Spanish III 02-23-07

• We listened to the first 3 activities in the WAVA, pages 8 & 9, and reviewed them as a whole class.
• We read the Fondo Cultural about the Cataratas de Iguazu with our diseñador de ropa partner.
• We looked at some photos from the web about Iguazu Falls and I introduced the idea of doing a web search in Spanish for the national parks you’ll be researching for the unit’s project. I also talked about how we’ll be doing an annotated bibliography for the first component of the project.
• We corrected the verb grids we completed as homework – reviewing the spelling-changes in irregular preterite verbs (see pages 30 & 31).
• We listened to a song that incorporates these irregular verbs and did a couple of exercises with them: Filling in the tú forms in the questions and the yo forms in the answers.
• Tarea/homework:
1. Activity 14 – on page 30. You need to figure out what verb is needed to complete the idea, then conjugate it in the preterite form required. You many simple list the 10 verbs.
2. Write a short story about an imaginary (or real) camping trip the incorporates 10 verbs in the preterite and at least 10 of the vocabulary items from page 58.
