Preface ¡Buenos días clase! Today we are going to learn how to count in Spanish. Open your textbooks to page five, look at the chart, and repeat after me: uno…dos…tres… If the aforementioned Spanish classroom scenario sounds anything like one of your typical lessons, there’s a possibility that it is coupled with unenthusiastic, disengaged students. Don’t be discouraged and please don’t think that you are alone. Many Spanish teachers have great intentions for their students to become fluent speakers; however, the manner in which they engage students and the strategies that they employ are lackluster and do not promote language acquisition. Learning a language should be both captivating and challenging. Think back to when you learned your very first words or better yet, the first time you learned how to read and write a complete sentence…it was exhilarating! You wanted to learn more; you craved it. There’s a reason why pre-school teachers engage children in their primary language in such an animated way. Why? They do this to promote language development and literacy. So why then do we, as instructors of language, engage our students to the contrary? I, too, am a Spanish educator. Nonetheless, at one point I found myself simply “covering” content instead of engaging students in the target language. According to Wiggins and McTighe (2005), I was committing one of the twin sins of instructional design. By simply covering content, I was implementing “…an approach in which students march through a textbook, page by page (or teachers through lecture notes) in a valiant attempt to traverse all the factual material within a prescribed time” (p. 16). However, once I witnessed the overwhelming interests my students developed in learning vocabulary and grammar through mnemonic devices and student-centered instruction, I knew that I was finally reaching them and that they were actually grasping the language and loving it. This lesson, is one of the ten lessons in the Employ & Enjoy: Resource Workbook for Teaching and Learning Spanish, Level 1: Unit 1 Series. My purpose for creating these lessons is to rekindle or stimulate the instructional fire within every Spanish teacher by presenting effective teaching strategies that are student-centered and culturally-inclusive. Experience lesson plans that are rigorous, relevant, and responsive to the needs of 21st learners that, if implemented with fidelity, will have your students speaking in the target language like never before! So…Employ and Enjoy! Wiggins, G. P., & McTighe, J. (1998). Understanding by design. Alexandria, VA: Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.

Lesson 3 Title: ¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo está usted? Objective: Students will use the verb estar with adjectives in order to ask others and describe how they are feeling. Alignment: Communication: Communicate in Languages other than English Standard 1.1 Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions. Materials:  vocabulary sentence strips (question, response format, adjectives)*  large picture cues of vocabulary words (adjectives)*  a class set of U1L3W1 and U1L3C1 student worksheets  a class set of U1L3 formative assessment (exit slip) *You may elect to use a digital format (i.e. slideshow presentation) to display your vocabulary words and sentences visually instead of using print form. Hook Statement/Activity: Prior to the start of class, write/project the following on the board: 1. How do you feel when you receive a gift? 2. How do you feel when someone startles you? 3. How do you feel when you place third in a race? Direct your students to answer this question in/on their journals, notebooks, drill sheets, entrance tickets, etc. Be sure to have a daily drill or “hook” activity for students to complete independently while you complete administrative tasks (i.e. hall duty, attendance, etc.). Greet your students by saying, “¡Hola clase!” and “¡Buenos días!” or “¡Buenas tardes!” (depending on the time of day) with a clear, enthusiastic voice (do not yell); or refer to Video Reference #1. Review the drill/practice questions and transition to the introduction of new learning.

CONSEJITO #1

Effective “Hook” Activities either: (1) reinforce yesterday’s learning or (2) pose a question or statement that sparks interest and inquiry about the new topic of learning amongst students.
