Spanish Inductive Grammar Lesson - Por vs Para

This inductive grammar lesson leads students to discover the rules behind using the words POR and PARA in a variety of situations in Spanish.

Students will follow a 4 step inductive process to make learning grammar more meaningful.

Step 1: Students will see examples of correct usage and create rules based on what they observe.

Step 2: Students will test those rules against additional examples of correct language usage.

Step 3: Students will make adjustments and additions to their rules based on more observations. They will summarize what they have discovered by creating their own graphic organizer using the included template.

Step 4: Students will apply the rules while producing their own language.

These scaffolded activities promote higher order thinking skills and represent the method of grammar instruction that is recommended by national organizations like ACTFL.
