Spanish IV 09-13-07

• Handout: ¿A quién conoces? – Partner oral, kind of like Battleship. For each of TWO GAMES, You select 5 of the occupations listed and write a sentence for each about someone you know in that occupation. Then, playing with your partner you try to discover which occupation s/he has written about by asking her/him questions. We spent quite a bit of time understanding the concept and writing out our 10 SENTENCES (5 for each game), so we only played one game.
• I checked off the tarea, while the oral was going on. (Personal vocab. list of profesiones)
• I read the article on page 3 aloud as the students read along. We discussed the meanings of a few of the words: destrezas = skills, preven=foresee, condado=county, as well as the concepts of the advantages/need to be able to use Spanish in the workforce.
• Working with a different partner, we did Activity 2, page 4 – Discussing our futures and incorporating Spanish. If you were absent, write out your own answers. We worked a little bit with the FUTURE TENSE: tendré = future of tengo, tendrás = future of tienes, viviré = future of vivo, vivirás = future of vives.
• Distributed this quarter’s HALL PASSES. If you were absent be sure to get yours from me.
• Tarea:
1. Workbook packet: Complete Parte Dos: Los números. Study the information pages, and complete exercises on pp.6, 7, and 8.
2. Textbook: page 4, ACTIVITY 1. This is set up as a conversation, but you WRITE A PARAGRAPH, about your future and incorporating Spanish into your professional life. Focus on ONE Area de concentración and TWO professions this major would prepare you for.
3. Be sure to have your text covered by tomorrow.
4. If you didn’t finish in class, have your Juego Dos completed from ¿A quién conoces?
