Explain manotado for the students who
may have not played it before: I will call
of a word in Spanish twice. When you
hear the word, try to hit the proper
picture before your partner does. Only
your first hit counts. Whoever hits the
correct picture first wins that round and
receives a point. If neither partner hits the
correct picture or, the time runs out, the
teachers receive a point. After a few
seconds, I will ring the bell and tell the
word in English to let you know who won
the round.
Read off one word at a time, repeating it
twice and giving the English equivalent
after ringing the bell.
Continue play until around 7 minutes
before the end of class.
Have the students add up points and see
who won the game. Then pack up their
flash-cards with a paperclip to make sure
they do not use them and remind the
students that we will be using them again

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas
for improvement for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did
not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson.
While creating this lesson I learned several important things:
1. This takes much longer than it seems like it should.
2. Creating supplementary materials, almost takes longer than the actual lesson writing itself
3. UDL can prove challenging to implement.
4. It is very difficult to predict how long each activity will take.
I am hoping that as I continue to write my lessons, they will get easier and take less time to complete. This
project is giving me a new appreciation for what my teachers do every day for 5-10 classes, and it seems
even more impressive now that I have had to do the same for 3 classes.

Introduce speed game competition.
Explain rules: everyone will be told a
word in English and they must give the
Spanish word or item from our list of
kitchen vocabulary, so you will want to be
paying attention as we go. We will start at
the front corner, and work our way
around the room like a snake. Everyone
will stand up to start, and after you hear
your word and reply with your Spanish
word you will sit down. Each person will
way one vocabulary word then the next
person will go. There are no repeats until
all the words have been used once. This is
a competition between all three 7th grade
classes. Your class will have four tries to
get the quickest time you can. The class
with the fastest time will receive a prize!
Are there any questions?
Keep track to the times and record the
fastest one.
Transition to next activity; put up
PowerPoint with kitchen pictures. Please
get a paper and pencil out.
Explain the activity: In the picture that I
will put up, there will be all of the new
items that you learned. You and a partner
will work together to find all 19 of the
items and give a description of the item
and where it is located. For example: you
could say that the mixer is black and is on
the table. You will have 20 minutes to find
as many items as possible and to write
them down. At the end of the time,
whichever team has the most correctly
written sentences, will receive a prize!
Are there any questions?
Walk around and watch to monitor
student progress, also watch for cheating.
Ask students to put their papers in the box
with their names and class on the top, and
tell them that winners will be announced
the following class.
Ask students to push in their chairs

Students will respond, giving different


words for example: La lata, la caja, etc.

Students will listen to the directions, and


ask any questions they may have.

Students will complete challenge trying to


get the fastest time.
Students will get out paper and a pencil.

for improvement for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did
not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson. I am beginning to realize how hard it is to cross
curriculum lines with this topic. Kitchens are not something that most subjects talk about. I found that I
can make a connection to the technology GLCES for Michigan in several places in my unit, but other than
that I have not yet found a way to do that.
I am hopeful that the speed competition will work as a motivator for the students. Since they must know the
vocabulary to go quickly, I hope that this causes them to desire to study the vocabulary and work on
learning it.

Write er endings on the board in the verb

are used for ir verbs too.
Introduce Chutes and ladders conjugation
game. Explain rules: Players will all start
at square 1. Players all roll the dice and
the highest number goes first, play
continues clockwise. Player 1 rolls the die
and then must draw a card from the deck
and conjugate the verb and create the
sentence. If the player conjugates it
correctly and creates the correct sentence,
they may move their game piece forward
the number of spaces they rolled. If they
do not, they must stay on their current
space. If you land on a square that a
ladder starts on, you will climb the
ladder and move your game piece to the
square where the ladder ends. If you land
at the top of a chute, you must go down
the chute and move your game piece to
the bottom of the chute. The first player to
make it to square 100 wins the game.
Hand out the boards and dice.
Students will play the game for the
remainder of class. Teacher will circulate

