My target learners need to have preexisting abilities, prior knowledge, and prerequisite skills in order to benefit from this lesson. Specific to the content, the learners need to have some basic knowledge of the Spanish language. They should have some knowledge of a few Spanish phrases and a basic vocabulary that they would have learned while taking Spanish during their middle school career. The learners should also be able to recognize various cognates to the English language.
The learners should also have some preexisting abilities with solving equations and following formulas that they would have learned in various math and science classes during elementary and middle school. These skills will be helpful when learning to conjugate various present tense -ar, -er, and -ir verbs.
Lastly, the learners will need to have some basic technological skills and prior knowledge of how to use a computer. The students will need to be able to navigate through pages on the internet as well as enter and submit information into text boxes. Hopefully my learners will have already learned these skills prior to this lesson plan, but if not, I am prepared to spend a few minutes at the beginning of the lesson going over the basic functions of the website we will be using.
That's great
