Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 17/01/2026
Subject: Spanish
Lesson Topic: Time expressions (e.g. telling the time, days, days of the week, months, seasons)
Learning Objective/s:
  • Ask and answer questions about the time in Spanish.
  • Use days of the week, months, and seasons correctly in sentences.
  • Combine time expressions with everyday activity verbs.
  • Apply appropriate clock‑time structures (e.g., “y cuarto”, “menos …”) in oral and written tasks.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Printed vocabulary handouts (days, months, seasons)
  • Clock face visual or digital clock app
  • Worksheet with matching, fill‑in‑the‑blank, and translation exercises
  • Audio recordings of dialogues (optional)
  • Markers and whiteboard
Introduction:

Begin with a quick “What time is it?” game to spark interest. Review students’ prior knowledge of basic clock vocabulary in English, then explain that today they will express time in Spanish. State that success will be measured by their ability to ask, answer, and incorporate time expressions into routine‑activity sentences.

Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5'): Students write the current time in Spanish on mini‑whiteboards; teacher checks a few responses.
  2. Vocabulary review (10'): Matching game for days of the week, months, and seasons using the handouts.
  3. Teaching telling the time (15'): Demonstrate clock structures (“es la una”, “son las …”, “y cuarto”, “menos …”), model sentences, and choral repetition.
  4. Guided practice (10'): Fill‑in‑the‑blank worksheet on time expressions; teacher provides immediate feedback.
  5. Pair role‑play (10'): Students practice dialogues asking and answering the time and scheduling daily activities.
  6. Consolidation game (5'): “Time Bingo” where students mark sentences that match given time expressions.
  7. Exit ticket (5'): Write one original sentence describing a personal activity using a time expression.
Conclusion:

Recap the key structures for telling the time and linking activities with “a las …”. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding, and remind students that the homework is to write a short paragraph describing a typical day using at least five different time expressions.
