Spanish I -er and –ir Verbs Unit
ER/IR Verbs Lesson Plan *Prior knowledge: Students should be familiar with the verbs “leer” and “escribir” before doing the inductive text. *This packet is intended to be printed off as overhead projector transparencies, or, used with an LCD projector or SMART Board. The activities can also be printed as worksheets. Quiz included. *This is a step-by-step guide to using the inductive teaching method for grammar, also known as PACE-Presentation. Attention. Co-Construct an explanation. Extension activity. *Please feel free to modify the activities and lesson to emphasize any vocabulary you are working on in your class!
Step 1: Inductive Text and Notes 1. Start with an “advance organizer” by asking students what types of things they normally read at home – books, magazines, Facebook updates, etc. Have them answer in Spanish if they know. 2. Introduce the “inductive text” by saying: “Today, we are going to see what Selena and Robert are talking about with their reading and writing habits. Please read along with the conversation on the screen while I read it aloud.” 3. Read the conversation in a normal speed in Spanish. 4. Ask students, “Ok, what is one thing you understood?” Take volunteers until all words that students should know are done. Someone will eventually say the verbs “read” and “write.” 5. Ask students, “Well, how did you know that meant ‘I read’‛ if we have never seen the word ‘leo’‛ before??” Have the student explain.
***This demonstrates to other students the critical thinking process of how to figure out unknown forms.*** 6. Then, ask students to help you figure out the rules for the verbs “leer” and “escribir” and write down what they come up with. (Example: Yo form = leo/escribo, so that must mean “I read/I write”.) 7. Finally, put up the notes and verb lists after students have figured out the forms from the inductive text.
Step 2: Receptive Activity 1. Receptive activities are easy and expose the students to the grammar used correctly. They are a crucial step in the language input process and help the lower-level students to understand the grammar forms. 2. The activity provided can be printed as a worksheet, or, better yet, put on the overhead projector or LCD projector for students to answer on their own paper. 3. Go over the answers as a class, asking students to read the entire answer and go over old vocabulary.
Step 3: Productive Mechanical Activities 1. Productive mechanical activities are also easy and require the student to use grammar used correctly, although not yet in complete sentences. 2. The activities provided can be printed as worksheets, or, put on the overhead projector or LCD projector for students to answer on their own paper. 3. Go over the answers as a class, asking students to read the entire answer and go over old vocabulary.
Step 4: Quiz! 1. A good homework assignment before this quiz is for students to make flash cards of the 20 new verbs. 2. The quiz requires students to CHOOSE the correct verb, and also CONJUGATE in the correct form. 3. Why do both? I tell students it would be silly to learn how to add if you only knew numbers one through five. So why learn to conjugate if you don’‛t know any verbs? Knowing the verb meaning is half the battle! 4. I grade the quiz out of 20 points. One point for the correct verb choice, one point for the correct conjugation.
ER/IR Inductive
Selena and Roberto have very different habits and likes. Read what each person does each week. Selena: Me gusta mucho leer. Yo leo libros todos los días. ¿Y tú? ¿Lees libros mucho? Roberto: No, no leo libros. Yo escribo blogs en el Internet. Selena: ¿Escribes blogs? Roberto: Sí, y mis amigos leen mis blogs y ellos escriben blogs también. Selena: Ahhh. Ustedes leen blogs y escriben blogs. ¿Pero por qué no leen Uds. libros? Roberto: No leemos libros porque son aburridos. Mis amigos y yo leemos y escribimos en el internet. Selena: Bueno – ¡leer en el internet es mejor que no leer nada!
