Emotional Warmup Activity

Guided Meditation for Focus and Concentration

The warm-up activity we will use is Guided Meditation. This technique guides students through a process of relaxation and visualization that promotes focus, mindfulness, and concentration. During this meditation, students are instructed to close their eyes, take deep breaths, and follow a soothing narrative that helps them settle down and prepare for the lesson.

1. Invite students to sit comfortably in their chairs, with their feet on the floor and their hands resting in their laps.

2. Encourage them to close their eyes and start to breathe deeply, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, at a slow pace.

3. Instruct them to concentrate on their breathing, feeling the air enter and exit their lungs.

4. Begin the meditation narrative: 'Picture yourself in a serene setting, like a lakeshore or a meadow. Feel the gentle wind and listen to the harmonious sounds around you. Release all your worries and focus solely on this moment of tranquility.'

5. Continue the narrative for about 5 minutes, describing calming scenarios and encouraging students to maintain their focus on the imagery.

6. After the meditation, have students slowly open their eyes and do some gentle stretching to awaken their bodies.

7. Wrap up the activity by asking students how they feel and whether they're ready to dive into the lesson.

Content Contextualization

Understanding verbs in the imperfect future and perfect future tenses is essential for effective communication in Spanish. Imagine planning a trip to a Spanish-speaking country next year. To express your intentions and expectations, you'll need to use the imperfect future, like 'I will be heading to Spain next summer.' Conversely, when discussing your accomplishments by a certain time, you'll refer to the perfect future, such as 'I will have learned Spanish by the time of my trip.' These tenses not only improve clarity in communication but also help convey emotions and expectations effectively. Mastering these verb forms can also enrich social interactions, as it enables you to share your plans and dreams with others, cultivating more empathetic and impactful communication.

Planning the Future

In this activity, students will create a detailed plan outlining their goals and expectations for both the short and long term, utilizing the imperfect future and perfect future tenses. The aim is not only to practice these verb forms but also to encourage reflection on their own aspirations and the development of socioemotional skills.

1. Pair students up or place them in small groups.

2. Have each group discuss and compile a list of their goals and plans for the next 5 years (using the Imperfect Future).

3. Next, ask them to articulate what they will have accomplished during that time frame (using the Perfect Future).

6. During the presentations, jot down the different uses of the verb tenses on the board for future reference.

Discussion and Group Feedback

Following the presentations, facilitate a group discussion using the RULER method to offer socioemotional feedback. Begin by acknowledging the emotions expressed by students during their presentations, focusing on feelings of excitement, nervousness, or pride. Ask them how they felt while sharing their plans and goals, fostering an understanding of the reasons behind these emotions and their outcomes. Next, encourage students to name the emotions they experienced, helping to broaden their emotional vocabulary. Discuss how they expressed these feelings and if there were moments when regulating their emotions was challenging. Wrap up by exploring strategies for managing emotions in future scenarios, such as the guided meditation conducted at the beginning of the lesson.
