The following section is designed to provide you with samples of standards-based lesson plans. The lessons are thematically based and focus on the four skill areas. Foreign language teachers developed them to use in their own classrooms as a part of a professional development workshop. Although the lessons were written with a specific level in mind, feel free to use the materials and activities at a different one. You can adapt the lessons in ways you see fit and adjust them to a more appropriate level for your classroom. As you go through the lessons, click on each red “S” to find out what standards are being applied. We hope that by doing so you can see Ohio’s Academic Content Standards in context.
