      Establish specific and measurable objectives for your lesson. These objectives should be reinforced by the different materials and activities you will use during your class. Write down those objectives as an introduction to your Spanish lesson plan. For example, your objective may be that your students will learn how to count from zero to 20 in Spanish, or that they will learn how to say the Spanish alphabet by the end of the lesson. Note that the Spanish alphabet has 30 letters with five vowels.

      Write down the list of materials you will need to teach your class. Make a note in the lesson plan to have a copy of any handout you may use for each student and have them ready before the class starts. Also, add a list of materials you require the students to have, including Spanish books, notebooks, pencils, flashcards, and Spanish-English dictionaries.

      Start the lesson with a basic activity or game to spark the students' interest. You can start a sentence and ask the students to complete it, or ask the students to guess what the teacher will eat for lunch in Spanish.

      Include the evaluation at the end of the lesson plan. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the students' speaking abilities and make sure you can determine whether or not your objectives were met. For example, if one of the objectives was for students to know how to count from zero to 20, then yhave each one count to 20 in Spanish using the right pronunciation.
