Spanish IV 10-10-07

• Reviewed the criteria for the orals, which lead to a discussion of “Modismos” – axioms/proverbs commonly used and other cultural fillers – a criterion on the orals sheet.
• Shared the updated situations: Job Interviews
• Reviewed where/what we’ve used that the students could draw upon for thematic vocabulary: Text pages 4 & 6, all of the articles we’ve read, and the vocabulary sheet from Realidades 3 – Unit 5.
• In groups of 3, we practiced the situations with everyone taking at least 2 turns as an Interviewer, and Interviewee, and the note taker-keeping track of the elements of the conversations of both speakers.
• Distributed a copy of the IB compositions scoring guide, for students to use in their editing circles in preparation of the final copy of their cover letter for a job application. I extended the deadline for this final until Monday.
• Tarea: Prep for your oral tomorrow – Worth 50 points.
