Spanish IV 09-14-07

• Turned in your paragraph from homework.
• Warm-up: Juego Dos from ¿A quiénes conoces? (practicing professions)
• Awarded prizes for book covers, ¡Felicidades Cristina y Carmen!

• To honor Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations this weekend, we heard a little history about their declaring independence from Spain. We then watched a video with a former president saying the battle cry for independence in the town in which it took place. We also watched selected songs from the Linda Ronstadt concert, Canciones de mi padre, featuring traditional Mexican songs, dance and music. I also brought in some salsa, guacamole and chips to share with the class.
• I stamped and checked off the workbooks, and we reviewed/corrected the exercises over number usage.
• ¿Hay tarea? ¡No! Really enjoy this weekend free of Spanish IV homework, there probably won’t be too many.
