24
placido12/15/118:04 PM@cadamsf1 Of course!
25
NinaTanti112/15/118:05 PM@dr_dmd That's a whole project, in fact, but I thought it would give folks ideas.
26
suarez71200212/15/118:05 PM@placido clear objectives, how these are going to be assessed#langchat
27
spanishplans12/15/118:06 PMChecking into #langchat Best Professional Development this spanish teacher gets all week!
28
placido12/15/118:06 PMI don't generally write out a lesson plan, but I shared some activities that work well for me. #langchat
29
newtechnetwork12/15/118:06 PMWhat a great idea to share lessons for chatters! #alwaysgettingideas #langchat
30
NinaTanti112/15/118:06 PMCan we define "lesson plan"? #langchat
31
AudreyMisiano12/15/118:06 PM@placido Thanks...this'll be much nicer! :o) We are just doing ropa now and think I'll add your idea for sure! Thx!! #langchat
32
suarez71200212/15/118:06 PM@placido pacings of activities, stages 1) warm up 2)presentation 3) production 4) closure #langchat
33
dr_dmd12/15/118:06 PM#langchat I want to intersperse our conversation with some lesson design ideas. Keep posting about lessons and q's about them!
34
profeguerita12/15/118:07 PMIs it ok just to put resources/activities in - my lesson plans are paper - Hi #langchat from rainy NH
35
SraSpanglish12/15/118:07 PMI was thinking I'd add some powerpoints that could be considered whole lessons, if not plans... #langchat

38
placido12/15/118:07 PM@NinaTanti1 Good question! I usually have a unit plan and chip away at it day by day! #langchat
39
NinaTanti112/15/118:07 PMWhat exactly constitutes a "lesson plan?" The basic elements?
40
AudreyMisiano12/15/118:08 PMI added 1 lesson plan and shared about my favorite activity...I also want to share a video but I didn't write a lesson...can I? #langchat
41
placido12/15/118:08 PM@NinaTanti1 I tend to have some "weekly routine" stuff first depending on the day then the meat of the unit. #langchat
42
NinaTanti112/15/118:08 PMThere needs to be focus, aka, objectives! (I know this, cuz I was observed recently and found to be lacking in focused objectivs) #langchat
43
suarez71200212/15/118:08 PM@NinaTanti1 description of the course of instruction for one class #langchat
44
dr_dmd12/15/118:08 PM#langchat Lesson plan - good question! My ideas to follow now...
45
cadamsf112/15/118:09 PMwe have to use essential question, activities, resources, assessments
46
SraSpanglish12/15/118:09 PM@karacjacobs Does EVERY lesson have to have speak and listen? tall order... #langchat
47
karacjacobs12/15/118:09 PM@profeguerita #langchat - I'm in rainy NH too :) Wish it were snow!
48
dr_dmd12/15/118:09 PM#langchat Plan with the end in mind: what should kids show that they know and are able to do by the end of the unit of instruction?
49
karacjacobs12/15/118:09 PM#langchat @placido A great lesson plan should involve communicative activities - speak and listen. And a "hook" to get students interested.
50
SraSpanglish12/15/118:10 PMSo is a lesson everything related to 1 skill or 1 essential question? 1 day's activities? #langchat
51
placido12/15/118:10 PM@SraSpanglish Nope. Depends on function/mode you want to focus on that day! #langchat
52
katchiringa12/15/118:10 PMHi, Katherine Ruddick, Spanish teacher from CT here, sorry I'm late! #langchat
53
NinaTanti112/15/118:10 PMRT @dr_dmd: #langchat Plan with the end in mind: what should kids show that they know and are able to do by the end of the unit. #langchat
54
placido12/15/118:10 PMI usually have a "hook" like @karacjacobs said, then discussion, then practice. #langchat
55
dr_dmd12/15/118:10 PM#langchat The outcomes must be standards-based, and communicative in nature.
56
placido12/15/118:11 PM@katchiringa Welcome, Katharine! #langchat
57
placido12/15/118:11 PM@cadamsf1 Wow, restrictive! #langchat
58
karacjacobs12/15/118:12 PM@SraSpanglish #langchat (forgot the #) Yes, with 90 minute block scheduling stds speak and listen every lesson/class period.
59
cadamsf112/15/118:12 PM@placido I know... :( #langchat
60
placido12/15/118:12 PM@SraSpanglish I don't think necessarily...it is up to you. What do the kids need that day? #langchat
61
dr_dmd12/15/118:12 PM#langchat Student friendly rubrics – “I can” statements. What will constitute proficiency in all modalities: listen/speak/read/write
62
SraSpanglish12/15/118:12 PMIs a project description/outline/rubric a lesson? #langchat
63
NinaTanti112/15/118:12 PMBackwards design is so important! And functional objectives, not just "today we're learning regular verbs in 'er' " ! #langchat
64
SraSpanglish12/15/118:13 PMRT @placido: RT @dr_dmd: #langchat Not every lesson must have every modality, but every unit does - many lessons make one unit #langchat
65
SraSpanglish12/15/118:13 PM@karacjacobs I don't think I could manage a speak and listen in every 90 minute block #langchat
66

SraSpanglish12/15/118:14 PMRT @placido: What types of lessons have been your most successful? #langchat do we mean activity?
71
dr_dmd12/15/118:14 PM#langchat Please put whatever ideas you want to share into the folder - a lesson, a unit, a project, an activity - all are fine tonite!

77
profeguerita12/15/118:15 PMI'm always surprised by what works - like it was a story about a pregnant alien #langchat lots of convo elicited!

83

84
placido12/15/118:16 PM@profeguerita Sometimes spontaneous "teachable moments" are the very best! #langchat
85
dr_dmd12/15/118:16 PM#langchat Write the formative and summative assessments. These need to help students toward the outcomes in the rubric.
86
placido12/15/118:16 PMIf you are just joining us, lessons/activities we are sharing are at http://t.co/mnwcoPeF #langchat
87
dr_dmd12/15/118:17 PM#langchat Consider a project-based assessment which allows for differentiation and personal choices as well as demo of speaking and writing
88
SraSpanglish12/15/118:17 PMI've had success breaking down past (imperfect) vs present w/ a t-chart of La llaman America & her life before & after immigrating #langchat

93
placido12/15/118:18 PMI am a firm believer that you don't get good output without LOTS of comprehensible input. Thoughts? #langchat
