**Unit Plan Choice Lesson Plan #2: Vocabulary!**

**Title:** Vocabulary related to las bellas artes!


 * Level:** High School Spanish 1st or 2nd year, grades 9-12


 * Description:** Focusing on the vocabulary from the chapter by doing a few short exercises out of the book and then playing Pictionary.


 * Rationale:** Students will have had some exposure to the vocabulary and homework so the material won’t be totally brand new. The vocabulary consists of words related to the fine arts and will be helpful for students to know to talk about movies, theatre, art, etc. It will also be needed to complete their presentations in the following weeks. The first exercise that the students will do out of the book shows pictures of the vocabulary words and the students will have to write the word that corresponds to the picture. The second activity is a fill-in-the-blank activity where there is a sentence missing one of the vocab words and the students will have to choose the correct word out of the four choices. After this students will split into two groups and play pictionary (using vocabulary words)! They will be racing each other to see whose team can guess the drawing first.

Standards: **  __Communication__ 1.1.N.SL.h- Exchange information in the target language on familiar topics such as personal interests, memorable experiences, school activities, and family life 1.2.N.R.a- Demonstrate understanding of written classroom language in the target language __Comparisons__ 4.1.N.a- Identify basic differences and similarities in vocabulary between one’s own language and the target language (cognates and borrowed words)
 * Objective:** Students will be beginning to recognize/memorize the vocabulary words for this unit. They will have had to draw pictures for the words or had to recall the words several times and this is following homework and a TPRS activity the previous couple of days. Knowing the words will enable them to read about, write about, and talk about the fine arts as well as understand when other people are discussing it with them.

1. Textbook 2. Paper/pencil 3. Dry-erase board and markers/ chalkboard and chalk 4. 2 copies of the vocabulary words on small slips of paper 5. Dulces!
 * Materials:**

1. Ask students in Spanish about any movies or plays that they have been to recently and then a few follow up questions that include some of the vocabulary words (i.e. what **actor** or **actress** was in the movie? Was there a long **line** to get in? Etc.) (5 min.) 2. Have students take out there books and do activity 7 on page 312. When most students seem to be done we will go through the answers as a class. (10 min.) 3. Then ask students to do Activity 9 on page 313. When most students are done, have students switch papers and correct each other’s. (10 min.) 4. Collect papers. (2 min.) 5. Divide class in half (right down the middle.) Have a list of the vocabulary words cut up into small slips so that there is one word per slip of paper and have two copies so each team has their own complete list of words. (3 min.) 6. Briefly explain the rules: One student from each team will come up, choose a word from the pile and start to draw it. Each team will have one minute to draw the word and the first team to guess the word gets a point. If no one guesses the words go back into the piles and no one gets a point. The winners will get a “dulce” (piece of candy!) (30 min.)
