- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Each group should choose a context from everyday life where numbers in Spanish are used (e.g., shopping, dates, times).

• Using their phones, the students should create a script for the video, incorporating ordinal, cardinal, and decimal numbers.

• Record and edit the video using simple editing apps (such as InShot, CapCut, etc.).

• Post the video on a common digital platform (such as Google Classroom or YouTube) and share the link with the class.

• Each group must watch the videos of the other groups and comment on the correct or incorrect use of numbers.

Activity 2 - Interactive Quiz Challenge 🎮

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Review and reinforce knowledge about numbers in Spanish dynamically and fun, promoting healthy competition and interaction among students.

- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of up to 5 people.

• Using an interactive quiz platform (such as Kahoot! or Quizizz), create a quiz with questions about ordinal, cardinal, and decimal numbers in Spanish.

• Each group should access the quiz using their phones or computers.

• Students answer the questions in real-time, competing against each other to see who answers correctly and faster.

• At the end of the quiz, the teacher should discuss the questions and answers with the class, reinforcing important points and correcting possible errors.

• Create a series of enigmas and challenges related to numbers in Spanish. Each challenge should involve the use of ordinal, cardinal, and decimal numbers.

• Spread QR codes containing the clues around the classroom or in different locations in the school. Each QR code leads to the next challenge.

• Students should scan the QR codes using their phones and solve each riddle to advance to the next stage.

• The first group to solve all the riddles wins the treasure hunt.

• At the end, review each of the enigmas and challenges, discussing the solutions with the class.

Feedback

Duration: 20 - 25 minutes

The purpose of this stage of the lesson plan is to promote reflection and consolidation of learning through the exchange of experiences and constructive feedback. By sharing what they learned and receiving feedback from peers, students have the opportunity to reinforce their knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and develop communication and collaboration skills.

Group Discussion

Promote a group discussion with all the students, where the groups share what they learned by carrying out the proposed activities and their conclusions. Here is a suggested script to introduce this discussion:

1. Introduction: Thank the students for their participation and effort in the activities. Explain the importance of sharing experiences and learnings.
2. Experience Sharing: Ask each group to briefly present their videos or results from the treasure hunt and interactive quiz activities.
3. Open Discussion: Open the floor for other students to ask questions and comment on their classmates' presentations.
4. Conclusion: Conclude the discussion by highlighting common points and differences in the experiences of the groups and reinforcing the concepts learned during the lesson.

Reflections

1. What did you learn about using numbers in Spanish in everyday situations? 2. What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them during the activities? 3. How did technology facilitate your learning and collaboration with your group?

360° Feedback

Instruct the students to conduct a 360° feedback stage where each student should receive feedback from their peers in the group they worked with in the activity. Guide the class to use the constructive feedback formula: Praise - Opportunity for Improvement - Suggestion. For example:

1. Praise: Something positive that the peer did during the activity (e.g., 'I liked your organization in creating the video script').
2. Opportunity for Improvement: An area where the peer can improve (e.g., 'I think you could improve a bit on the pronunciation of certain numbers').
3. Suggestion: A practical recommendation for improvement (e.g., 'Maybe practicing more with language learning apps would help with pronunciation').

Conclusion

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to consolidate and reflect on the learning acquired during the class. By summarizing the content and connecting it to the current world, students can see the practical relevance of what they have learned. This conclusion moment also serves to reinforce motivation and enthusiasm for continued learning, highlighting the positive impact and applicability of numbers in Spanish in their daily lives.
