Spanish II 01-08-08

• Warm-up: Students took a recognition “pretest” over vocabulary for 3B A ver si recuerdas and Lesson 3B. Students wrote in the English for the Spanish items listed. See GREEN packet handout: Realidades II-3B.
• We reviewed the answers of the vocabulary and took some notes over the extra items. See pages 154-155 & 180.
• We further reinforced the vocabulary in context by doing the listening comprehension exercises on pages 158 & 159.
• We reviewed the grammar items in the chapter – these are also highlighted on the green packet handout from today. Many of these structures are review for us:
1. The Progressives: regular and irregular forms
2. Direct Object Pronouns
3. Tú commands
• We spent time reviewing (for some and introducing for others) the REGULAR INFORMAL COMMANDS and comparing these to IRREGULAR INFORMAL COMMANDS. See today’s green handout AND page 168. We practiced BOTH Affirmative and Negative commands – which are two different verb forms in the informal (tú) forms.
• I introduced the homework and we did the first ones as examples.
• Tarea:
1. Complete the exercise on the 3^rd page of today’s green packet handout. Add in the meanings of the verbs and fill-in the forms missing for affirmative and negative tú commands.

Ex. Esperar To wait for, Espero Espera No esperes

wish for, hope for

2. Write out ACTIVIDAD 16, page 16. Be sure to:

a. Conjugate the verb in parenthesis in the affirmative tú command.

b. Write out the rest of that phrase

c. Match up the ending of the sentence that completes the first phrase

d. Translate the sentence to English.

Ex. 1. (poner) Pon el permiso de manejar…en la cartera antes de salir (c)

Put your driver’s license …in your wallet before leaving.

3. Practice for your ORAL on the preterite on Friday.
