Introduction (Meal Time)

Hey ladies,

I have been able to create only one lesson plan thus far....this stuff i so time consuming.

I had trouble with my introduction. I have pretended that I am at a supermarket. The food and drink items will be placed iaround teh classroom and I will pretend that I am shopping according to my grocery list.

I will ask students the question "Que es esto/a? and they will be expected to give the name in english....I was wondering before I move on should the question or expression que es esto be included in the list of prerequisites??

I need a better introduction or some changes and enhancements done to this one....

What do you ladies think???

Oh the first lesson is the list of foods and drinks (vegetables and fruits; bread, cereal, pasta; milk, juice, water, milkshake, coffee, tea)

Not all of the fruots and vegetables will be given only a few.

Thanks!

El Tiempo

i would like to share part of my unit planning with you all in the hope of getting some helpful feedback. ill start with my unit plan objectives. there are three main objectives under the theme/topic: El Tiempo
objectives- at the end of this unit, students should be able to:
1. talk about the weather and describe the different weather conditions
2. write a weather forecast for each season
3. use the verb 'tener-to have' to express feeligns.

i also have a culminating activity and an evaluation. the culminating activity will be the creation of a poster featuring each students favourite season or weather condition.
the evaluation is going to be in the form of a role play with students acting as weather forecasters. each student will be given a country, a season and they will have to prepare a weather forecast and present it to the class. i have not yet developed the mark scheme. can anyone tell me besides pronunciation, what else can i grade them on?
all comments and suggestions are welcome.

Meal Time

Hey Girls,

As you may have known I have chosen the theme "Meal Time" for my unit plan asisgnment. What I would like to know is how should I cut down on my list of objectives and how should I change them around if they are not good enough.

Thanks!

Objectives: At the end of the unit, students should be able to-

1. Discuss their favourite foods
2. Compare their meal times to their classmates own
3. Talk about the different places they can eat
4. Design a menu for spanish cusine of their choice

My culminating activity will be role play. The students are supposed to order a meal at a restaurant.
