Spanish II 01-17-08

• Reviewed 4B vocabulary, took some notes over uses, and practiced the pronunciation.
• We took the 4A “Recognition Test”, but just as a practice to see if we have internalized the meanings yet. And then we went over the answers when we were done, sharing what contextual cues helped give us the answer.
• We read the Fondo Cultural, page 218, about the Basque Country in Spain, and then watched the Video Historia, about a Spanish teenager getting ready to go to a Basque village to celebrate a local holiday. See pages 216-217.
• Working with a partner, we answered the comprehension questions in Act. 3, page 217, about the video.
• Period 2 watched the Gram Activa, about using the imperfecto for describing open-ended actions in the past.
• We practiced conjugating the regular –ar, -er/-ir forms of the imperfecto.
• Period 4 earned their 30 minutes of ¡JUEGOS! –¡Felicidades!
• Tarea:
1. Pink questions handout, “Entrevista acerca de la niñez”: answer the questions fully about what your life was like when you were little. We’ll use these for partner interviews tomorrow.
2. Bring BOTH of your partner conversation sheets: 4A-1 & 4A-2.
3. Period 4: Bring wrapped candies to use in one of our games tomorrow.
