Español II 02-22-08

• Warm-up: Study quiz over the meanings of 14 stem-changing verb infinitives from page 27, and the study sheet. After we took the quiz, we corrected it in class and turned it in.
• I announced 2 study quizzes for the beginning of next week:
1. Monday = a selection of the items in vocabulary 1A. See page 40, your yellow vocabulary sheet, your pink Quia vocabulary handout and/or www.quia.com/jg/1160513.html
2. Tuesday = a selection of the verbs from our verb sheet: Be able to conjugate them from the infinitive with a given subject pronoun AND to be able to translate a conjugated verb in English to its Spanish equivalent. Examples: pensar (ella) = “piensa”; He sleeps = “él duerme”

• I also said that I’ve “penciled in” the Lesson 1A test for Wednesday, but I may decide to give it on Thursday.
• We practiced conjugating our verbs playing a very exciting round of verb battleship with our 3:00PM appointment partners, and then we reviewed as a whole class. We included all of the types of stem-changers: -ar, -er, -ir verbs with either e→ie or o/u→ue changes in the stem of the verb as well as other –ir verbs that change from e→i.
• Period 2 had a fire drill today! But we also had time to go over our lesson test from last week: Para Empezar.
• Period 2: We have to change our plans re: extra points for turning in your forecasting sheet early, per instructions from the administration. They want you to take the full amount of time to carefully consider your choices and be able to read the course descriptions in the Academic Planner. Please have your FORECASTING SHEET completed for next Friday (2/29/08 – Leap Day!). Double check you have: 8 credits (including the required courses), 5 Alternates – courses you truly will want to take and are NOT repeats of the courses you’ve already listed, and your parent’s signature on the sheet.
• Tarea:
1. 1A Pink packet (practice workbook) = Activities 1A-4 & 1A-5
2. WAVA workbook = Activity 10, page 12.
3. Be ready for our study quiz on the vocabulary.
