Spanish 1A & B, and 2A 2009 are available now. 1A has 219 pages with 33 complete lesson plans; 1B has 204 pages with 30 lesson plans; 2A has 195 pages with 30 lesson plans. Each book begins with a First Day lesson and includes tips and hints for setting up and managing your foreign language classroom, all my cooperative learning activities, quizzes and tests, two complete Sub Plans ready for use, a complete vocab list by lesson, and tons of new, “awesome” stick figure artwork. Includes CD-Rom of stories, quizzes, and tests in MS Word, which you can change to suit your liking.
These are my own lesson plans for high school Spanish 1 and 2, written out in painstaking detail. For each lesson, I’ve written standards-based objectives, a list of the target vocab for that lesson, a list of the materials needed, and step-by-step instructions for conducting the activities in the lesson.
Each lesson begins with a Warm-Up and includes comprehensible input techniques (TPR and Storytelling) for teaching the target vocab, reading, writing, and speaking activities that practice the same target vocab, partner work and/or cooperative learning activities so that students get up and move around the room at least once per period. The book includes all the reproducible masters you need to conduct my lessons.
There are two lesson plan books for level 1 high school Spanish, A and B, and one book for level 2 high school Spanish (A only right now.) Book A is the first half of the year, or one semester, and B is the continuation of it, or the second semester. I am now teaching on a modified block schedule, with three 50 minute periods during the week and one 75 minute period. The lessons will work with any schedule…complete as many activities as you can in a day, in order, and pick up where you left off the next day. Then turn the page when you finish a lesson and go on to the next. You may find that you finish book A before the end of one semester, or that it takes longer than a semester to finish book A. It doesn’t really matter. The lessons are sequential, building on each other. You just start with A and when you finish it, go on to B. You may, of course, modify the timing of tests, quizzes, warm-ups, etc. to fit your needs. These lessons plans are complete in and of themselves, but I don’t know of any reason you couldn’t blend them with any and all things you already do, to your heart’s content, including textbook lessons and exercises.
