Subject: Spanish: Foreign Language
1. Topic-
Learning How to Count in Spanish
 
2. Content-
Since the students have already learned how to count to 10 in English, it is time to learn to count to 10 in SPANISH. They will listen to a song (provided by YouTube) and start to sing alone the best they can. After this has been done, they will review a PowerPoint to review the different numbers and their pronunciation in Spanish. After the PowerPoint is finished, they will sing along to the song for a second time to trigger their memory.
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
1.The students will be able to count to 10 in Spanish.
2.The students will put this information to memory through the song.
3.All of the students participate.
 
4. Objectives-
Behavioral: The students will all remain silent until they are told to sing along or try to pronounce the numbers themselves.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
1. Microsoft PowerPoint
2. YouTube
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

HOOK: The students will be told that they are going to learn to count to 10 in Spanish. through a song (then the song will be played).
 

B. Development-

1.The song is played one time to let them listen to it.
2.Then the teacher tells them so sing alone and try it for themselves. (This might trigger them to listen closely and watch the teachers lips move so that they might model these words themselves).
 

C. Practice-

1.The teacher will go through each number on the respective PowerPoint showing the students how to pronounce each word in detail and have them say it back to he/she.
2. The teacher will continue to go through the PowerPoint and have the students try it themselves.
3. The teacher will help with correcting pronunciation.
 

D. Independent Practice-

1.The song will be played one more time so that the students are all able to try it themselves without the teachers help.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1.Many students will feel that this is second nature to them since they are Spanish., which is great. Unfortunately, some other students might feel that they are falling behind since some students already know the material because it is their everyday language. A great accommodation for these types of students might be to give them an extra sheet of paper with the words pronounced in detail.
2.In addition, students with disabilities that are slower learned will also receive the same paper so they might follow along easier as well.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

The assessment will be based off of student participation and feedback for the day.
 

G. Closure-

The closer will be singing the song one more time with greater understanding of counting to 10 in Spanish.!
 
7. Evaluation-
The measure of progress will be to see if the students remember the song the next day, week, and month. Then it will be an effective lesson because they really learned the material.
 
8. Teacher Reflection-
