questions. A question and answer section is open for students to clarify all doubts they
may have regarding the information gathering and the writing process of their three
 paragraphs. and then exposing their position about this topic.
● Mini-lesson: (10 minutes)
We need to keep on mind that students are going to write and present their answers and position
about the topic in the Spanish language, a very quick overview of the the subject matter needs to
be done, in order for them to get ready to write and orally express their answers and opinions in
Spanish. they will conduct the research and write their answers, individually
● Guided Practice: (10 minutes) Students will gather in small groups, they will practice their
answers and correct possible errors and grammatical and phonetic mistakes.
● Independent Practice: (20 min.) each will orally express in one minute a summary of their
answers.
● Exit Slip: (5 minutes)
Do you still think the same about illegal immigration, than before this class?

In addition to the Specific subject matter of the Spanish class, like present tense, past tense, sentence
structuring, and oral expression, in the multicultural aspect of the activity, it will focus on analytical and
critical thinking skills and Show the role of oppression and possible solutions for the problems.

and economic effects on our country, and find socially just solutions for this phenomenon.
3.- Evaluate the level of student engagement in the teaching-learning process.
The level of engagement in the teaching-learning process has to be high, because students will be
conducting research, they will be answering questions and formulating opinions, all that is going to be in
the Spanish language, adding extra levels of engagement.
4.- List the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan
Strengths: The activity has high levels of engagement, and demands lots of concentration, in the
translation process, since it is an advanced level it is also a very integral activity, because it will demand
from students all the knowledge acquired from previous courses up to the current, which is the
advanced. This activity will serve the assessment purpose for the current course and all the previous
ones. This activity will bring light to students about socioeconomic problems our society faces.
weakness: this activity can only be done by advanced students in the Spanish courses, any other
class will not have that limitation. students with low engagement levels won't get the most out
of this activity.
