For the past few classes we have been working on lesson plans. We were given a template and then had to come up with our own lesson. Since I am majoring in Spanish, I constructed my lesson for an Elementary Spanish class. My lesson is called, "Me Gusta Aprender" which means, I like to learn. In my lesson, the students learn how to express likes and dislikes using the "me gusta/n" formation. In addition, my lesson focused on learning new vocabulary. Expressing likes, dislikes, and personal preferences and learning new vocabulary are two of the state curriculum standards for Elementary Spanish. My lesson also incorporated technology as the students are to construct a graph with the teacher's assistance displaying the class's likes and dislikes. With this, the students are also able to meet a NETS-S.
After we finished our lesson plan, we did a peer review. I think peer reviews are helpful because it is done by a peer who is working on the same thing you are. In that case, they know what you are supposed to be doing and may catch a mistake or error that you might not see.
Overall, I am glad we did this activity. So far, I haven't had any experience with lesson planning and I think this was a good way to get started. Having the template made it a lot easier than it otherwise would have been.
