Spanish IV 01-29-08

Spanish IV 01-29-08

¡Bienvenidos a nuestra clase!

  • I introduced myself via a Power Point Resume.
  • I distributed a Names list for students to select their names for class, and students completed a personal information sheet, “Datos personales”.
  • We went over the course procedures and grading expectations with another Power Point and with HANDOUT packets:

(1) "Bienvenidos a la clase de español!” with an attached letter to your parents, with information for them to complete.

(2) Participation grades, Make-up Oral & Participation Grades, Helpful Websites for Students.

  • We went to the Library and checked out our textbook: CONEXIONES - please have it covered by Friday.
  • Reviewed: (1) Positive personality traits;

(2) Favorite events & celebrations

(3) Places: inside & outdoors;

(4) Foods.

  • I introduced how to create a two-sided name card:

On one side write, Mi nombre es “ Your real-life” name.

On the other side write, Me llamo Your “ Spanish-class’ name.

In each corner of the second side (Spanish-class name) draw a symbol for a personal example of each of the 4 categories we reviewed (trait, event, place, food) to use in class tomorrow to describe you and your favorite things.

  • Tarea:
  1. Write a 5 question quiz, in Spanish, over the procedures and grading policies for this class. We’ll use this in class tomorrow where you’ll pose your questions to 3 other people and you’ll track how well they answered your questions.
  2. Complete your 2-sided name card for our conversation in-class tomorrow. See directions above.
  3. Have your parent(s) complete and sign the information letter with your syllabus.
