 Introduction:

Begin by asking students what they did last weekend to activate prior knowledge of leisure‑time language. Show a quick image of friends at a park and invite a few responses in Spanish. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to describe their favourite activities, express preferences, and plan future outings.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5'): Matching activity – students pair Spanish leisure words with English meanings.
  2. Grammar review (10'): Board examples of gustar structures and present/future conjugations of regular -ar verbs.
  3. Guided practice (15'): Complete the conjugation table for nadar, cantar and viajar (present & future).
  4. Pair role‑play (15'): One student asks about weekend plans, the other responds using preference expressions and future tense.
  5. Writing task (10'): Write an 80‑100‑word paragraph describing an ideal free‑time day, using at least five preference expressions and two future verbs.
  6. Quick self‑check (5'): Oral quiz – students answer three rapid‑fire questions from the “Evaluación rápida” list.
Conclusion:

Recap the key structures covered and ask a few volunteers to share one sentence from their paragraph using the future tense. For the exit ticket, each student writes a single sentence about a weekend plan employing a preference expression. Homework: complete an additional worksheet conjugating three new regular verbs and add five new leisure‑time vocab items.
