the teacher will browse the Prezi and repeat the Spanish word in each
slide. The class, listens while watching the screen, and repeats. This

Prezi presentation.
4. Students will sign out a laptop form the cart and open word.
5. Students will type in the translated expressions and look for synonyms on
the programs thesaurus.
6. As they find words, they will include these in the word document.
7. After trying out each of the 3 expressions, students will formulate an
expression of their own.
