“Hola, estudiantes! Welcome to our Spanish class today! I’m so excited to kick off our lesson on Introductions, Class Rules, and Procedures. This is a very important topic because it helps us create a welcoming classroom environment where everyone feels comfortable to share and learn together. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to introduce yourself in Spanish and understand our class rules and procedures. Let’s get started!”
“Before we dive into our class rules, let’s do a fun icebreaker! I want you all to pair up with someone near you. Remember, you can’t pick the same partner as someone else. Once you find your partner, I want you to introduce yourselves using Spanish! You’re going to share your name, where you’re from, and your favorite hobby.
For example, you might say: ‘Hola, me llamo [your name], soy de [your country], y mi pasatiempo favorito es [your hobby].’ You have 5 minutes to do this. Ready, set, go!”
“Great job with the introductions, everyone! Now, let’s move on to our class rules. I will pass out handouts that list our class rules in both Spanish and English.
(Distribute the handouts)
Now, let’s go through these rules together.
If you have any questions or thoughts about these rules, we can discuss them right now. Can anyone tell me why they think it's important to follow these rules?”
“Now, it’s time for a fun activity! I’m going to give each of you a printable card.
(Distribute the printable cards)
On these cards, I want you to write:
Take 10 minutes to fill out your cards. If you need help, raise your hand, and I’ll come to assist you!”
“Now that you have your cards filled out, let’s practice sharing! I want you to once again pair up but this time try to find a different partner.
You will take turns sharing your cards with each other. Remember to introduce yourself and then share your class rule. You have 5 minutes for this. Go ahead!”
“Fantastic job sharing, everyone! Now, I would like to collect your cards so I can check how well you understand your introductions and our class rules.
(Collect the cards)
For those who do not want to share their card with the class, I will be doing random checks, so make sure you all did your best work! Thank you for participating today; your efforts really helped us build our classroom community!”
“For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph in Spanish about a classmate or one of the rules we discussed today. Use the vocabulary we practiced in class to reinforce what you learned. Please be ready to share your homework during our next lesson.
Thank you all for a wonderful class today, and I can’t wait to see your work!”
