What do I know about my studentsthatwill inform this lesson?
I know my studentsand their varying levelsof knowledge in Spanish grammar and syntax. This dual
enrollmentFIU classis composed of mostly all Spanish native and heritage speakers.Also most of the
studentsare Miami raised and born andof Cubandescent. They are engagedstudentsthatare mostly
intrinsically motivated which is shownby their choice to dual-enroll.I know that I mustassess the group
presentationskeeping the aforementioned in mind, using the rubric given to the studentsin the previous
lesson.This rubric will be gradingthe students’ability to eloquently and orallypresent written
information on slides thatuse correct grammar, syntax, vocabulary,and verb tenses. Also, they will be
gradedon their written handoutsthatcomplement the powerpoint, acting as notesthat their peers will
be able to use to study for the unit test on Spain.
How does this lessonconnect with and build on the previous lesson(s)?
The studentsarepresenting an oral PowerPoint presentation with an accompanying written handoutin
order to demonstratetheir ability to speak andwrite using the correct terminology, grammar,and
syntax thatis specific to Spain and its unique characteristics previously discussed in class.
