Spanish II 03-03-08

Español II 03-03-08

  • Warm-up: Activity 3, page 43. Review of the use of Ir + a + infinitive and answering questions.
  • Reviewed answers to our survey from Friday (homework): Be sure your form of IR (to go) matches the people who are doing the action AND your information matches the type requested in each question.
  • I previewed the new lesson and its objectives: Talking about extracurricular activities, making comparisons, expressing knowing information and knowing how to do things versus knowing people/places.
  • Introduced the new 1B vocabulary: HANDOUT http://www.quia.com/jg/619368list.html
  • We went over pronunciation, spelling and meaning tips.
  • Used the vocabulary in context by, listening and reading pages 46 & 47 as well as doing the comprehension Activities 1 & 2, page 47.
  • More vocabulary practice = clip art & document camera – identifying vocabulary items by the drawing.
  • Even MORE vocabulary practice: Act. 4, page 50. Working alone, students read the paragraph, selecting between options for blanks in the narrative. Students then came to the board to share their answers. Next, working in partners, they practiced reading the paragraph aloud, as a rehearsal for afterwards when I called on various individuals to read each sentence aloud for the class.
  • We watched a little bit of La edad de hielo (Ice Age) – en español with English subtitles.
  • Tarea:
    1. Flashcards of the first half of the vocabulary (las actividades extracurriculares – el coro). Note: The second half will be assigned tomorrow for Wednesday. Make them two-sided with Spanish on one side and drawings/clip art or English on the other.
    2. Handout: español II = p.42-43, 1B- a ver si recuerdas – (‘test’)
