Spanish II 10-16-07

• ANNOUNCED CHAPTER 1B TEST FOR TUESDAY 10-23-07
  
• Turned in our Comparison packets and handouts 1B-6 for stamps and credit.
• We watched the Video Historia: 4 teenagers discussing their extracurricular activities (highlighting the vocabulary in context). See pages 48-49 in your textbook for the script and photos from the DVD.
• We worked on the vocabulary from page 68 with our seat partners, then watched the Video Historia again, this time without the vocabulary words highlighted.
• We watched the Gram Activa about making COMPARISONS of equality (saying that two people or things are the same as each other). And then corrected our homework, the first page of the Comparisons Packet.
• We continued on in the Comparisons Packet practicing comparisons of inequality (saying that someone is faster, shorter, older THAN someone else).
• We reviewed the forms and uses of SABER and CONOCER: we watched the Gram Activa & corrected the HANDOUT 1B-6
• We practiced asking and saying HOW LONG someone has been doing one of their extracurricular activities, using the formula “¿Cuánto tiempo hace que __(present tense verb)_? And “Hace (amount of time) que ___(present tense verb that answers the one in the question)__. SEE page 58.
• We started ACTIVITY 18, page 58 (and in period 2, HANDOUT 1B-7)
• Tarea:
1. Activity 18, page 58
2. Write 10 sentences building on the answers to the following questions:

¿Quién? ¿Qué actividad? ¿Dónde? ¿Cuándo?

Ex. Yo juego al tenis en la cancha de tenis los sábados.

Be sure to use 10 different subjects (5 singular/5 plural) and a variety of the vocabulary verbs and expressions. Make the sentences interesting!
