6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

The first part of the lesson plan will consist of introducing the fifteen new vocabulary words to the students. These will be taught using pictures and a definitions sheet handout.
 

B. Development-

The fifteen vocabulary words will be read aloud in French, clearly and slowly, and the students will repeat.
 

C. Practice-

The next part of the lesson plan is an activity that allows the students to practice the fifteen vocabulary terms.
1. Cards to represent the colors learned during the lesson will be placed about the room.
2. The students will be asked to each think of a one of the vocabulary items.
3. The students will be asked to stand and walk to the specified color of the object as the item is called out by the teacher
 

D. Independent Practice-

The students will be expected to answer basic English questions that use the fifteen vocabulary words discussed in class.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

It must be made sure that each vocabulary word does have a visual representation in the classroom somewhere that is not difficult to find.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

To check for understanding the students will display to the teacher their knowledge of the vocabulary terms by walking to the correct area in the classroom.
 

G. Closure-

To wrap up the lesson plan, the students will learn their results of the activity. The teacher will then review again the vocabulary words and their meanings, so students can become aware of any wrong identifications they have made.
 
7. Evaluation-
The most obvious measures of progress will be the results that the students receive for the activity. This will show if they understand the meanings of the vocabulary taught. Also, progress would include improved pronunciations of the vocabulary words simply from having repeated exposure. Last, this lesson plan should provide long-term memory of the fifteen words. This activity provided a visual connection to auditory learning in hopes that in the future the vocabulary meanings will be easier to remember.
