• Introduced the new unit – 1A – Las narraciones.
• Practiced the vocabulary + the ¡Cuidado! Section – pp. 10-11.
• With our “Científico” partners, we read the descriptions about three types of narrations that have a long history in many cultures. Then the students answered the reading comprehension questions in Actividad 1-2, page 11.
• As a whole class we took turns reading page 9 aloud, and then we reviewed the details of the reading. Students need to know what characteristics are key to these types of narrations.
• Tarea:
1. Using the new vocabulary, write sentences in Spanish that incorporate at least 15 of the new “vocablos”. Underline and number the vocabulary items you’ve used, and then translate your sentences to English. Please remember: it is important to your language development that you write directly in Spanish first and then translate later.
2. Take notes over the 5 uses for the pretérito (pp.13-14) as well as the regular and many irregular conjugations (pp. 14-18).
