Activity 1 (Time: 10 mins)

Rationales:
This activity engages students to begin the class thinking in Spanish. They will get
in the habit of completing these activities each day. Even though the task may
vary, they are always required to write it in their notebooks and to date it. It has
been noticed that students werent being held accountable for the work they
contribute in their notebooks, which should be diffused when the teacher reminds
students that the work they put in their notebook will be part of their grade. The
dominoes contain the new and old vocabulary words and provide students with
additional practice.

The teacher will then say levanta la mano and will read
the new vocabulary terms (preocupado, aburrido, triste,
ocupado) in Spanish and students will repeat each word.
The teacher will ask if anyone knows what the word
means.
The teacher will state the English translation for the

their dominoes for two minutes and teacher will set the
timer. The teacher will pass back any papers while they
are working.
The timer will go off and the teacher will ask students to
put away their dominoes.
The teacher will remind students to study their
vocabulary words and to practice their conjugations.

How will you check for your students understanding during this activity? In
other words, how will you know if students have met the learning objectives of
this activity?
Based on the responses they give in the class discussion. Teacher will determine if
they understand the vocabulary if they can put their dominoes together, if they
are able to give the actions of the commands. When we look over the notebooks,
we will also know if they are staying on task by what they are writing in it.
Transition: The teacher will pass out the chapter 2 packets.

Activity 2 (Time: 20 mins)

Rationale: Before introducing new material, the students will be reviewing
what was covered yesterday. The students are reminded of the different
feelings vocabulary with TPR and also when the teacher reads through it in the
book. The teacher has students work with the material in a similar activity they
did yesterday, to give them additional writing practice of what they practiced
speaking yesterday. The teacher checks students homework before going over
the answers to ensure that all students are completing their work. The correct
answers are highlighted on the board and students have the opportunity to
correct their work so they have the correct information to study for their quiz.

Once the ten minutes is up, the teacher will tell students
to fill in the remaining sentences as homework. If they
dont have dice, they can create their own combinations,
just dont repeat the same sentence.
The teacher will call on students to write the answers
from the homework on the board. The teacher will tell
students to be checking each others work as they are
waiting.
The teacher will highlight the correct answers. The
teacher will ask students what is still confusing?

How will you check for student understanding?

Have students show me a thumbs up, sideways or down with how they
are comprehending the new material. Also, when they raise their hands
to indicate a correct response.
Transition: The teacher will ask students to keep out their packets so they can
take notes.
