Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Conjugate the Spanish verb 'ir' (to go) in the present tense across all six personal pronouns.
Use the phrase 'Voy a...' to describe where you are going.
Recall and use Spanish vocabulary for 18 common places.
Answer the questions '¿Adónde vas?' and '¿Qué vas a hacer?' in complete Spanish sentences.
Combine the conjugated form of 'ir' with a verb infinitive to describe future plans (the Spanish simple future).
Teaching tips
Play the linked YouTube video before the written exercises, since the lesson is explicitly designed to pair video vocabulary review with the practice pages that follow.
Assign the partner speaking exercise ('Voy a...') as a verbal warm-up before the written weekend-plans task, so students practice the sentence structure aloud first.
Use the alebrije coloring page as a wind-down activity once the written practice is complete, and share the brief cultural note about alebrijes as Mexican folk art.
Skills covered
Verb conjugation -- students learn and apply all six present-tense forms of 'ir'.
Vocabulary recall -- students match and produce Spanish vocabulary for 18 common places.
Simple future construction -- students combine 'ir' + 'a' + an infinitive to describe planned actions.
Written and spoken production -- students write original sentences about their own plans and practice the same structures aloud with a partner.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does this lesson include any speaking practice, or is it all written work?
Both -- most of the lesson is written practice, but it also includes a partner speaking exercise where students take turns asking and answering where they are going and what they are going to do using the sentence starter 'Voy a...'.
Does this lesson stand alone, or does it build on earlier lessons?
It includes a review section that revisits Spanish verbs from previous lessons (like bailar, patinar, and estudiar) before introducing this lesson's new place vocabulary and verb conjugation, so some background from earlier lessons in the series is assumed.
