Lesson Overview/Summary:

 

Students will learn how to check in and out of a hotel and how to order room service in that hotel.  They will create individual powerpoints creating different scenarios that will be shown in class.

 

Students Will Understand:

Students will understand the importance of learning practical Spanish dialogues that are used in real-life situations.  Students will understand how these dialogues can help them in survival situations in which they
might need to use their Spanish speaking skills. 


Essential Questions:

How do I find a hotel in a Spanish speaking country?
How do I ask how much the rooms are?
How do I learn the proper phrases necessary to check in and out of a hotel?
How do I order room service?





Standard Based Goals & Objectives:

Benchmark 1.4c:  Use a variety of language strategies to convey meaning.
Standard 3:  Students will use world language to increase their understanding  of the home language and culture.




Prerequisite Skills & Key Knowledge:

My Spanish II class will have to have a developed understanding of the present and preterit tenses.
The understanding of how to communicate with another culture.
Skills necessary to go through the math to do an exchange rate of U.S. currency and pesos or pesetas.
The basic Spanish vocabulary to help develop better sentence fluency.

  Special Considerations:

Resource students will be work on their own but will get extra help from some students who have stronger skills with creating power point presentations.

Assessment:

I will use a rubric to grade the power point presentation, and especially the content of dialogue that is in each powerpoint.
