I'm looking for lesson plans for the Spanish class I teach?

We Answered:

Look into the text series cuetame (I think that's the K-4 version). Go to the website tprsisfun.com (or google the author Carol Gaab). The method is TPRS and the cuentame series has been used with great sucess in early grades. If I have the wrong title, you can find the right title on the site. You can download a sample chapter, and the teacher guide is step-by-step (although if the method appeals to you, you will want to go to a TPRS workshop and find out more.)

Spanish lesson plans for 90 minute classes

We Answered:

Don't worry! I teach on a block schedule of 90 minute classes as well, and I love it! Here's a breakdown of how my class usually goes:

First 5-15 minutes: bell-ringer or warm up activity. I have this waiting for them as soon as they walk in, and they start on it immediately. It can test their knowledge in a new area or review something old.

30-45 minutes: Lesson time. We go over the day's lesson in depth, take notes, and practice. Students are encouraged to ask any questions or concerns they have during this time.

30-45 minutes: Independent or team practice. This is the time they work on the day's assignment. My students rarely have homework to take home. I usually walk around the room during this time helping anyone who needs assistance. If time permits, we go over the problems/exercises.

This is pretty much the routine. Some days it's different because of quizzes, tests, games, etc, but it's pretty easy to alternate. Don't feel like you need to TEACH the entire 90 minutes. Let them work independently for part of that time. It really works great. Good luck!

Where can I find good lesson plans or help in teaching Spanish?

We Answered:

I'm a French teacher in elementary school, not Spanish, so I'm probably not much help. Have you tried googling lesson plans? I have found tons of great activities on-line.
