Respira: el estrés y tú

Pacing guide: Interpersonal · Interpersonal · Grammar: Commands + object pronouns in conversation · Product: Small-group discussion

1. Modelo (8 min): Play the dialogue once; students listen for 3 pieces of advice. Second time: students raise a hand on each command with a pronoun (cuéntame, no lo tengas, no te compares, concéntrate…).
2. Frases útiles (8 min): Vocabulary cards with audio, then the chips of empathy phrases. Students choose two phrases they'll use today and write them on a sticky note.
3. Práctica rápida (6 min): Fill-ins on reflexive commands with pronouns — the key grammar for today's conversations.
4. Tarjetas de rol (10 min): Pairs, 2 minutes per card, switch roles. Circulate and note good examples of commands + pronouns to share at the end.
5. Ruleta (9 min): Groups of 3–4 (the product: small-group discussion). Each student answers, the others react with a phrase from the chips and add a follow-up question.
6. Seguimiento (6 min): Speaking checklist with a 3-minute timer: each group agrees on a «Top 5» list of strategies for our school.
7. Autoevaluación (4 min): Self-assessment scale, silently.
8. Boleto de salida (4 min): MC + confidence.

Keep the tone supportive and general: students talk about everyday stress (exams, sports, sleep, phones), not personal crises, and nobody has to share anything personal — the role cards are fictional. Before class, check with your school counselor and know your referral process. If a student discloses something serious, follow your school's protocol. Recycles negative tú commands (Day 66), reflexive commands and double pronouns (Day 72) and doler (Day 68).
