Spanish II 02-13-08

• Corrected our homework, as we reviewed for our Para Empezar unit exam.
• We completed the last listening comprehension activity in our workbooks (Actividad 3 – p.2), and then we tore out pages 1-6, stapled them together and turned them in.
• We took our unit exam, and as students finished, they selected one of my “libritos” or “revistas” to read while others finished.
• We watched a short video giving an overview of the Spanish-speaking world. Students took notes over what they found of interest. These were either turned-in at the end of class, or students had the option of turning them in tomorrow.
• Period 2 also got a brief report from their student council representative.

• Tarea:
1. Make your own Spanish – English vocabulary sheet for “A ver si recuerdas”, page 14. Be sure to include the category heading term (in red) along with the words underneath it. Don’t forget to use the dictionary in the back of your textbook and/or the on-line one on your handout of helpful websites for the meanings in English of the items you don’t remember from Spanish I. Note = “A ver si recuerdas” means “Let’s see if you remember”. Each of our lessons has a mini-lesson as a quick review before we move forward into the next unit.

Example of your vocabulary sheet:

Las clases = the classes

El arte = Art class

Las ciencias naturales = Natural Sciences

Las ciencias sociales = Social Sciences

2. Write in the verbs in the Gramática Repaso, page 15, in your pink verb chart = irregular verb section on the back. Remember to fill-in their meanings as well as their verb forms.

Verbs: Tener, hacer, poner, traer.
