Welcome to the Spanish class! To teach Spanish in a one-hour class, I usually follow the following guidelines:

1. Plan the class: Before starting the class, I prepare a plan of what I am going to teach and how I am going to teach it. I make sure I have materials and activities appropriate to the level of the students.

2. Start with a warm-up activity: I start the class with an activity to motivate the students and prepare them for the content of the class. This can be a conversation in Spanish or a vocabulary activity.

3. Presenting the new content: I present the new content using a combination of explanation, demonstration and guided practice. I make sure to use examples that are relevant and understandable to the students.

4. Provide opportunities for independent practice: Students need time to practice what they have learned. Therefore, I provide activities and exercises for students to practise independently. I am also available to help them and answer their questions.

5. End with a closing activity: I end the lesson with a closing activity to review what has been learned. It can be a summary of key points, a review activity or a task for the next class.

In summary, to teach Spanish in a one-hour lesson, I plan the lesson, start with a warm-up activity, introduce new content, provide opportunities for independent practice and end with a closing activity. I hope you enjoyed the lesson and learned something new!
