Lesson+Plan


 * Spanish Verbs Lesson Plan**

The students will be able to complete a webquest on the given Spanish verbs and their definitions with 95% accuracy over the course of 3 class periods. The overall goal is for the students to become proficient with the Spanish verbs as well as their English definitions. The students should be able to repeat the latter of what is given. Ultimately they should be able to use the verbs in complete sentences and everyday conversation.
 * Objective**

The students will spend the class period teaching the students the 20 new Spanish verbs. They will be doing a call and response to practice the pronunciation of the Spanish verbs. The teacher will be playing the role of the facilitator and will be completing examples on the board to begin the practice of the new material. After a few examples are completed, a worksheet will be given to the students for some practice. Side one will be matching and side two will be a fill in the blank in order to use scaffolding to begin to have the new material stick in their memory. The class will then review the worksheets and their answers. Afterwards, the class will complete some practice using whiteboards, and finally they will complete a webquest on the Spanish verbs. This will allow them to play interactive review games to help instill the material into their heads. Finally, after experience with the webquest program, the students will create their own webquest of the new material.

The class will start with the teacher playing the role of the facilitator. She will distribute a worksheet to each of the students. The worksheet will have 20 Spanish verbs as well as their English definitions alongside of them. The teacher will then do a call and response with the class going down and pronouncing each word in Spanish and the class will respond in order to practice their pronunciation of the verbs. Afterwards, the teacher will do a few examples of the verb usage on the board and will call on student volunteers to assist her. After a little practice, the students will be given a worksheet, one side will be matching the English and the Spanish verbs and definitions and the other will be a fill in the blank in order to help their memorization. Once the worksheet is completed, the class will orally review it using the overhead projector while the teacher fills in the blanks. Afterwards, each student will be given a whiteboard and a marker and the teacher will do an oral quiz and each student will have to write their answers to each question on the whiteboard and hold it up in the air for the teacher to check their answers. This will be a formative assessment to preview the students’ knowledge of the new material. When the teacher notices that the class is closest to 100% accuracy, the teacher will then collect the whiteboards and distribute laptop computers. Each student will log on and complete a web quest. They will be allowed to complete a series of fun and interactive review games in order to increase their memory of the new material. The teacher will once again serve as the facilitator and walk around checking the students’ progress and work. Once they are finished and have achieved at least 95% accuracy, the students will then be given guidelines in order to create their own webquest and afterwards they will pass their laptops around and try eachother’s creations.

The formative assessment will be the whiteboard activity as a class, and the summative assessment will be the creation of a webquest.
