Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 17/01/2026
Subject: Spanish
Lesson Topic: Measurements (e.g. size, shape)
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe size and shape of objects, places, and natural phenomena using appropriate Spanish vocabulary.
  • Use comparative and superlative structures to compare measurements accurately.
  • Convert between metric and imperial units and express the results in Spanish.
  • Write short descriptive paragraphs that integrate measurements and shape terminology.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector and screen
  • Printed vocabulary and unit‑conversion handouts
  • Measuring tapes or rulers
  • Worksheets with conversion problems
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Audio recordings of example descriptions (optional)
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick image of a familiar classroom floor plan and ask students to estimate its dimensions. Review previously learned adjectives for size and shape, then explain that today they will measure, convert, and describe objects in Spanish. Success will be demonstrated by accurately completing a written description and conversion worksheet.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5’) – Students write three Spanish adjectives for size/shape on sticky notes; teacher collects for a quick check.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Present key vocabulary and unit‑conversion table via projector; model how to state measurements.
  3. Guided practice (12’) – Whole class measures the classroom with tapes, records metres, and converts to centimetres together.
  4. Pair activity (10’) – Students describe the shape of three classroom objects and create comparative sentences.
  5. Independent worksheet (15’) – Conversion problems and a short paragraph describing a chosen object or area.
  6. Exit ticket (3’) – Write one sentence using a superlative to describe the classroom dimensions.
Conclusion:
Recap the main adjectives, comparatives, and conversion formulas used today. Students complete an exit ticket summarizing a superlative description, which serves as a retrieval check. For homework, assign a paragraph describing the size and shape of a place in their hometown, including at least two unit conversions.
