• Greetings and Introductions: Essential phrases for saying hello, goodbye, and asking how someone is doing.

• Numbers, Dates, and Time: Counting, saying the days of the week, and telling time.

2. Nouns and Basic Modifiers

• Gender and Nouns: Understanding that nouns are either masculine or feminine (e.g., el libro, la mesa).

• Articles: Definite (el, la, los, las) and indefinite (un, una, unos, unas) articles.

• Adjective Agreement: Matching adjectives to nouns in both gender and number (e.g., las chicas altas).

3. Basic Verbs and Conjugations

• Subject Pronouns: Words like yo (I), tú (you), él (he), nosotros (we).

• Present Tense Regular Verbs: Conjugating verbs ending in -ar, -er, and -ir.

• Common Irregular Verbs: Learning essential verbs that do not follow standard conjugation rules (e.g., ir - to go, tener - to have).

4. Sentence Structures and Descriptive Grammar

• Ser vs. Estar: Knowing when to use the two "to be" verbs (used for permanent traits vs. temporary states or locations).

• The Verb Gustar: How to express "I like" (me gusta) and other indirect object constructions.

Objectives

● By the end of this lesson, the students will have reviewed and used, written and orally, the subject

pronouns in singular and plural and how to conjugate them with regular verbs and ser and estar.

Activity Summary

• Through an illustrated presentation, the students will learn the subject pronouns. Then, they will play two

games to review and remember them. Finally, they will practice them orally by creating a series of sentences.

Warm-up

• Before starting this lesson, use the Activator - Pronombres Personales as a warm-up activity.

Activity 1 - Introduction – Subject pronouns presentation

a. The teacher hands out Handout 1 for the students to take notes. Then, he/she will project and

discuss the presentation Subject Pronouns in Spanish so the students familiarize themselves with

all the subject pronouns. Through the presentation, the students will be completing the subject

pronouns table on the Handout 1 part 1.

b. After the presentation, the students (individually or in pairs) will answer the questions on the

Handout 1 part 2. Students are meant to deduce the answers by themselves, as they are very easy

once they have reviewed the presentation. Then, answers are compared with the rest of the class.
