Spanish II 10-04-07

Spanish II 10-04-07

  • Warm-up: 12 translation sentences based on the Yo-go verbs, Tener + que+ infinitives and the vocabulary from 1A lesson. Students wrote the Spanish for the English while I corrected and credited them for their homework.
  • I reminded students to take care with their accuracy while doing homework: remember what the purpose of the exercise is and how it connects to the lesson.
  • Period 2: reviewed corrections from last night’s homework. Also, period 2 had the bus evacuation drill today.
  • Period 4: Since expressing concerns over spelling yesterday, we reviewed the basics. (1) How to sound out the words based on the vowel sounds. (2) What each of the vowel sounds are and what your mouth does to pronounce them well – I also taught hand gestures to help them remember this. (3) Students copied a basic phonemes chart with the spelling for the 4 spelling changers for hard/soft K/sS AND G/H sounds.
