Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

  1. Review of previous content: The teacher starts the lesson by reviewing the basic concepts of the Spanish language, such as nouns and verbs, which are fundamental for understanding the topic of the lesson, adjectives. He may propose quick questions to the students, such as: 'What are nouns?' or 'How do we differentiate nouns from adjectives?' (3 - 5 minutes)

  2. Presentation of problem situations: Next, the teacher proposes two situations for the students to reflect on. The first situation could be: 'How would you describe a friendly person in Spanish?' and the second: 'How would you express the color of an object in Spanish?'. The teacher asks the students to think about their answers and share them with the class. These situations will serve as the basis for introducing the concept of adjectives. (3 - 5 minutes)

  3. Contextualization of the importance of the subject: The teacher then explains that adjectives are essential for communication in Spanish, as they allow descriptions of people, objects, places, among others to be made. He can give examples of how adjectives are used in everyday situations, such as describing a person, talking about the weather, or describing the appearance of an object. (2 - 3 minutes)

  4. Introduction of the topic: To capture the students' attention, the teacher can introduce the topic by sharing a curiosity about adjectives in Spanish. For example, he can talk about how some adjectives in Spanish change meaning depending on where they are placed in the sentence. Another curiosity could be about the richness of adjectives in the Spanish language, which allows for a wide variety of expressions and nuances of meaning. (2 - 3 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

  1. Activity 'Categorizing Adjectives' (10 - 15 minutes)

    • The teacher divides the class into groups of 3 to 4 students and distributes colored cards to each group. Each color represents a category of adjectives: physical appearance, personality, feelings, colors, etc.

    • Next, the teacher presents a list of words in Spanish. Students must identify if they are nouns or adjectives and, if they are adjectives, categorize them according to the color of the card representing the corresponding category.

    • The teacher circulates around the room, assisting the groups as needed and clarifying doubts. He can also propose extra challenges, such as creating sentences using adjectives from different categories.

    • At the end of the activity, each group presents their categories and justifies their choices. The teacher corrects and complements, reinforcing the correct use of adjectives and their importance in communication.

  2. Activity 'Drawn Adjectives' (10 - 15 minutes)

    • The teacher provides each group of students with a sheet of paper and colored pencils. He then reads a list of nouns in Spanish (such as 'flower', 'car', 'house', 'person', etc.) and the groups must choose a noun to draw.

    • Once the drawings are ready, the teacher reads a list of adjectives corresponding to the nouns (such as 'beautiful', 'fast', 'big', 'happy', etc.). The groups must then identify the adjective that corresponds to their drawing and write it below the drawing.

    • The teacher circulates around the room, observing the drawings and assisting the groups as needed. He can also propose extra challenges, such as using more than one adjective to describe the noun or using an adjective in a sentence.

    • At the end of the activity, the groups present their drawings and the corresponding adjective. The teacher corrects and complements, reinforcing the correct use of adjectives and their importance in communication.

  3. Activity 'Adjectives in Everyday Life' (5 - 10 minutes)

    • After the previous activities, the teacher proposes that students observe and write down all the adjectives in Spanish they encounter in different contexts during a day (such as in conversations, in texts, on signs, etc.).

    • The next day, students share their notes with the class and the teacher. The teacher can select some notes for discussion in class, highlighting the importance of adjectives in everyday communication.

    • The teacher concludes the activity by reinforcing the importance of constant practice for effective learning and invites students to continue observing and using adjectives in their daily activities.

Return (10 - 15 minutes)

  1. Group Discussion (5 - 7 minutes)

    • The teacher asks each group to share their conclusions or solutions found during the activities. Each group has up to 3 minutes to present their categories of adjectives and justify their choices, or show and describe their drawing.
    • During the presentations, the teacher encourages other groups to ask questions or make comments, promoting discussion and clarification of doubts.
    • The teacher takes advantage of these moments to make connections between practical activities and theory, reinforcing the concepts of adjectives, their function in the Spanish language, and their importance for communication.
  2. Learning Verification (3 - 5 minutes)

    • After all presentations, the teacher quickly reviews the main concepts, revisiting the definitions of adjectives, how to identify them, and use them correctly in sentences.
    • The teacher then asks students to reflect on what they learned in the lesson. He may ask questions like: 'What was the most important concept you learned today?' or 'What questions have not been answered yet?'.
    • Students have a minute to think and then share their answers. The teacher listens attentively to the responses, valuing all contributions and encouraging students to continue exploring and learning about the topic.
  3. Connection to Practice (2 - 3 minutes)

    • Finally, the teacher proposes a reflection on the practical application of the learned content. He may ask: 'How can you use what you learned today in real situations?'.
    • Students have a minute to think and then share their ideas. The teacher can give examples of how adjectives are used in different contexts, such as in conversations, reading texts, writing essays, among others.
    • The teacher concludes the lesson by reinforcing the importance of continuous learning and autonomous practice, and suggesting additional resources for study, such as websites with Spanish adjective exercises, language learning apps, and Spanish reading books.
