Spanish II 02-01-08

• Practiced our En enero hace frío poem: I announced that we will be learning this my heart (memorized) for Wednesday (02/06/08). We’ll be writing it out and performing in groups of 3 or 4 people. If you prefer, you may choose to memorize and perform the other poem, En enero nieva mucho.
• We reviewed briefly, and then took the Subject Pronouns Quiz. We corrected it in class while reviewing why the answers were what they were.
• Period 2: too few people covered their textbooks (:<), so we postponed their cover contest until Monday. In period 4 most people covered their books (:>), and we had a winner! ¡Felicidades, Cameron!
• We corrected our homework and then played our guessing game, using the sentences students wrote about one another using our vocabulary adjectives and the verb SER.
• We drilled the verb, SER, using my “pelota de nombres y pronombres”, playing PRACTICA VELOZ.
• Received a packet of Spanish-speaking countries and capitals and maps. We practiced the countries and capitals with the “Capitals Raps” songs. I announced a map test and a matching countries and capitals test for a week from today, Friday, February 08, 2008.
• Tarea:
1. Lapel the blank maps in your packet with their country’s name and capital city. Use the maps in the front of your book to place the capital city correctly in its country.
2. Memorize the Countries and Capitals starting with Mexico, and continuing through Central America for a quiz on Monday.
