Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

Describing People in Spanish

Description: 

This plan is meant for use in a middle or high school blended Spanish classroom. It combines both classroom and online learning in a way that will guide students through the process of being able to use complete sentences to describe people in Spanish. It begins with the learning of adjectives, then the verb ser (to be), then making adjectives agree within the context of a complete Spanish sentence.

Learning Targets: 
Students will be able to describe people using a list of adjectives.
Students will be able to conjugate the verb ser.
Students will be able to create sentences in which adjectives agree with the noun they are describing.

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

I have not used this plan in the classroom before. I think that the balance of online and in classroom activities will be beneficial to student learning. In the past, my students have needed this lesson to be a step-by-step process. I set this up so we are mastering adjectives first, then moving to the verb to be, then working on how adjectives must agree to make Spanish sentences.
