Introduction (5 Minutes)

1. Greeting and Warm-up:
   Begin the lesson with a warm greeting in Spanish: "¡Hola! ¿Cómo están?" Encourage students to respond.

2. Objective Overview:
   Explain what students will learn during the lesson: how to tell the time in Spanish, both asking and giving the time.

Direct Instruction (10 Minutes)

1. Vocabulary Introduction:

   • Write down key vocabulary on the whiteboard:
     • “¿Qué hora es?” (What time is it?)
     • “Es la una.” (It is one o’clock.)
     • “Son las dos.” (It is two o’clock.)
     • “y cinco” (five past)
     • “y diez” (ten past)
     • “y cuarto” (quarter past)
     • “y veinte” (twenty past)
     • “y veinticinco” (twenty-five past)
     • “menos cinco” (five to)
     • “menos diez” (ten to)
     • “menos cuarto” (quarter to)

2. Using a Clock:

   • Use a clock to demonstrate how to tell the time. Show specific times and ask students to respond in Spanish.
   • For example, show 3:15 and ask, “¿Qué hora es?” Prompt students to answer, “Son las tres y cuarto.”

Guided Practice (10 Minutes)

1. Pair Work:

   • Divide students into pairs. Provide each pair with flashcards that have different times written on them.
   • Instruct students to take turns asking and answering about the time using the phrases learned. One student asks, “¿Qué hora es?” and the other responds with the appropriate answer.

2. Class Activity:

   • Call on pairs to share their dialogues with the class. Encourage correct pronunciation and offer corrections as needed.

Independent Practice (5 Minutes)

1. Worksheet Activity:

   • Hand out worksheets that contain various exercises related to asking and telling the time. For example, fill-in-the-blank exercises or matching times with the correct Spanish phrases.

2. Sharing Responses:

   • Once completed, ask students to check their answers with the person next to them. Walk around the class to monitor their progress and provide assistance as needed.

Conclusion (5 Minutes)

1. Review Key Vocabulary:

   • Recap the key phrases learned during the lesson. Ask for volunteers to demonstrate their learning by asking and telling the time in Spanish.

2. Exit Ticket:

   • As a closing activity, ask each student to write one question in Spanish that they can ask about the time, such as “¿Qué hora es?” Have them share their questions with the class as they exit.

Assessment:

• Informal assessment through participation in pair work and sharing of knowledge with the class.
• Review of completed worksheets to gauge understanding.

Extensions:

• For students who finish early or seek additional challenges, encourage them to write a short paragraph about their daily routine and include times in Spanish.
