Most directions and discussions done in English should be changed to Spanish for level 2 and above, and those levels should be able to communicate using the progressive and past tenses. The students should already be familiar with asking and responding to questions and know basic vocabulary. Since this unit is computer-based, students should have some familiarity with using search engines to find information. They should also be accustomed to doing small group work in the classroom.
