School+subjects

Here is the lesson that I created in order to teach the names for different school subjects.

I created 20 different schedules using the 4 core subjects and 5 different electives (French, PE, Computer science, Art and Geography). Then each of my students received a personal schedule (there were a few doubles because I have classes of 30) that had a picture representing the class and the "hour."

Materials:
 * Student schedules (I only have the 5 templates linked. In order to get the 20 different schedules, you need to go through and rotate at what hours the core classes are.)
 * Pictures of the classes to post around the room
 * Vocabulary list that is visible to all students.

Directions: 1. At the beginning of the activity, I say "Vayan a la primera hora." (Go to the first hour) The students then will go to the picture that corresponds to that in their 1st hour. With their "classmates," they have to figure out which Spanish word corresponds to their picture. 2. I continue this until all hours are completed. (My students are on a 5 hour day, so if you have a 6 hour day you could add another elective to the schedule and let the students get more practice in. 3. Once they are all done, I went through and read my schedule using the "sequencing" words that are listed at the bottom of the page and give them 10 minutes to work together to figure out what each of the words mean. 4. At the end, we went over the correct translations so that everyone was on the same page.
