¿Qué haces en la escuela?

The theme of our current unit is Tu día escolar (Your schoolday). This chapter is called ¿Qué haces en la escuela? (What do you do in school?). Upon completion of this chapter students will be able to:

• describe classroom objects and activities

• express affirmative and negative ideas
• compare the school rules and customs in other countries with those of their own school

Students will also explore:

Our textbook, Auténtico, helps with the development of reading, writing, and
speaking skills through the use of strategies, process speaking, and process writing.

In this chapter, students will:

To reinforce and enhance learning, students can access a wide range of online resources on Pearson Realize, the personalized learning management system
that accompanies the print and online Student Edition. Resources include the
eText, textbook and workbook activities, audio files, videos, animations, songs,
games, self-study tools, interactive maps, voice recording (Speak and Record),
