Choice+Lesson+2-+¡Ay+me+lastimé!

Show students a video clip of different sports injuries. Have them describe their own “scar story” by writing a short paragraph in the preterit tense. Students will present their story to the class and also do the writing activity 33-34 on page 130. The purpose of this lesson plan is to use a visual to show students different sports injuries. The video will also stimulate the student’s minds to start thinking about their own personal story when they had some type of injury. This fits into the health/fitness aspect of the unit plan. It will be valuable to the students because they will be able to personalize the lesson. It will increase the student’s oral and written proficiency of the target language. After writing their own scar story the student will be able to present it aloud to the class. As the teacher you will be able to assess how in depth the student worked on the assignment, and also gage their oral and written level of the language. If the student is able to present their story in the target language using the preterit tense, you will be able to assess how well the student performed. ** 1.1 N.RW.k: ** Share opinions and preferences in the target language with their classmates in writing using email messages, notes, and letters. Injury Video: (Taken from: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Az748kJ2NMY) Textbook 1.  Show the students the video of different injuries. Ask students to fill in worksheet while watching the video. 2.  Talk about what the students saw in the video. 3.  Replay video so student can write down anything they may have missed. (10 minutes) 4.  Start a conversation telling about your “scar story” using the past tense. For example: When I was younger I broke both of my arms when I fell off of a swing. I had to go to the hospital in an ambulance. What has happened to you? 5.  After describing your own story, start a conversation with the students about what has happened to them. If students don’t have a real story they can make one up. (5 minutes) 6.  Explain to the students that they will be writing their own “scar story” using the preterit tense in Spanish. 7.  Give students time to work on their stories using the book and dictionary. Manage the classroom by walking around and helping students. (15 minutes) 8.  Have students read their stories aloud. Have students take notes on what happened to each person. Use worksheet. (20 minutes) 9.  If there is extra time, have the students’ complete activities 33 and 34 on page 130. If there is no extra time, assign it for homework or use it as a bell work activity for the following day.
