Chapter Enhancement ProjectTeresa McCann
For the chapter enhancement project, I have chosen to create activities using the textbook that I currently use in my classes. I also chose to create activities using the same chapter that I critiqued in the textbook review (chapter 1). I chose this chapter and textbook because I feel that I will get the most use and the students will benefit the most from this.
In the first three (3) activities that I have created, I focused on –AR verbs. The activities are a variety utilizing exercises, presentation and 1-on-1 work with the teacher. All activities are evaluated using the same rubric. This is to help the students see their progress over the course of the topic. The rubric evaluates the students based on emerging, developing and proficient. Students are not evaluated using points or grades. This will also help motivate the students to improve over the course of the topic. Also, the three activities associated with –AR verbs are created and are meant to be done in sequential order. Students are expected to start out by identifying verbs and progressing to speaking and describing pictures using –AR verbs and complete sentences.
In the next two (2) activities, I focused on the topic of articles and nouns. I chose this topic because, although it seems easy, many of my students do not have a strong knowledge of English which can impede their learning of Spanish; therefore, it is essential that I focus on the basics in order to help them improve their English while at the time learn Spanish. Again, the activities are to be done in sequential order. The students begin by learning what nouns and articles are. They are introduced to the importance of agreement in Spanish and finish the lesson by differentiating between definite and indefinite articles.
In the final three (3) activities, I chose to discuss the verb Estar, a few forms and when to use the verb. The students have already been exposed to the Ser and now the students are given the opportunity to learn more regarding this topic. I chose a variety of activities (group work, listening to songs and creating a video) to help the students learn the material as well as keep their attention and motivation high. The students only receive a numerical grade for the presentation because there are more components. With the other two activities, a similar rubric used in the previous activities is used. The students again are evaluated and given a score of emerging, developing or proficient. The purpose of using the same, if not similar, rubric is to provide consistency which will help the student determine his/her own strengths and weaknesses. The final activity is to create a video. The students enjoy using technology and I feel that this activity utilizes their knowledge of technology and gives them the opportunity to express themselves creatively. By doing so, I hope to keep motivation and learning high.

Instructions (for the professor):
Students should be placed into groups of 3-4 students. The groups should include students that are at a variety of levels. After the students have been placed into groups, give the students the list of verbs (given at the end of this lesson plan). Students should be asked to circle all of the –AR verbs. Give students approximately 5-10 minutes (or until 75% of the class has completed the task). Ask students to write how the –AR verbs were determined. Show the list of circled –AR verbs. Ask the groups to discuss how they decided which verbs were –AR verbs. After this activity, each group should receive 6 clip art pictures (given below). Students are asked to identify 2 –AR verbs from the previous list that can be associated with the picture. This should be discussed as a group but one student should be writing the verbs down. After approximately 15 minutes (or until 75% of the class has completed the task), students will present their list of verbs that they associated with the pictures. Students will then be evaluated on this activity. Students will be given a sheet (given below) and asked to do two similar activities alone to evaluate their knowledge of this material. Teachers will use the rubric above to give the student feedback regarding their answers.

