This document provides an instructional plan for a lesson teaching past tense verbs to Spanish-speaking students. The plan includes learner objectives to identify regular and irregular past tense verbs. The rationale is that students need to use past tense for communicating past events. The lesson involves students reading a text and identifying regular and irregular past tense verbs, then writing a paragraph using the verbs. The teacher's role is to guide students, monitor their work, and create a positive learning environment.

5. RATIONALE In a real context the students need to communicate in different situations, the use of past tense is very required when they want to situate an action in the past. They need to distinguish from regular and irregular verbs, so they can make the necessary changes, without making mistakes in the form of the past tense of the different verbs.

17. Classroom management Plan

18. CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT Comfortable, neat, and clean classroom; 20 to 25 students in group work organization .

19. PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT We believe students need to develop a feeling of responsibility. The classroom needs to be a safe and secure environment for all students before positive learning can begin. The strengths of students need to be understood and utilized and weaknesses need to be addressed in a positive way. Discipline is the responsibility of the person to him or her self and to the greater community. Discipline is being respectful to one’s self and to others.

20. CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION In a lockstep organization the students receive the instructions of the teacher, this is because all of them will get the same information, this is for the first part of the session when the teacher explains the activities and gives the handouts. The teacher will organize the next activities (reading and underlining) in an individual work. In group work the students will classify the regular and irregular verbs in the text, putting them in a table. In pair work the students will write a short paragraph about past events.

21. CLASSROOM PRESENCE AND CONTROL The instructions given by the teacher will be in a clear way for the students, using vocabulary they have already mastered. The instructions will be written in the whiteboard. Motivate students for taking the risk to speak.

22. TEACHERS ROLES Organizer. The teacher will organize carefully all the activities done in class by students. Giving the correct instructions. Guide and monitor: in this stage the teacher will monitor the reading solving any doubt, to correct mistakes and guide the next activities.

23. ENRICHING THE ATMOSPHERE The teacher will create a positive classroom climate, creating an effective learning environment, creating confidence in the students so they can take the risk and participate in class. Motivating the students using dynamics and strategies. Even though some times we have many students, we need to take a look at the students in an individual way, calling them by their names and establish limits in the relationship.

24. Lesson planning principles can be applied to the design of effective English Lenguaje lessons. Lesson planning is an essential tool that every beginning teacher must exercise because of many reasons: Lead you through the class, have something tangible to come back o wherever you feel lost. To review any teaching point( grammar, vocabulary etc.) Combine different activities or exercises thinking about the students characteristics. There are conditions that need to be addressed include thoughts on physical conditions of the classroom , noise, seating, lighting, taking notes. In the lesson planning we must identify strategies to facilitate learning in large groups; strategies to manage the dynamics of discusión. Strategies that involve cooperative/collaborative learning in the classroom. Conclusions and reflections

25. Different formats for lesson planning are used by different institutions, lesson are different in structures and style. It is important to decide which component you should include in your plan. A plan can be a medicanism for decisión making, helping the teacher think about content, materials, sequencing, timing, and activities. The two most important principles behind good lesson planning are variety and flexibility. An effective classroom management identify and demostrate knowledge of principles and a range of strategies to promote positive relationship, cooperation and purposeful leraning in the class. The physical conditions of the classroom should be the best posible, so students feel comfortable. Every teaching situation is going to have advantages and disadvantages. The classroom should be heat, clean and orderly in appearence. Blackboards should be erased. Chairs are appropiately arranged take advantage of visuals. The classroom should be free of external noises.
