This will be done with in class discusions and also with worksheets. The second week will be mix of the vocabulary and grammar, this week I will also show some Telenovelas that are simialar to TV shows in the US. The Third week we will be focusing on grammar through a game show style (The love connection, with pick up lines). They will also be doing their own research in the lab about which tv show they will email about. ¨ ¨
 * Questions/Concerns: What would you like feedback on?** Does anyone have any other ideas to encorporate into my lessons?

You have some great ideas! I love the way you're contextualizing the unit. A couple suggestions: There are more specific standards (they're actually called benchmarks) that are part of the Michigan standards. You can look at another student's unit plan to see some examples. It's good to become familiar with those as well and use them to guide your curriculum. Since they're more specific, they are easier to implement and measure. Also, how exactly do you plan to teach the vocabulary during the first week? Is there a reason that you are separating vocabulary and grammar at the beginning and end of the unit instead of integrating it? Just wondering. . . user:Anny1
 * Feedback:**

The chapter of the book is separated like this so we go with that guidelines. We usually teach the vocab through a power point with pictures and then give them a study sheet. Then we do activities for them to practice their new vocab to get them use to saying and using the new words. user:gerouxje
