Week 4: Assignment 4A

Differentiating Content, Delivery and Assessment

Spanish for 1G

Greeting and introductions

Here is the Common Core Standard:

World Language Content Standards for California Public Schools Kindergarten through Grade Twelve.

Stage I: 1.1 Students address discrete elements of daily life, including: a. Greetings and introductions.

To begin with, content is the “input” of teaching and learning.  It’s what we teach or what we want student to learn.  Differentiating content can be deliver in two ways.  First, we can adapt what we teach.  Second, we can adapt or modify how we give students access to what we want them to learn. 

In this lesson students will learn how to greet and do introductions in Spanish. 

                         

I will start by using cds of native speakers.  They will listen to these cds and they will learn how to greet and do the introductions.  Then, we will pronounce the words together. We will do role-plays to practice what we learned in class.

I will modify my lesson for the English learners because I give the instructions and I explain everything in English.  The modification I will use is videos.  They will be able to see how the people act according to the greetings. 

For the special needs students I will try to work with a buddy system because there is always students who get the concept easily and they can help these students.  Also, I will use the computers with earphones because there are so many websites that can help my students to get this concept. 

The assignment for this concept will be to practice with a role play.  However, I can do a written test asking them to match words from column A to column B which are the greetings in Spanish and in English.  Other way to assess this concept is playing a game with the greetings.
