ITALIAN OVERVIEW TERM 1 

Italian - Rapporti - Relationships

During Italian this term, students will focus on the Relationships theme - Rapporti. They will learn the names of the special people with whom they have a connection: ‘ mia mamma,’ ‘ mio papà,’ ‘mia sorella,’ ‘mio fratello,’ ‘mia nonna,’ ‘mio nonno’ ‘mio amico’, ‘mia amica’ and be guided through a conversation in Italian. 

Middle school students will be introduced to special words which enhance relationships: for example, ‘ti voglio bene,’ ‘scusa,’ ‘mi dispiace’, ‘buona giornata’, ‘prego’, ‘come stai?’, ‘bene grazie e lei’, ‘per favore’ and include them in their dialogue with a partner. 

Senior students will discuss factors necessary to maintain a relationship and create a floral collage with those factors.  

Students will also have the opportunity to introduce their friend, stating their name, age and likes to the class members in Italian. 

All students will also learn a special poem or prayer in Italian which will be read each lesson. Songs and puzzles also form part of the lessons.
