Lesson plan
Think, pair, and share- When and where do we encounter or have to fill out forms in our day to day lives?
Independently (1 minute): Have students brain storm a list of when they have to fill out forms.
Partners (1-2 minutes): compare and compile lists, see if you can add 3 more.
Share (5 min or less): Share their results and write responses on the board.
Questions: Why is it important to be able to fill out form in Spanish? What are some basic terms/ phrases common to most forms?

Hand out vocabulary sheets.

Formative assessment
Handout: “El formulario- blank”
Have students fill out the form with their own personal information
Collect this paper. Staple other papers together and put in to the classroom folders (pseudo portfolios)
Extension Idea: Have students create their own ID card in Spanish
We fill out forms often in our daily lives: Doctor’s visits, school enrollment, ID cards, to make online purchases, travel documents, job applications, etc. Even classroom worksheets have a mini form to fill out that asks for your name and date. Understanding the terms used and being able to write your basic biographical and contact information can be important. Let’s look at some vocabulary often used on forms.
