These sample lesson plans have been designed for a quarter system course that has 10 teaching weeks each quarter and five contact hours per week, for a total of 50 contact hours per quarter. The lesson plans presented here are not prescriptive. You should feel free to present lesson materials as you see fit, tailoring them to your own teaching preferences and to your students' learning styles.

The sample plans for Lecciones 1-2 refer frequently to the annotations which appear in the side and bottom panels of the Instructor's Annotated Edition. When planning lessons, you may find it helpful to glance at this valuable instructional resource, which contains a wealth of ideas about how to preview and present vocabulary and grammar topics; present the video in class; modify and expand activities; and encourage learning through cooperative work, games, and specialized activities for heritage speakers.

NOTE: PANORAMA uses a flexible lesson organization designed to meet the needs of diverse teaching styles, institutions, and instructional goals. Below you will find some sample course plans that illustrate how PANORAMA can be used in a variety of academic situations. The Estructura section of the textbook is clear and comprehensive. Because many of our professors asked about additional materials to teach specific grammar points, Vistas Higher Learning created supplements in the same graphic-intensive format of the textbook that cover both the 'Future' and the 'Conditional'.
