Learn how to conjugate irregular verbs that do not follow the regular conjugation rules. Apply their knowledge to state what people are doing using a variety of irregular verbs.
DOK 1: These four verbs share similar ending patterns in several forms (e.g., fanno, danno, vanno, stanno). The teacher calls out a pronoun (e.g., Loro), and students must recite the forms for all four verbs in a row.
DOK 2: The verb andare is almost always followed by a preposition. Students must "shift" between Andare A (cities/small places) and Andare IN (countries/large regions).
DOK 3: Students write a five-sentence plan for their ideal Saturday using all four verbs (e.g., "Vado al cinema, faccio una torta...").
DOK 4: Students research an Italian non-profit (e.g., Banco Alimentare). They must write a proposal explaining what they would give (dare), what they would do (fare), and where they would go (andare) to help.
