Lesson Overview:

The class is comprised of students grade levels 9th through 12th. The majority of the class have English as the native language and language spoken at home. Some students speak some Spanish at home. This class is Spanish level one and the objectives relfect most students in our district have been exposed to the Spanish language from elementary grades through high school. The lesson is on telling and speaking about time. The lesson includes two key questions which have been discussed and translated during class time and they are: Que hora es? (what time is it) & A que hora es...? (At what time does a class take place). The student is also exposed to the Spanish-speaking culture via the expectation of responding at any moment what time it is in Spain factoring in the time difference. After much practice and a teacher speaking demonstration in class the student will visit the wikispace and record reponses to questions via the use of vocaroo. The speaking assessment has a rubric also found on the wikispace available to the student. The student will demonstrate proficiency in the speaking skill via the use of wikispaces and vocaroo for recording responses in the target language.
