Español IV 02-27-08

• Warm-up: practicing the new vocabulary section “Ampliación” by completing exercise 1-4, page 12.
• Practiced the new vocabulary, page 10, using the Quia exercises I created for you. I also distributed a vocabulary list with this address in the upper right-hand corner. It is http://www.quia.com/jg/949784.html
• We reviewed our homework notes over the preterit by viewing a power point and comparing that information with our notes. See pages 13-18 in the textbook.
• I distributed verb grids and we identified the verbs we will conjugate into the preterit on it. The infinitives are: TOMAR, TOCAR, ENTENDER, MENTIR, SER, IR, HACER, DAR, CAERSE, RASCAR, DESCOLGAR, CRUZAR, AMARRAR, LLEGAR A, REÍRSE.
• We spent so much time writing on the Smart Board & with the Quia games, that we didn’t have time to go over the sentences we wrote for today. We’ll come back to those tomorrow.
• Tarea:
1. Text page 17: Activity 1-12. Using at least 10 of the verbs in the box in the preterit, write up the main events of the plot of a book or a movie you’ve recently read/seen WITHOUT mentioning its name. We’ll use this for a guessing game in class tomorrow.
2. Complete the conjugations in the preterit of the verbs on the verb grid we began today in class.