for improvement for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did
not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson. While creating it, I had to wrestle with how to create an
effective activity that would combine everything that they have learned thus far, while still being
interesting and engaging for the students. My solution was to create an adaptation of Chutes and Ladders,
which was one of my favorite childhood games. While this is an effective review tool, I was not fully aware
of how much time I would have to spend making it and the materials that go along with it, such as game
cards and finding the game board, player pieces, dice, etc. I found myself asking if there was an easier way,
but the solutions I continued to arrive at were not motivating or engaging for the students. Looking back
at my own language class, I have begun to wonder about the choices that my teacher made to use the kill
and drill method. Was it because she thought that it was a good method, or was it simply that she did not
have enough time to create all of the needed materials for other activities.

Introduce the compare and contrast


activity. Hand out the pictures, two to a
group. Each of you has a picture of a
kitchen. Take turns asking and answering
questions about the items in your kitchen.
For example partner 1 will ask the other
partner if they have a toaster, and partner
2 will answer yes there is a toaster or no
there is not, and then Ask a question in
return. Each partner must Ask and
Answer 10 questions Monitor the students,
walking around and offering help with
pronunciation and sentence structure.
Introduce the project. Hand out the rubric
and explain the requirements and due
date. In place of an exam, you will all be
creating an iMovie project. The movie will
show activities that are happening in the
kitchen. This can be making dinner,
getting ready for school in the morning,
baking cookies, whatever you want, be
creative. Your project must contain at
least 20 complete sentences including 10
er/-ir verbs and 10 vocabulary word from
this chapter. The project will be due next
class, so you will have the remainder of
today to plan your storyline and
sentences. You should film it at home in
your kitchen. You can have other people
in your family be the subject in the movie,
but you must be the one doing the talking
in Spanish.
Walk around and help students get started,
check ideas, etc Ask about the
differences they see and why they occur.

not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I have not had the opportunity to teach this lesson in my classroom. While making this lesson I was
thankful that all of my students have a MacBook Air. It made the assignment fair, and took away the
opportunity for students to say that they were unable to finish it at home due to the lack of computer
access. Also all of the computers have built in webcams, so they do not have to record with a camera and
then try to upload their videos to a computer. I like the idea of doing this project in place of a test, because
it allows me to hear how the students are doing on their pronunciation, and it is something that they can
feel proud of making.

Re-introduce speed game competition.


Explain rules for anyone who was absent
or forgot: everyone will be told a word in
English and they must give the Spanish
word or item from our list of kitchen
vocabulary, so you will want to be paying
attention as we go. We will start at the
front corner, and work our way around
the room like a snake. Everyone will stand
up to start, and after you hear your word
and reply with your Spanish word you will
sit down. Each person will way one
vocabulary word then the next person will
go. There are no repeats until all the
words have been used once. This is a
competition between all three 7th grade
classes. Your class will have two more
tries to beat the previous fastest times. The
class with the fastest time will receive a
prize! Are there any questions?
Keep track to the times and record the
fastest one.
Remind the students that their projects are
due today. Talk about how to submit them
via airdrop. After explaining how to do it,
give the students 5 minutes to submit their
movies.
Tell students the plan for the rest of the
class. Students, for the rest of the class we
will have the opportunity to watch several
of the movies you made! Is there anyone
who would like to volunteer to show
theirs? Pick a student to share their movie.
Continue to show movies up until 3
minutes before the end of class.
Ask how many students still would like to
show their movies. If there is a large
number, tell them that we will continue
watching the movies the next class.

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas
for improvement for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did
not teach this lesson, focus on the process of preparing the lesson.)
I have not been able to teach this lesson in my classroom. In this lesson the students are given the
opportunity to share their iMovie projects with the class. I feel that by telling them in advance that their
peers will be seeing the movies, it make the students want to do their best, since they do not want to look
bad in front of their friends. It also allows them to see what others did and see the many different ways the
project could have been done. It is also a sneaky way to have them hear the vocabulary repeatedly, without
them becoming bored or feeling too repetitive, since all of the movies will be unique.
