Un drone Spanish Embedded Reading: A Sub Plan

I created this series of exercises for my students to do while I was out.  The original article can be found HERE.

There is also a 3 minute Youtube clip that can be used with it.  I had the students watch it afterwards, but it could certainly be used before,during or after the readings!!

Below are three versions of a reading created from an article about a group of college students in Spain who created a drone for a special purpose.

Step 1:  I gave half of the class the first reading, the other half the second reading.  The readings are exactly alike except that one is written in paragraph form and the other with large spaces between the lines.    The instructions for each group are different.

Reading 1:   Read the paragraph below independently.    Then, meet with a partner and list in the blank below, in English, 8-10 facts that you understand about this story.

Un equipo de estudiantes ha construido un ‘drone’ para combatir la caza de rinocerontes y elefantes.  El ‘drone’ permitirá controlar esta práctica. El ‘drone’ puede detectar los animales y enviar a los parques donde están.

 Los estudiantes han diseñado ‘Ranger Drone’ para utilizar en los parques.  Ranger Drone está programado para la selva o la saban. El ‘drone’ incorpora una cámara que permite detectar desde el aire.  El equipo está trabajando para incorporar un sistema de detección de sonidos. Los estudiantes han realizado pruebas del ‘drone’ en el zoológico de Barcelona. 

Según un estudio, los cazadores mataron alrededor de cien mil elefantes en solamente dos años. Las muertes son consecuencia de la demanda de marfil.  Según el estudio, la población está disminuyendo a 2% anual.

(a large space was left at the bottom of the page for this purpose.)

Reading 2:   First, read this piece independently.   Then, with the support of a partner, under each sentence, translate what you understand into English.

Un equipo de estudiantes ha construido un ‘drone’ para combatir la caza de rinocerontes

y elefantes.  El ‘drone’ permitirá controlar esta práctica. El ‘drone’ puede detectar los

animales y enviar a los parques donde están.

 

  Los estudiantes han diseñado ‘Ranger Drone’ para utilizar en los parques.  Ranger Drone

está programado para la selva o la saban. El ‘drone’ incorpora una cámara que permite

detectar desde el aire.  El equipo está trabajando para incorporar un sistema de detección

de sonidos. Los estudiantes han realizado pruebas del ‘drone’ en el zoológico de

Barcelona.

 

 Según un estudio, los cazadores mataron alrededor de cien mil elefantes en solamente

dos años. Las muertes son consecuencia de la demanda de marfil.  Según el estudio, la

población está disminuyendo a 2% anual.

Step 2:  Reading 1 students are paired with a Reading 2 student.   They compare the different versions of their readings and add any new information that they can provide.

Then they were handed the translation below to compare with what they already had figured out.

Un equipo de estudiantes ha construido un ‘drone’ para combatir la caza de rinocerontes y

A team    of students  have constructed a drone        to fight     the hunting of rhinoceroses  and

elefantes.  El ‘drone’ permitirá controlar esta práctica.          El ‘drone’ puede detectar los animales y

elephants. The dronewill allow the control of this practice     the drone can detect       the animals and

enviar a los parques donde están.

send (their location) to the parks where they are.

 

Los estudiantes han diseñado ‘Ranger Drone’ para utilizar en los parques.  Ranger Drone está

The students   have designed    Ranger Drone  to be used      in the parks.           Ranger Drone is

programado para la selva o la sabana.                      El ‘drone’ incorpora una cámara que permite detectar

 programmed  for the  jungle  or the Savannah. The drone    incorporates a camera   that permits the detection

desde el aire.       El equipo está trabajando para incorporar un sistema de detección de sonidos.

from the air.      The team      is working        in order to incorporate a system of  detection with sounds.                

Los estudiantes han realizado pruebas del ‘drone’ en el zoológico de Barcelona.  Según un estudio,

The students      have  “created”   trials      of the drone     in the Barcelona Zoo. According to one study, 

los cazadores mataron alrededor de cien mil elefantes en solamente dos años.

the hunters      killed      around           100,000   elephantes in just two years.

 

Las muertes son consecuencia de la demanda de marfil.         Según el estudio, la población está

The deaths are a consecuence   of the demand  for   ivory.  According to the study,   the population is

disminuyendo a 2% anual.

Diminishing  at an annual rate of 2%.

 

Step 3:  The following day, the students could work independently or in pairs on the following assignment.  (This could also be given for homework or used in a block period.)

 

Name______________________________Period______

Compare this Reading to the first one.  Highlight everything that is new/added.  List, in English, 8 pieces of new information that you discovered reading this version.  When you are finished, you will watch the video about the Ranger Drone.

Unos alumnos han diseñado un ‘drone’ para la organización Wildlife Conservation que permitirá a los parques nacionales controlar mucho más esta práctica.

Un equipo de estudiantes de la Cataluña ha construido un ‘drone’ para combatir la caza de rinocerontes y elefantes.  Los alumnos han diseñado el ‘drone’ para la organización Wildlife Conservation.  El ‘drone’ permitirá controlar más efectivamente esta práctica. El ‘drone’ puede detectar los animales desde el aire y enviar a los parques donde están. El proyecto ha sido elegido en un concurso para encontrar una solución a la cacería de elefantes y rinocerontes.

Los estudiantes han diseñado un vehículo sin piloto, ‘Ranger Drone’ para utilizar en los parques.  Ranger Drone está programado para la selva o la sabana y vuela. El ‘drone’ incorpora una cámara que permite detectar desde el aire cazadores.  El equipo está trabajando para incorporar un sistema de detección de sonidos. Los estudiantes han realizado pruebas del ‘drone’ en diferentes espacios, como el zoológico de Barcelona.

Estima que hay entre 470.000 y 690.000 de estos mamíferos en África. Según un estudio de la Universidad Estatal de Colorado, los cazadores mataron alrededor de cien mil elefantes en solamente dos años. Las muertes de los mamíferos terrestres más grandes son consecuencia de la demanda de marfil.  Según el estudio, la población está disminuyendo a 2% anual.

L’Oranger Magique, Embedded Reading and Mini-Stories by Rosemarie Alagia

We are so happy to offer another Embedded Reading in French!   This is from a wonderful folk tale and was created by Rosemarie Alagia.   Thank you so much Rosemarie!!

This reading was part of an entire unit that took a number of weeks to complete.  Rosemarie has also generously shared several mini-stories that she used in order to pre-teach vocabulary and structures that her students would need in order to be successful readers of this folk tale.     MERCI !!!
