Learning Objectives
As a result of engaging with the lesson, students will:
- Understand that there are differences between how we conjugate regular and irregular verbs in
the present tense.
Part one:
In part one, students had the task of translating verbs and vocabulary surrounding leisure activities.
Students had the option of using one of the words in a sentence.
Part two:
In part two, students were asked the question ‘what are the three types of regular verbs?’ and were
given three sentences in Spanish with an infinitive verb which they needed to conjugate according to
the pronoun.
Part three:
Part three of the preassessment asked students to provide a definition of what they believe an irregular
verb might be.
Groups were formed from the preassessment task according to student readiness as outlined below:
