Substitute Lesson Plan
Venezuela
Level 3
Description: Students will get to watch a 15 minute of Venezuela. The video is completely in Spanish. After the video students will do activities in workbook to compare their thoughts before and after the video about Venezuela.
Rationale: The purpose of this plan is to give students a more in depth view of Venezuela. This can easily fit into the unit whenever a substitute is needed. It is very easy to have students do the activity if the substitute does not know Spanish. The video is in Spanish, which is always great for students to hear authentic language use and will improve their listening skills in the language. This also gives students more of a real life view of Venezuela instead of just pictures in the book.
Objective: Students will learn more about Venezuela and be able to describe their thoughts and by giving their opinions on the country in by writing a journal entry in Spanish. The Substitute will collect the assignment when the class is over and when the teacher returns they will be able to see how the students interpreted the video and activities.
