• Verb quiz: grupo 4 and corrections/review.
• Partner discussions re: the facts about pollutions that the students found on their web search Tuesday night AND the article they read last night, page 68, about the program in Mexico City to address their air pollution.
• Reviewed the vocabulary on page 60 – practiced pronunciation of the difficult ones – of which there are quite a few!
• Discussed the difference in uses of the words for “quality” – Calidad is the end product; cualidades are the traits that come together to effect the end product.
