Step 2: Part 1 — The Present Scene (Present vs. Progressive) Goal: Describe the “Who, What, Where, and When” of the image. Format & Structure: Required: Clearly label this section as Part 1 in the text box below. It is perfectly acceptable to provide a list of complete sentences. Group your sentences logically (e.g., one group for the setting, and one group for each person). Checklist for Part 1: Setting: Describe the location, weather, day/date, and time.  Give sufficient details to really “set the scene”.  The People: Choose at least two people and describe Physical appearance, clothing (including colors), and age. Personality, their relationship to others, and their mental/emotional state Include at least one sentence comparing the characteristics of the people (e.g., who is older/younger, taller/shorter, or more/less patient). Mention if the people know each other or know a specific place / fact / how to do something Mention things that please, bore, fascinate, or interest them. This is where you must demonstrate control of the proper format for verbs like gustar (using the required indirect object pronoun). You are welcome to include additional details using vocabulary and themes from S101 to make your description more vivid. However, ensure these details do not overshadow your production and control of the S102 topics listed above. Optional Stretch Goal: If you feel ready, describe any interaction between the people. What are they saying to each other? Is someone giving something to another person? This is a great way to show your progress with pronouns! The Actions: Use at least 10 unique verbs. You may also use verb phrases to describe ideas such as what someone wants to do, plans to do, is going to do, etc. Here are some examples: Acabar de… Aprender a… Deber… Decidir a… Desear… Empezar a… Ir a… Pensar… Poder… Querer… Saber… Tener ganas de… Tener que… If you use a verb phrase (like Tener que + comer), it is the infinitive (comer) that counts as your unique action. Example: If you use “quiere comer” and “tiene que comer,” that only counts as one unique action (eating). You need 10 different activities! Simple Present: Use this for general facts, descriptions of what people are wearing, and states of being. Present Progressive: Use this only for actions actively in progress in the “snapshot” of the photo.
