know your students so you know what will work best)

Activity #1:
Give students the guidelines for the market, the restaurant or the cooking show skit and have them decide what they would like to do
as a group. (You can find these at the bottom of the lesson plan document) This lesson plan will take some planning and time to finish.
Students:
1. Each group of students will come up with a team idea of what will happen on the skit that they choose. Then they will assign
part and begin developing the dialogue in English.
2. Once the dialogue is complete, students will practice it, at least one time, in English to make sure that everything works
fluently and if necessary, they will make changes where needed.
3. After testing out the dialogue, it is time to begin translation from English to Spanish and for this student will use
wordreference.com.
4. The students will be responsible to practice, memorize and act out the skit in Spanish.

Teacher:
1. Teacher will create a schedule and set up time to work individually with each group to review their translations and give
suggestion on how to improve the skit.
2. Teacher will find a room; reserve the necessary recording equipment that each group will need to record their project.
Talk to the media specialist and ask for her help in recording students projects, if she has a camera she can record with
that equipment, if not they can use Ipads or Iphones.
If your school has a media and technology class you might want to talk to the instructor and ask him/her to help with
this project.
Make sure that you also ask the culinary teacher to use her room if the case some of the groups decide to do the
cooking skit.
3. The teacher will evaluate students performance according to a rubric.

Differentiation:
For students that do not perform well in public and those that do not work well in groups, the teacher will come up with an alternative
plan.
If the student in question does well with research projects, the assignment could be about creating a menu that is typical from
one of the Spanish speaking countrys or a research on foods that are typical of a famous holiday.
Assessment:
Informal:
Students will be informally evaluate at the progress through the project, and their active participation in the group
Formal:
Students will be formally evaluated according to the rubric

Mercado
Expectations:
Students will create an interactive scene where they will talk only in Spanish to each other.
They will use several vocabularies: food, numbers (for money), greetings, and expressions of courtesy.

Objectives
Sellers
Each student will have designated objects that they will be selling. We are limited by the quantity and
diversity of our plastic objects so students will have to be creative in their grouping of foods.
The sellers will describe each food group with a particular adjective (be creative) and come up with a price.
Once all vendors are set and have price and descriptions for their foods, as a group you will come up with
a list that the buyer needs to buy and pay for.
Buyer
The student that is the buyer will have to follow the list and buy every item on the list. At the end of the
shopping part, the buyer will pull out all items and again retell the name of the foods that he/she bought.

Cooking show
Expectations:
Students will create an interactive scene where they will talk only in Spanish to each other.
They will use several vocabularies: food, numbers (for money), greetings, and expressions of courtesy.

Objectives
The students will take turns doing the tasks to bake a cake and describing all the tasks in Spanish. This will
be a real life situation so I expect these students to take the cooking seriously and try to do the best they
are able.
