"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to dive into the topic of subject pronouns in Spanish. Before we get started, let’s take a moment to recall what subject pronouns are in English. Can anyone give me an example?"
[Pause for student responses.]
"Great! In English, we have pronouns like 'I', 'you', and 'he'. In Spanish, these pronouns are equally important. Let's take a quick look at the Spanish subject pronouns: yo, tú, él, ella, and more. These are essential for building sentences, and today we’ll learn how to use them correctly."
"Now, let's break down each subject pronoun in Spanish.
Let's look at some visuals to help reinforce these pronouns."
[Show presentation slides with visuals for each pronoun and example sentences.]
"Take a moment to memorize these pronouns as they form the foundation for our further discussions and practices today."
"Now, we’ll switch gears and engage in a fun group activity! I’d like to divide you into small groups of four. Each group will create sentences using the subject pronouns we discussed.
Make sure each group uses at least three different subject pronouns in your sentences. You’ll have about 10 minutes to work together.
After that, we’ll share what you come up with! Let's think creatively and encourage each other. Ready? Let’s go!"
[Allow students to work in groups.]
"Alright, everyone! Time's up! I hope you enjoyed that activity. Now, I want you to take out the worksheet I’ve provided.
For the next three minutes, work individually to complete the exercise, which focuses on identifying and using subject pronouns. Once you're finished, please raise your hand so I can check your work.
You can start now!"
[Monitor students as they work on the worksheets.]
"Fantastic work today, everyone! Now that we've practiced subject pronouns in class, I want to ensure you keep mastering them at home.
Your homework is to complete the assigned worksheet that reinforces today’s lesson. This homework will be due in our next class. Remember, I will check your understanding, but there’s no presentation involved. Do your best!"
"To wrap up today’s lesson, let’s quickly recap what we learned about subject pronouns. We discussed their names and meanings, created sentences in groups, and practiced individually.
Does anyone have any questions before we finish?"
[Address student questions.]
"Thank you all for your participation today! I look forward to seeing you next class and reviewing your homework!"
