* I will be teaching Basic Spanish Instruction to first graders. There are twenty students 11 girls,
9 boys. All student are american, and English speaking. The students are of average intelligence,
and range in age from 6-7 years old. There are no exceptionalities in the classroom.
*My objectives are to teach on Thursday the days of the week and how to count from one to ten
in Spanish. In order to teach the children how to do this I will show them a youtube video of a
song, a poster, and have them correspond with me on twitter about the week's lesson so far.
This will get them excited and make them want to learn about the lesson. Kids love the
computer, but first we will need to watch a few videos so we know the numbers and days of the
week. I will ask questions after each task to check for understanding. Then we can use the
computer for the correspondence. This is where the kids tell me about everythhing they hav
learned so far. They can tell me what they like best or what they do not like. I will ask all the
kids one at a time to stand up and tell me the days of the week and count from one to ten. All
the kids should know the days of the week and how to count from one to ten by the end of the
day with 95 percent accuracy.
* All students learn in a different way so to reach all the children I would start by showing the
visual aspects to get them intrigued. These can be poster. The videos can be used for viusal and
for the auditory learners. Then like a short little assessment we would let the students one at a
time tell me how to count from one to ten and the days of the week in Spanish. I would then ask
all the students to log onto their classroom twitters and tell me about their week so far. I am
teaching first graders so I would want to keep it fun and interactive. I would also make sure to
introduce myself for review from the day before, and pick up different items and shapes and ask
different students what each is, and make sure to incorporate everything we have already
learned. This works as a building block. We build on prior knowledge.
* I will require all student to participate in all activities. I want all students watching the videos
and playing the game and discussing the poster. I will require all students to gie me a twitter
update of the week. There will be a rubric for the grading and learning particaption will be a big

2. part of the grade. Students cannot learn if the do not participate. We will again go over the
previous lessons at the end of the week with some review.
