Spanish II 10-11-07

• Turned in our 14 vocabulary words from 1B, written out in 8 Spanish-English repeats (fan-fold style); AND our corrected ENCUESTA form re: where who goes when.
• Partner oral The Discovery Game re: places to go in town. We played two rounds, with different partners each time. This game is played in a similar fashion to Battleship; we ask our partner’s questions about where they go, looking for the five places they’ve written sentences about. We also incorporated the frequency expressions we’ve been practicing: Todos los día, A veces, De vez en cuando, (new) raras veces, no voy al/a la _______ nunca, no voy al/ al ______ jamás.
• Listening Comprehension activity: on the backside of the partner oral are 3 columns (8 names/ 8 drawings of places in town/ 8 modes of transportation). As I spoke sentences linking who goes where and how, students drew lines connecting the elements mentioned in each sentence. I asked that students write a number next to the name, to keep track of the order I said them.
• Movie! We watched “The Spanish-speaking World”, an overview of the many countries where Spanish is the main language. We completed a HANDOUT of study guide questions.
• Tarea/Homework:
1. Write out the 8 sentences from the listening comprehension sheet: example…José Antonio va a la bibioteca en bicicleta.
2. Write out a new set of 14 words (2 fans of 7 words each X 8 repeats) for the vocabulary 1B
