Textbook: ¡Ven Conmigo! Level 3

Time Period: 3 to 3 ½ weeks

Unit Theme: Routines and Daily Life

Essential Question: How does tradition and society affect daily life and schedules?"

Rationale: I chose this lesson because I feel that daily life and routines are a large part of the culture of a country. I think that by looking at the culture and traditions of the United States and other Spanish speaking countries, students can make important connections about why people do the things they do or why we live our lives a certain way. I think that the connection between home and abroad is important also because students may make connections with foreigners living in the United States or begin to think about what it would be like to travel or live in a Spanish Speaking country.

National Standards:
 * Communication
 * Standard 1.1- Through this unit, students will be able to express and exchange feelings, emotions, and opinions by examining their own routines and traditions.
 * Standard 1.3- Students will be expected to share with the class findings on an authentic and native hobby or pastime from a Spanish speaking country.
 * Culture
 * Standard 2.1- This unit will help students to understand the perspectives and practices of members of Spanish speaking countries, such as differences in schedules and times that people are out and active, when they eat meals, and when stores and businesses are open.
 * Standard 2.2- This unit will help students to understand the products and practices of members of Spanish speaking countries, such as the varying clothing that is accepted or used in a specific area.
 * Connections
 * Standard 3.1- This unit can incorporate other disciplines, such as Geography, History, and linguistics.
 * Comparisons
 * Standard 4.1- This unit would be an appropriate time to address the formal and informal form of the word “you” and other spoken grammatical concepts. This would allow students to make connections between the Spanish and English languages.
 * Standard 4.2- This unit is focused around comparisons of cultures studied, the United States and Spanish speaking countries. For example, students can look at the sleep patterns of Spain and the US, Spain having a daily siesta and staying up later, while the United States has a very busy day with an appropriate time to sleep before beginning the next day.
 * Communities
 * Standard 5.1- Students will be able to make connections about the members of their communities that participate in different daily schedules and habits.
 * Standard 5.2- Students will be able to consider their own experiences and lives if they were to travel or live abroad.