Lesson Plan #4: Articles and Nouns in Spanish
Professor: Teresa McCann
Level: Level 1
Objectives:
1. Identify definite articles and nouns in Spanish2. Determine agreement of articles (masculine/feminine)
National Standards:
1. Standard 1.1 - Students engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions
2. Standard 1.2 - Students understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topics
3. Standard 4.1 - Students demonstrate understanding of the nature of language through comparisons of the language studied and their own
Materials:
1. Mosaicos Textbook2. Pen/Pencil3. List of a variety of nouns with articles (included below)
Evaluation:
1. Students will be grouped together to do the first set of activities. 2. After the students have demonstrated a basic knowledge of what are nouns and articles,
they will be asked to do a similar activity on their own.
Instructions (for the professor):
Students will be placed into groups of 3-4. For the first activity, students will be given a list of nouns and their respective articles in Spanish. For the first part of this activity, students will determine what a noun in English is (as it is the same in Spanish). After, students are asked to circle all of the nouns on the list. Students will then be asked what is remaining. They are to make an educated guess (based on reading the information before class). Now that students have identified nouns and their respected articles, they will be asked to come up with two general rules regarding which nouns have masculine articles and which nouns have feminine articles. The list will be set up so that only nouns ending in –o or –a will be included; however, singular and plural nouns and articles will be present as well. This will expose the students to the most basic nouns and their respecting articles. After the students have hypothesized the rules, they will discuss them as a class. The class will decide which rules are correct (clarified by the teacher). The students will then receive a worksheet asking the students to identify nouns and
articles and to choose the appropriate article. The teacher will show the students the answers (without giving a grade) and ask for questions and/or clarification.
Instructions (for the students):
Students will be placed into groups of 3-4 by the teacher. Students will be given a worksheet and asked to identify and discuss what a noun is (and how it is the same in Spanish). After students have identified nouns, they are to circle all of the nouns on the worksheet. Students are then given time to discuss what the other words (not circled) are. Following this, students are asked to theorize how students can determine whether a noun is masculine or feminine. Students will then discuss it as a class. To ensure understanding, students will be asked to do a similar activity alone after.
Activity Directions:
Please answer the following question. Once you have agreed on a definition, look at the list given and circle all of the nouns. There will be words not circled. What are they? Why are they different? Using the list, write two rules as to how students can identify if a noun is masculine or feminine.
What is a noun in Spanish (hint: it is the same in English)? _____________________________
Please circle the nouns in the list below:
La antropología el compañero
La historia la playa
El alumno el gimnasio
La casa el laboratorio
Please list the words that were circled: ______________________________________________
Please list the words that were not circled: ___________________________________________
What do we call the words that were not circled? _____________________________________
Some words have feminine articles (la) while others have masculine (el). Please write two rules that you can use to determine if a noun is masculine or feminine.
1. _______________________________________________________________________
2. _______________________________________________________________________
Activity Directions:
This activity will be done alone. This activity is to evaluate your knowledge of nouns and articles in Spanish. In the first part of this activity, please circle all of the nouns. In the second part of the activity, using the knowledge that you have acquired regarding nouns and articles, write the appropriate article (el, la) in the blank.
La geografía El bolígrafo
El cesto la silla
La plaza la sociología
La puerta el escritorio
Please write in the appropriate article (el, la).
_____ calculadora _____ pantalla
_____ cuaderno _____ tiza
_____ economía _____ gimnasio
_____ compañero _____ discoteca
Your teacher will discuss the answers with you at the end of the activity.

Identifies nouns and articles (with minor errors)
Identifies all nouns and articles correctly
Instructions (for the professor):
The teacher should place the students into groups of 3-4. The students will receive a worksheet with a list of nouns with definite and indefinite articles. Students will be asked to determine what the difference in meaning between the two is. Students will then write down their
hypothesis to discuss with the rest of the class. After the class has agreed on the difference, students will be asked to read sentences and write down a classroom object that a student may need. Students will have to determine whether an indefinite or definite article should be used. They will also have to discuss why. There is no follow-up activity with respect to this lesson plan.
Instructions (for the student):
Students will be placed into groups of 3-4. The teacher will pass out a worksheet with a variety of nouns (using definite and indefinite articles). The students will discuss the difference in meaning between the two. After, the students will discuss their findings with the class. Once the class has agreed on the difference, the students will then be asked to read a series of sentences and write what classroom object will be needed to accomplish the task. The students will have to determine if the noun should be accompanied by a definite or indefinite article. Finally, the students will need to determine why one is used over the other.
Activity Instructions:
Students will be placed into groups of 3-4. Please read through the list of objects below and determine the difference between each set of objects. Write down what the group believes is the difference between the two sets.

Students will receive a copy of the lyrics of the song with blanks (as to where the verb Estar is stated). Students will listen to the song as well as watch the video (two times total). During this time, students are asked to fill in the blank with the words that they here. They will hear the song twice. After the students have had the opportunity to fill in the blanks, the teacher will put them into groups of 3-4. Students will compare their answers. At that time, the teacher will show a copy of the lyrics with all of the words. Students can then check their answers. Once the answers have been confirmed, students will be asked to make an educated guess as to what the main chorus means, Estar contigo. After educated guesses are made, students will discuss it as a class. At this point, students will be asked to give a reason as to why Estar is used here (the
students were introduced to the verb Ser briefly in the preliminary chapter; therefore, they should be able to develop a reason). After 5-10 minutes of group discussion, the class will present their reasons. The teacher will guide the students to the reason of location should they stray off course or their reasons are not on target.
Instructions (for the student):
Students will receive a sheet with the lyrics of a song, Estar contigo. Students will listen to the song and fill in the blank with the word or words they here. After, students will be placed into groups and compare answers. At that time, the class will discuss as a group the answers and come to an agreement. Students will then (as a group) have the opportunity to make educated guesses as to what Estar contigo means and why the verb Estar was used. Following group discussion, each group will present their findings to the class. The class as a whole will determine a proper reason as to why this verb was used.
