Use and understand some basic vocabulary

Practice second-language learning and study techniques
Have fun!
Understandings: (Big Ideas)
Students will understand and be able to name animals in Spanish by looking at
pictures and having accompanying motions for each animal to better remember the
names.
Inquiry Questions: (Essential questions relating knowledge at end of the unit of
instruction, select applicable questions from standard)
Why is learning vocabulary (like animals) in another language important?
What are some strategies I can use to remember vocabulary words in another
language?
Evidence Outcomes: (Learning Targets)
Every student will be able to: (Create your own lesson objectives from the
standard, follow the ABCD format, using student voice)
I can: create a Spanish animal BINGO card without using English on the card
This means: I can listen to the name of each animal in Spanish, repeat the word
and create my BINGO card with pictures of each animal

List of Assessments: (Write the number of the learning target associated with
each assessment)
Students will be able to finish their BINGO card and participate in a couple rounds of
BINGO by listening to the animal name only in Spanish and covering the appropriate
animal.

Planned Lesson Activities

Name and Purpose of Lesson

Spanish Animal BINGO

Should be a creative title for you and the

students to associate with the activity.
Think of the purpose as the mini-rationale
for what you are trying to accomplish
through this lesson.

Approx. Time and Materials

How long do you expect the activity to
last and what materials will you need?

Anticipatory Set
The hook to grab students attention.
These are actions and statements by the
teacher to relate the experiences of the
students to the objectives of the lesson,
To put students into a receptive frame of
mind.
To focus student attention on the
lesson.
To create an organizing framework
for the ideas, principles, or
information that is to follow
(advanced organizers)
An anticipatory set is used any time a
different activity or new concept is to be
introduced.
How do you intend to engage your
students in thinking during the
Anticipatory Set?
Why are you using it at this point in

This activity will take up the entire class. Students will need a blank
BINGO card, a sheet with animal pictures on it, scissors and glue or tape
(the papers will be provided). They will also need a writing utensil. The
materials needed to play BINGO (something to cover each piece) will
also be provided by the teacher.
We will start the class by reviewing all the animals that are on the
BINGO card. This will probably involve motion as they say the name and
do the movement to help them remember each animal.

The strategy I intend to use is __movement and repetition____

I am using this strategy here because: getting up and moving helps get
the blood flowing and gets students ready to focus and learn

your lesson?
(Include a play-by-play account of what
students and teacher will do from the
minute they arrive to the minute they
leave your classroom. Indicate the length
of each segment of the lesson. List actual
minutes.)
Indicate whether each is:
-teacher input
-modeling
-questioning strategies
-guided/unguided:
-whole-class practice
-group practice
-individual practice
-check for understanding
-other

Before receiving their BINGO cards and other supplies, I will lead a quick
review of animal names by showing pictures and prompting the class as
necessary to say the name of each in Spanish. This will take about 10
minutes if the whole class participates efficiently.
Next, I will briefly explain what exactly we are doing (figuring out what
animal each picture is (in Spanish), cutting out the pictures one at a
time, and gluing them randomly on their BINGO card so everyone has a
different card). As a class, we will try to work at the same pace. To do
this, everyone will say the name of each picture, then cut it out and
finally glue it on their BINGO card. With about 20 different animals, I
anticipate that this whole process will take at least 25-30 minutes. To
try to move the class along in an efficient way, I will remind them that if
we finish early, we will be able to play BINGO as a class. With any
remaining time, we will play BINGO as a class. I will call out the name of
an animal in Spanish and the students will cover that animal on their
card. If anyone gets a BINGO, they will have to yell BINGO in Spanish
(loteria!) and name all the animals which they covered up. If they win,
they will have the choice of a candy prize or a peso (which is a reward
system used in the class).

Procedures

Why are you using it at this point in

your lesson?

Closure
Those actions or statements by a teacher
that are designed to bring a lesson
presentation to an appropriate conclusion.
Used to help students bring things
together in their own minds, to make
sense out of what has just been taught.
Any Questions? No. OK, lets move on is
not closure. Closure is used:

I am using this strategy here because: the more they repeat each
animal name, the more it will be engrained in their memory
As this will not be the end of a unit, the closure will simply be cleaning
up anything that needs to be from creating their BINGO cards and
making sure they keep their cards in their binders so that if Mrs.
Siripachana decides to use them again, they will have them ready. As
the students leave, we will make sure their area is clean and tell them
adios! as they leave the room along with two or three animal names
that they will remember along with the motions that they learned.

To cue students to the fact that

they have arrived at an important
point in the lesson or the end of a
lesson.
To help organize student learning
To help form a coherent picture and to
consolidate.

CLOSURE?

The strategy I intend to use is _verbal

assessment_______________________________

Why are you using it at this point in

your lesson?

I am using this strategy here because: It is a quick and easy way to

assess students on their way out the door to ensure that they did learn
something from the lesson.

Differentiation

For the more advanced students, I will challenge them to not have any
kind of cheat sheet of the animal names while playing BINGO, while for
the more challenged students, I will suggest that they write the names
down next to the pictures or have some easy way of looking at the
name so they can read off the names if they win and are required to do
so. However, I will challenge all students to do their best to remember
the names without help, even if it means having to do the motion
before they remember the name.
At the end of the lesson, on their way out the door, I will have each
student tell me two or three animal names (depending on their ability
level) that they now remember quite well based on the motions learned
and the game played. If they can name a couple of animals without
hesitation, I will know the lesson has been successful.

To modify: If the activity is too advanced

for a child, how will you modify it so that
they can be successful?
To extend: If the activity is too easy for a
child, how will you extend it to develop
their emerging skills?

Assessment
How will you know if students met the
learning targets? Write a description of
what you were looking for in each
assessment.

Post Lesson Reflection

1. To what extent were lesson objectives achieved? (Utilize
assessment data to justify your level of achievement)
a. Based on what I was able to cover the previous class period and
what the students remembered at the beginning of the lesson I
taught, I believe the motions which accompanied the names helped
the students remember at least a couple names, even though they
had only heard them a couple times before hand. However, I did
not have time to complete my planned verbal assessment on the
way out the door, so I am not entirely sure how much more they
learned by the end of this lesson.
2. What changes, omissions, or additions to the lesson would you
make if you were to teach again?
a. If I were to teach this lesson again, I think I would spend more time
on reviewing the names and motions at the beginning of the class
and leave the last bit of time for simply constructing their BINGO
cards and leaving the playing of the game for the next lesson. I
would also definitely leave enough time for an exit ticket involving
each student listing off at least two names they remember and also
performing the motion for at least one of these. This would take a
little more time at the end of the lesson, so I would need to
accommodate for enough time to do this.
3. What do you envision for the next lesson? (Continued practice,
reteach content, etc.)
a. The next lesson would be a fun day of review and playing BINGO.
The review would involve the students getting up and moving to
perform all the motions and perhaps coming up with their own
variations of the motions so they could remember them better.
Otherwise, they would get to play some BINGO and earn some
simple prizes if they won.
