 **Title of Unit: La familia **    **Author: ****Mr. Matthew Yock**   **Grade Level: 8-10 ** **Scope & Sequence** [|SecondaryScope.doc]  **Introduction**: Family is an important part in every students life be it their immediate family or other forms of family such as family friends, school friends, etc… Within this unit students can relate their prior knowledge and understanding of “what makes a family a family?” and how it relates to their native culture and the target culture of Spanish. They will be able to compare and contrast the two cultures while building on their knowledge of the Spanish language. In having class discussion about students understanding of family, the class can be adjusted to include what students find to be interesting and important to them while including the curriculum standards that must be addressed by the state.
 * Primary Subject: Spanish 1 **

All students have a concept of what makes a family and can compare their own to that of the target language. Family is the hook to get students to reveal other interests that are drawn from the concept of family and friends. Multiple topics can relate to the idea of family and the daily routine a family goes through. In addition the topics of divorce and the addition of step parents and siblings are only a few examples of real life situations that students can relate to, share their opinions about, and which involve the concept of family.

media type="custom" key="3444108" This 30 second short media clip will be used at the begining of this lesson to engage students in the essential question. The text in the video is in Spanish so it will also be a tool to assess students prior knowledge about the target language. Some students may know the limited vocabulary and some may not. However, the vocabulary knowledge is not important yet, because the purpose of the 30 second video is to grab their attention. The units essential question is what makes a family? In groups of no more then five students will make a brainstorming web about the essential question (10-15 minutes). Each group will share their thoughts while I write a class web on the board (10 minutes). Students will take a short diagnostic pre-assessment to measure their prior knowledge of this unit (10-15 minutes). The remainder of the class will be a class discussion about how students family are similar and different (10-15 minutes). I will inform students of tomorrows family timeline project and what they can do to make it more personal and creative. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Students will have the option to take digital pictures and bring these photos as hard copies, memory stick or email them to me or themselves. In addition students will need to gather information about their imediate family; birth dates, maiden names, wedding dates, and other important event dates that they would like to put into their timeline. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Students will need paper and pencil. The teacher will need a black/white board and appropriate writing tool. Note: not all students will have access to the technologies for their homework.

The use of this web 2.0 tool will give students a different way to make a family tree or history. It allows them to use technology which can be more stimulating then poster board and paper while still incorporating the new vocabulary of the family unit.
