Spanish III 02-12-07

• Got new vocabulary handout from “A ver si recuerdas” Capítulo 1, page 16. Review of places one might visit on vacations, activities to do in these places, and animals you would see there.
• We folded back the Spanish columns and used this as a “pretest” to see what we remembered. (the name of this section☻ ‘A ver si recuerdas’).
• We expanded the vocabulary, in period 2 adding in “arroyo” for creek, “ciervo / venado” for deer and “bichos” for bugs.
• Wrote our Activity 1 – part one, but we included 3 places instead of 2.
• Using what we wrote, we exchanged information about where we would like to go, what we would like to do there and what animals or insects we might see.
• We reviewed the basics of the preterite tense, see page 17.
• We wrote the verbs from the book on a new verb grid: caminar, comer, vivir, hacer, dar, ver.
• We talked about spelling changes in “Hacer – hizo” and also in the “yo” form of

-ar verbs ending with –car, -gar, -zar.

• We added the verbs: tocar, llegar and comenzar to our preterite verb grids.
  

Tarea:

1. Study for geography test tomorrow: Be able to identify the countries from a map, and also identity each country’s capital.
2. Make a study system (flash cards, or fan-folds of paper alternating the English with the Spanish in each column)
