Lesson Plans

Teaching with Music

​Immersion through music
Music brings incredible life to the classroom and is a great way to start the day. By using songs in the first five minutes, students are energized and reset into to a full immersion experience. The procedure is simple, but the results can be impressive.

Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling

Putting into practice the TPRS philosophy 
In my classroom, full immersion in the Spanish language occurs through “CI”, or “Comprehensible Input”, and more specifically through a method called “TPRS”, which stands for Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. Click below to find out how to bring TPRS to your world language classroom.

Teaching with Technology

Bringing tech to the classroom
Using technology in the World Language classroom helps to bring the language into student's lives. In our fast-paced, globalized world, our future leaders must be proficient in technology, and the Language Classroom is a great place to start.

Using Spanish-Language films to encourage fluency
Using films can lead to great success for students in World Language Courses. If you're looking for opportunities to teach your students about social justice in Latin America in a comprehensible way, look no further.

Teaching Social Justice

Bringing social justice into the classroom
Teaching in Baltimore City requires a cultural and social awareness to the issues effecting the city's residents. Throughout my time in Baltimore , I have developed multiple lesson plans focused on advocacy (see The Advocacy Project) and broader issues in Social Justice in the United States and Latin American countries.
