Español II 02-27-08

• Warm-up: Another “quiz” over stem-changer verbs, but this time it was just for practice. Students took this while I checked in their homework. Those who finished before I did used this “gift of time” to study stem-changing verbs and/or their vocabulary in preparation of tomorrow’s lesson test (72 points). Afterwards we went over the meanings and conjugations of this group of verbs.
• BIG review: correcting the two-sided white handout, Tarea de repaso. The translation exercise really put all aspects of the lesson together and was a challenging but valuable preparation for tomorrow’s test.
• Verb conjugations for stem-changers: We played verb BINGO – the game sheet students prepped last night as homework. I would give the English equivalent (eg She sleeps) and the students said the Spanish (ella duerme). If they had included that item they marked it off on their BINGO (Lotería) sheet. In period 2 we completed 6 rounds of verbs in all six conjugations before we had a winner; Period 4 it took 7 rounds. Good practice and fun, too! No tan mal, ¿no?
• We reviewed Affirmative and Negative words (adjectives and adverbs). We completed 1A-6 in the pink workbook packet, while reviewing their meanings and use.
