  • Warm-up: Verb review of –ar verbs in sentences using the vocabulary and structures from our lesson.
  • Review of –ar, -er, -ir verbs: Students wrote out sentences using the –er & -ir verbs from the lesson with vocabulary items (like those in the –ar review).
  • I had students write out a study guide for the unit exam tomorrow:
    1. Know your subject pronouns for verbs.
    2. Know the verb SER (p. 5) – Be able to conjugate it for any subject.
    3. Know how to use ser with the descriptive adjectives (p.3) + 1st vocabulary sheet (53 adjectives: personality, looks and colors)
    4. Be able to make your adjectives agree with the noun being described = it matches the gender (masculine/feminine) AND number (singular/plural) of the noun.
    5. Know the nationality adjectives (p.6) – and be able to use them like the other adjectives.
    6. Know when to use ser versus ser + de + país (country/nation)
    7. Know ALL of your regular verbs on your PINK VERB CHART = meanings and conjugations (forms). – see page 9 – Chart & ¿Recuerdas?
    8. Know your question words – INTERROGATIVES - see page 10. Know their meanings and when to use which ones.

· We reviewed our homework in the WAVA workbook from last night and then completed the LISTENING COMPREHENSION activities 1 & 2 – page. 1

· We reviewed study techniques – referring to the HOW TO STUDY handout your parents signed last week. Do some of #’s 1-4 EVERY DAY : #1=Drill new vocab. & verbs, #2 = use flashcards to review previously learned vocab & verbs, #3 = go over your notes from class and homework corrections, #4 = redo exercises you didn’t do well on the first time to reinforce your new understanding of how to do it correctly.

1. Complete the crossword to practice the vocabulary and verbs.
