3. Instruction- learning Process

 Hook- (Dressed up in an Argentine Gaucho outfit). Start with a student volunteer, in

English, have a student find out information about Gaucho man, what his name is, where he’s

from, etc.. I will answer in Spanish.

Mini-lesson- 1. Start with greetings and introductions.

Hola. ¿Como está? Me llamo Mr. Reid (write on board all Spanish words and

phrases that are new to them.) (Have students write all things on the board in their

notebooks)

2. Teach the questions that have been prepared. ¿Cuál es su nombre? / ¿Cómo se

llama? ¿Cuántos años tiene? ¿De dónde es?

Help students learn pronunciations to new words.

3. End with farewells. Adiós and Chau. Explain that they are used

interchangeably in most countries.

Guided Practice: Now turn to your neighbor and find out who thy are and where they

come from using the sentences and questions that we just learned. Then let your neighbor ask

you questions. Remember to answer in Spanish. Example, questions: ¿Cuál es su nombre?

Response: mi nombre es Juan or me llamo Juan. I will be walking around answering questions

and helping. (To help auditory and kinesthetic learners)

Independent Practice: Now we will be writing a short paragraph, minimum five sentences

maximum ten sentences, asking a friend about who they are. This must all be in Spanish. Use the

new vocabulary and questions that we learned today. (This is for the visual and kinesthetic

learners).
 Exit Slip: Now I, Argentine Gaucho man, will ask you about yourselves. The students

will answer in Spanish, using what they learned throughout the lesson. I will ask each student a

question.

5. Reflection

This lesson plan helps a Spanish 1 (first class in Spanish learning) student learn how to

introduce themselves. They also learn how to respond to people when they are asked their name

and where they are from. They can properly use greetings and farewells.

The teaching strategies are direct teaching, using the board. Then the students are allowed

to practice on their own.

Students must constantly be engaged in writing the new concepts down in their note

books. The student must also be prepared to ask his or her neighbor about themselves, as well as

write the short essay in Spanish.

I think the lesson is good in its attempt to teach new concepts to students and have them

practice it, this will help them retain the information. I think the weakness is that the students

may lose interest in the activity in which they ask a neighbor the questions. There is potential

here for being off task.
