Lesson Objectives

• The students will use the computer in class to
  provide them with information about their topic
  this includes using the computer for homework and
  in-class assignments. Using the computer will
  help the students because they will be able to
  look up examples to help them with their
  assignment. I also want to keep in mind that the
  students will be taught the right way to use the
  internet, which means not surfing the web and
  staying on topic.

Lesson Objectives Cont.

• I want the students to know that using the
  internet will be a helpful tool and it can only
  help them through lessons. This will help my
  students become more responsible by checking
  every day before leaving class what they next
  assignment is on the online syllabus.
• The students will learn how to create a Word
  Document and the internet to complete assignments
  in and out of class.

Introduce Learning Activity

• The lessons we will be covering are the days of
  the week, and how to tell time. This all sounds
  like a lot but it really all fits together and is
  quite simple once you get used to it. Whenever I
  think about the days of the week I think about
  the days of the week song, and when you sing it
  in Spanish it rhymes just like English and with
  times its all about memorization. In order for
  the students to know how to use the computer I
  will go over the process of getting on the
  website on the overhead projector.

5
Introduce Learning Activity Cont.

• With you guys learning the days of the week and
  times of the day each student will be able to not
  only write the dates on top of papers but , each
  student will be asked routine questions at the
  beginning of class to see if they know the
  material. Also for future tests it will be good
  to know these basic things.
• The computers will help each student to organize
  assignments to be handed in. Also each student
  will be able to use the internet for back up and
  reinforcements on assignments in case they forget
  something.

6
Provide Information

• With this system, I am going to allow each
  student to go back and fix their mistakes. I
  wouldnt use grades if I didnt have to so I will
  allow them to go back and correct their
  assignments so each student can get the best
  grade as possible. Even though I will be allowing
  students to go back and correct they will also be
  expected to study outside of class and the final
  assessment will not be able to be corrected.

7
Provide Information Cont.

• The only rule I will have is that, when they go
  on the computer and correct their mistakes, I
  will ask each student to provide an explanation
  of why it was wrong and how to fix it. I think it
  is completely fine to make mistakes I just want
  them to know that I am being fair. In order for
  you to give me the same amount of respect instead
  of cheating show me you found the correct answer
  and why it was wrong.

8
Provide Practice

• With learning the days of the week and times of
  the day after the lecture we will do a number of
  activities. The activities will consist of online
  work and a conversation with me about your weekly
  routine.

9
Provide Practice Cont.

• The first activity we will do is time of the day
  bingo I will hand out bingo boards with the
  English times on the board. I will yell out the
  Spanish translation for that time, in order to
  win the students has to fill in a line or
  diagonal line and then repeat to me all their
  times in Spanish.
• We will then play a game on the internet we will
  play until everyone wins, this game will help
  with memorization and also with accessing the
  website. http//wvde.state.wv.us/Spanish/IAct/Days

Provide Knowledge of Results

• After doing these two activities I will have each
  student get onto the computer again and have then
  get on Microsoft Word.
• Each student will make a Word document about
  their daily routine. They will write down each
  day of the week and their schedule with times of
  things going on during the day. They will then
  print and trade with another member of the class,
  the students will grade each others work correct
  their mistakes and give them back.

11
Provide Knowledge of Results Cont.

• I will walk around the room at this time and see
  if everyone is on the right track and staying on
  topic. With these corrections they should retype
  their schedule and print it out to be handed in
  at the end of class.

12
Review Activity

• After this I will do a review of what we have
  gone over. This will give the students the chance
  to ask any questions they may have. After they
  ask questions, I will do a review of the material
  to answer any of the questions some people may
  have no asked.
• During the review I will go around the room
  randomly and I will say a time or day of the week
  in English and have them tell me it in Spanish
  and vice-versa. With doing this they will prove
  to me that they know not only how to translate a
  word in Spanish but also in English which is very
  important.

13
Review Activity Cont.

• If I notice some students arent really picking
  up on this I will send the other half to the
  computers. They will continue to do practice on
  the internet as I give the others extra one on
  one help.

14
Method of Assessment

• As I stated before I will have a conversation
  between me and the student to test their ability
  on this lesson. I will be evaluating each
  students keeping in mind their homework
  assignments, and participation in the other parts
  of the lesson.
• I will ask them their daily routine, see if they
  are able to answer my questions and hopefully
  have them realize that they are now making
  sentences. And also having a conversation which
  is a very important part of learning a different
  language.

15
Method of Assessment Cont.

• Along with the conversation, if they had done the
  previous assignment of typing their daily routine
  and gotten feedback from me and their fellow
  students they will hand that in as well. When
  thinking about the conversation if they did all
  the work they would be set.
