"¡Hola, clase! Let's start our lesson with a quick review. Can anyone tell me what we learned in our last class about presenting in Spanish?
[Pause for responses]
"Great! Now, I want you to turn to your partner and share one thing you remember. Speak in Spanish and make sure you listen as well. You have 3 minutes. ¡Adelante!"
[Give students 3 minutes to discuss, then reconvene]
"Now, let’s all come back together. Who would like to share something interesting they discussed with their partner?"
[Encourage a few students to share their conversations]
"Excellent sharing, everyone! Today, we are going to build on those skills. Our main objectives are to improve our presentational speaking and writing skills. By the end of this lesson, each of you will have created a small presentation in Spanish and written a draft that supports your presentation.
"Remember the standards NH.PS.1 for speaking and NH.PW.1 for writing. These will guide our work today. Are there any questions about what we will be doing?"
[Pause for questions]
"Let’s dive into our group work!"
"Now, I will divide you into groups of four. Each group will brainstorm ideas for your presentation topic. Use the printable cards I’ve provided to jot down your ideas.
"You have 20 minutes for this activity. Make sure everyone in your group has a chance to share their thoughts.
"Ready? Let’s get started!"
[Monitor the groups as they work, assisting as needed]
"Time's up, everyone! Please return to your seats. Now, I want you to take a moment to focus individually. You’ll fill out your printable cards with the key points you would like to include in your writing.
"Think about your topic and organize your thoughts clearly. You have 15 minutes for this task. Go!"
[Allow students to work on their cards]
"Alright, let’s get back together. Now that you have your notes from the cards, it's time to draft your presentation.
"Remember to follow the guidelines I provided in the handouts. Go ahead and write your draft. Also, while you are writing, I encourage you to share your drafts with your group members for peer feedback. You have 20 minutes!"
[Support with any questions and encourage collaboration among students]
"Okay, pencils down! I would like to collect your filled-out cards. This will help me assess your understanding and give you feedback.
"Please pass your cards to the front or hand them to me as you leave the class."
"Now, take the next 5 minutes to prepare for your final presentations. Review your drafts and make sure you refer back to your cards for guidance.
"Focus on how you want to present your ideas clearly. Go ahead and get ready."
"Fantastic work today, everyone! Let’s recap what we’ve covered. We practiced warm-ups, brainstormed ideas in groups, drafted our presentations, and prepared to present.
"For homework, I want you to revise your presentation drafts and prepare for our group presentations in the next class. Also, please write a reflective paragraph about what you learned today regarding presentational speaking and writing.
"Any questions before you leave?"
[Answer any final questions]
"Great! Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to our presentations next class!"
