Spanish IV 05-15-07

  • Took our verb quiz – group 12 – then reviewed/corrected it.
  • “Samuel” gave his exposition projects over los Sanfermines – we learned lots about this festival that we always see on the news as the running of the bulls!

Due to some technical challenges – Roberto will start us off tomorrow.

  • Oral Interactivo – parte III: each team member had an opportunity to pose questions (ataques) and defend their selections, seating arrangement, etc.
  • Preliminary discussion about La Guerra sucia – Argentina. Defined some terms: la inteligencia, the power elite, fascism.
  • Tarea: Do more specific research tonight. Find out:
    1. What was going on in the political/social climate in Argentina prior to the military takeover to threaten the power elite?
    2. Why was the inteligencia considered a threat to the power elite, and how was the inteligencia threatened by the power elite?
    3. Who were “los desaparecidos” ?
