Day 1 (add additional days as needed)
Sponge Activity (activity that will be done as students enter the room to
get them into the mindset of the concept involved)
Do Now: Write as many words (English or Spanish) as you can think of
that have to do with traveling. Think about trips you have taken in the
past and the kinds of things you saw and heard.
Anticipatory Set (focus question/s that will be used to get students
thinking about the days lesson)
What are some questions you would need to ask or words you would
need to know in order to travel in a Spanish-speaking country?
Activating Prior Knowledge (what information will be shared with/among
students to connect to prior knowledge/experience)
Try to think about words you have already learned in the past that have
to do with traveling. Brainstorm verbs, nouns, phrases, anything that
pertains to being in transit, taking a trip, or travel.
Direct Instruction (input, modeling, check for understanding)
-Show list of vocabulary on smartboard and give out handout that has
only the Spanish on it.
-Give students five minutes to look through the list, write down the
English translation of words they already know, and ask them to make
educated guesses about as many words as they can using etymological
clues, breaking up the words to recognize familiar suffixes, stems, or
prefixes, recognizing cognates, etc.
-Go through the list and for each word ask if anybody thinks they know it
and write the correct English translation on the smartboard while they
fill in their blanks on their handout.
Guided Practice (how students will demonstrate their grasp of new
learning)
-Put pictures up on the the smart board and ask students to come up to
the board and write the Spanish word and English translation next to
each picture, also have this slide of smartboard presentation printed out
as a handout so they can fill in themselves as we go along
-Put sentences up on the smart board with blanks where the vocab
words are and ask them to come up and fill them in. Also have a handout
for this slide for the students to fill in themselves.
Closure (action/statement by teacher designed to bring lesson
presentation to an appropriate close)
?????
Independent Practice (what students will do to reinforce learning of the
lesson)
Handout with a fill in the blank portion where students have to write the
words to complete the sentence and a section where the students are
given the word and have to write a sentence using it.

*each day leading up to the Vocab quiz, we will play Pop-Up vocab.*
This game is where each student is handed a card. On the bottom of the
card there is a Spanish word and on the top there is a
definition/translation for a different word. One student will start by
standing and reading the definition that they have. The student in the
room who has the card that has the word that the other student had just
described will then stand up, say the word, and read the next definition.
Students will continue doing this until the first student hears his/her
word defined and (s)he stands up to say the last word. They will be
timed, and we will switch cards and play the game until an optimum
time is reached. They will be rewarded for reaching the time.
