This lesson plan is for a Spanish 1 class of 18 students ages 11-14, including 2 males with ADHD. The students have limited Spanish knowledge and have not studied this unit's material before. The plan involves students working in groups to research and present on 5 Spanish-speaking country holidays using multimedia. Students will be evaluated on their presentation as well as class participation and retention of the holiday information. Students and the teacher will also evaluate the effectiveness of the unit and lessons.

Lesson Plan: Day 5
ANALYZE LEARNERS: This unit is intended for a group of students ages 11-14. There are a
total of 7 males and 11 females, and 2 of the males have ADHD
Entry Competencies: All of these students are Spanish I students, so they have a very
limited knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. None of the students have
previously studied the material of this unit before.
Learning Styles: I have analyzed that these students learn best with project-based
learning. All of the students enjoy working in a group, but two of the girls do not enjoy
speaking in front of the class. Project-based learning also works very well for the students
with ADHD. I must keep the classroom moving at a steady pace, not spending too much
time on one topic or activity.
STATE OBJECTIVES:
Audience: Students ages 11-14, two with ADHD
Behavior: Students will become familiar with 5 different holidays in Spanish-speaking
countries. Students will work in cooperative groups in order to research their assigned
holiday, complete learning activities, and present to the class on the holiday they
researched.

2. Conditions:
1. Students who did not present their projects the previous day will immediately
begin doing so.
2. Volunteers will be taken first, then selections will be made by the teacher at
random if there are no volunteers.
3. Students will engage their classmates in their presentation with the use of
multimedia (videos, pictures, etc.) Students were allowed to use Prezi,
PowerPoint, or a storytelling video in order to make their presentations.
4. The instructor will evaluate the participation of all group members in the
delivering of the presentation.
Degree: By the end of the unit, students will identify all 5 of the holidays we discussed in
class, and be able to adequately describe 3 aspects of the celebrations in different
cultures.
SELECT METHODS, MEDIA, AND MATERIALS:
1. The day will begin with students presenting their projects to the class.
2. Students will present their own material to the class.
UTILIZE MEDIA AND MATERIALS:
Preview the Materials: As the teacher, I have required that all students show their
presentations to me using Dropbox before presenting to the class. This allows me to
preview all material and media included to ensure appropriateness for the classroom.

3. Prepare the Materials: I will have all media set up in the classroom before the students
arrive and make sure that students can easily access their presentations.
Prepare the Environment: While students are making presentations, students will be set
in rows to ensure that full attention is at the front of the classroom. This will allow the
students who are presenting to effectively communicate to their peers, free from
distraction.
Prepare the Learners: I will begin my presentation by reminding the students of the
objectives of the lesson, and also the guidelines for the evaluation at the end of the unit.
All students will be aware of what is expected of them, and are instructed to pay close
attention and participate in all discussions and presentations, as class participation is not
optional. All students are reminded of the etiquette they must follow when participating
in an audience to the presentations of other students. All students are required to be quiet,
attentive, and respectful to their classmates.
Provide a Learning Experience: I will use full enthusiasm and excitement to engage the
learners and optimize the learning experience. Getting the students interested, involved,
and informed is my top priority. After each presentation, we will shortly discuss, as a
class what was covered in the presentation and the class will have opportunity to ask
questions of the presenters.
REQUIRE LEARNER PARTICIPATION:

4. Aside from the initial instruction, this entire unit requires learner participation. All
discussions are open to, and required from, each and every student. Participation in group
work and presenting is also required from every student. Students who are not
comfortable with public speaking may create some other form of result such as a podcast
to play for the class, or a video of their portion of the presentation. I must be able to
clearly see that they have participated and can effectively communicate the components
of their topic. The students will also be evaluated by what I observe of their participation
during the class discussions. This will measure the required degree mentioned in the
above sections.
EVALUATE AND REVISE:
Assessment of Learner Achievement: Students will be evaluated on a 100 point scale,
their presentation being their assessment. A rubric is provided. Each student is evaluated
according to the same rubric, to ensure fairness. After all presentations have been given,
the instructor will generate class discussion to assess what the students have retained
from the unit. We will discuss the different holidays and the different aspects of their
celebrations in different Spanish-Speaking countries.
Evaluation of Media and Methods: Students will be asked to give, individually, an
evaluation of how effective they feel the unit was and how much they feel that they
benefited from the methods used. They will be asked to identify what they liked most and
least about the unit. Students will be asked to create a blog in which they can reflect on
their projects and post an evaluation on not only how they think they did on their project,
but also evaluating the assignment and how the unit was structured, making suggestions

5. for future improvements. Students will post a link to their blog on the class Edmodo
page.
Evaluation of Overall Instruction: I will, in evaluating the lesson, take into account the
students’ final grades of the unit, the students’ evaluations of the unit, and revise the
lesson for future use, as needed, according to all of these factors.
