta lento.<br />

Delayed modeling. Teacher says the word, students do the gesture, teacher gestures. Se sienta<br />

rápido. Se levanta lento. Se sienta. Se levanta.<br />

Removal of modeling: Teacher says the word, students gesture. Se sienta. Se levanta. Se sienta.<br />

Tricking. Teacher says one word <strong>and</strong> gestures another to determine if students know the words well<br />

enough to have stopped depending on the modeling. Se levanta rápido (say rápido slowly). Se<br />

sienta rápido. Se levanta lento (say lento quickly). Se sienta lento. Se levanta rápido.<br />

Add three words: camina, da una vuelta, corre<br />

Novel comm<strong>and</strong>s:<br />

Camina (in place). Camina. Camina rápido. Camina lento. Se sienta. Camina. (Don’t st<strong>and</strong><br />

up. Walk while sitting.) Se levanta. Camina en un círculo (around chair). Camina rápido en<br />

un círculo. Camina como un elefante. Camina lento como un elefante. Camina como [big<br />

strong actor, wrestler, or football player]. Camina como [actress, model, singer]. Se sienta lento.<br />

Más lento. Más lento. Se levanta. Da una vuelta. Da una vuelta rápido. Camina rápido y da<br />

una vuelta lento. Da una vuelta como un elefante. Se sienta. Da una vuelta. (Wait. Inevitably<br />

at least one student will swing his or her legs over the back of the chair. Praise the student for being<br />

so clever <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing so well.) Se levanta. Corre. Corre rápido. Corre como un elefante.<br />

Se sienta. Corre. Se levanta. Corre y da una vuelta. Corre en un círculo. Corre en un círculo<br />

lento. Se sienta. Corre. Da una vuelta. (This is a second chance for all students to show off their<br />

creativity <strong>and</strong> agility. Praise them.) Se levanta. Corre lento. Corre muy, muy lento.<br />

Check for “barometer students”<br />

Have the students close their eyes. Say words in groups of three. Students do three GESTURE<br />

AND ASSESS words in succession. Say another set of three words. Check for comprehension, <strong>and</strong><br />

look for any students who seem to lack confidence or are gesturing incorrectly. You should then be<br />

careful to practice the vocabulary enough that those students begin to consistently gesture correctly.<br />

To insure that pacing is neither too fast nor too slow, use this technique to find a student in the<br />

20th–40th percentile. Then check all the gestures as well as the English definitions with the<br />

“barometer student” selected. The words this student does not know well should be practiced again<br />

in the next lesson.<br />

Lección 2<br />

Three words: toca la boca, toca la mano, toca la cabeza<br />

Modeling. Teacher models gesture <strong>and</strong> then students copy. Se levanta. Toca la boca. Toca la<br />

cabeza. Toca la mano. Toca la cabeza. Toca la mano. Se sienta y toca la boca. Se levanta y<br />

toca la mano. Toca la cabeza. Toca la cabeza y camina.<br />

Delayed modeling. Teacher says the word, students do the gesture, teacher gestures. Toca la mano.<br />

Toca la cabeza. Toca la boca.<br />

Removal of modeling: Teacher says the word, students gesture.<br />

Toca la boca. Toca la mano.<br />

Toca la cabeza.<br />

Tricking. Teacher says one word <strong>and</strong> gestures another to determine if students know the words well<br />

enough to have stopped depending on the modeling.<br />
