Personal Narrative: Lesson Plan

Improved Essays
In my seventh grade Spanish 2 lesson plan for FLED 4410 I tried to apply a lot of what I have learned about FLA into my lesson plan. This lesson plan I made specifically honed in on multiple intelligences,communication, and differentiation.

This will create a passageway to Metalinguistic function, as they reflect on the language they learn. The students create output during many activities throughout the lesson where I elicit a response from the students during these communicative language learning activities. These activities, as the majority of the activities in the lesson plan, are definitely production-based activities. The lesson plan is about 30% student interaction, 30% input, and 40% output based. While the beginning of the lesson plan is more teacher-centered and comprehension based with the presentation of vocab ,eventually building up or scaffolding the students into the the production-based activities. These production based activities will help them grow and think critically about the language as I guide them on their way to language …show more content…
The lesson also makes connections with topics in math, while also tying in culture as they learn about new foods and utilizing comparisons with the venn diagram activity to observe similarities and differences of cultures. The lesson plan needs to be extended further to include the community aspect of the 5 C’s.
I did not include how I would provide corrective feedback to my students. Based on the research of the most effective type of feedback I would use the prompt technique in order to correct my students. Using this technique the students would realize that they need to correct what they have just said. However, with using the communicative approach my main focus is that the students gain the skill of communication, if what is said is comprehensible there will not be as strong of emphasis on how it was

    These five domains consist of physical, cognitive, language, emotional, and social learning. My lesson plans start with objectives in mind when meeting all these developmental domains. My goal is to create activities that encourage a child to identify what the lesson involves, discuss openly the child’s perspective, deduce the content of the lesson, and apply the knowledge learned. I also believe that all children need the opportunity to make their own choices, even the choice to participate in learning. With this in mind, planning activities to keep the children engaged is of great importance to me.…

Before the summer camp started, I was planning a curriculum for each grade level and I used some of the materials that I put together in my Intro to curriculum design class.

Moreover, designing a curriculum in the class last semester was a first experience so that I tried my best to complete it and that is why the final piece meant something special. When I finished designing a curriculum for my summer camp students, with the other teachers and manager, we looked at each other’s curriculum.…
