Instructional Strategies
1)Power Point on subjects in Spanish.
Teacher Task:
I will show a PPT on several school subjects. The subjects will be in Spanish and each slide has a graphic and/or sound associated with that subject. It is a good tool for visual learners.
Student Task:
Students will write down both the Spanish and English in their notebooks. Students will also repeat each word as I say them to practice the pronunciation.
2) Pass the Folder Activity:
Teacher Task:
There will be 6 different stations with different activities. I will divide the students into equal groups and monitor each group at each station.
Student Task:
Students will start at a particular station and complete that station's activity. After 5-10 minutes I will have each group rotate to the next station. Each group will complete each activity. (see next page for activities). Students will complete a Student Task Survey to keep the students accountable for staying on task at each station.

Homework
Write a paragraph about what you want to do for a career and list the subjects in which you think would help you in your career.
