Spanish II 12-19-07

• Got a STUDY GUIDE for tomorrow’s test: CONJUGATIONS in the PRETERITE (see blog for this as a separate entry)
• Warm-up: We played Lotería #12 = Regular Preterite Verbs.
• Partner Barco de Guerra = Irregular Preterite verbs

Practiced conjugating: Ir, Estar, Tener, Poder, Hacer, Ver, Dar, Buscar

• Corrections:
1. Las tareas de anoche -last night’s homework

a. 3A-7 = Irregulars: Estar, Tener, Poder, Hacer in the Preterite

b. Direct Object Packet: When is You the subject and when is it the Object? Which pronoun do you use were?

2. #’s 6a-10b = Exercise D, Irregular Preterite packet (translations)
• HANDOUT: LA NOVIA PRESUMIDA – “rap-style” song incorporating the irregulars in the preterite: Venir, Estar, Ir, Tener, Saber, Querer, Poder, Hacer, Traer, Poner, Decir. We analyzed the lyrics for the verbs used and their forms. Then we listened to the song.
• I gave examples of what the test tomorrow will be like. I will give an infinitive in Spanish and some subject pronouns to use with it. The students will give the meaning of the infinitive and conjugate it in the preterite for the pronouns provided.
• Tarea:
1. Pink HANDOUT: Práctica de los verbos. Match the meanings on the top part of the page, then on ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER, translate the sentences – don’t forget the ones on the back!
2. STUDY for the PRETERITE test.
