Supplementary Materials to Accompany Puntos de Partida
. . From the first edition to the present edition, one of the most important features of the Supplementary Materials is the built-in recycling of linguistic functions. In this edition besides the �Guided Writing� re-entry activities, and the �Communicative Goals� speaking practices, we have added a section called �Recycling of Major Linguistic Functions� which was previously in the Teacher�s Guide and as is now in the student Supplement. We have also added suggestions about how to incorporate student-initiated questions into picture-based activities. All activities have been updated to reflect the changes to the new edition of Puntos and current Hispanic popular culture.

The Supplementary Materials and Teacher�s Guide are meant, first and foremost, to be a time-saver when doing lesson plans. Here, in one manual, you will find a wide range of imaginative, classroom-tested materials and activities, designed by experienced teachers who have taught extensively with Puntos de partida. It is our earnest hope that this supplement and teacher�s guide will make teachers� lives easier when planning classes, and that students find the materials interesting, enjoyable and beneficial.
