Lesson Overview/Summary:

getting acquainted, and making friends.  They will build on basic prior
knowledge skills and enhance their preexisting introductory dialogues.

 

Students Will Understand:

Students will understand the importance of learning practical Spanish dialogues that are used in real-life situations.  Students will realize that being able to speak speak Spanish can open doors of opportunities for them and these phrases will help them to achieve these goals.



Essential Questions:

What are the proper words to use in an introduction.
What are the proper gestures to use when meeting someone for the first time.
Should I speak formally, or informally?
What are the proper things to speak about when you first meet someone.  (not politics, religion, etc...)

of other peoples and cultures through the study of the target language and culture.
     Indicator 2.1:  Examine various interactions and patterns of behavior typical of the target culture.
     Benchmark 2.1:  Respond and interact according to the accepted cultural practices of the target culture.




Prerequisite Skills & Key Knowledge

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:


Students who have weaker speaking skills will be paired with a partner who has stronger speaking skills.

Assessment:

Students will be assessed on their KWHL charts and also on how well they present and speak through their "Meeting People" scenarios.  I will use a rubric to grade these.
