Español IV 03-17-08 – Am Assembly Schedule

• Warm-up: Translating sentences about my fictitious trip to Spain on supposed Spring break, coincidentally included lots of vocabulary and verbs from our lesson. We did sentences 1-6 today, and will finish it up tomorrow.
• Review of the Preterite versus the Imperfecto:
  1. Students wrote out what they recalled are the differences and then we wrote notes on the Smart Board using the “Semáforo del pasado” as a guideline: Red Light (stopped action = preterit); Yellow light (meaning changers), Green light (on-going action in the past = imperfect)
  2. We reviewed the previous Power Point, and continued on into the imperfecto – students taking notes.
  3. Referred to our white handout: re: pg. 28 in textbook.
• Distributed Progress Reports to those students whose parents did not already pick them up at conferences last week. We reviewed the elements of a SMART goal:
  

1. Specific (WHAT exactly will you do),
2. Measurable (Use your data from your Progress Report: which category will you improve/maintain),
3. Attainable (explain HOW you’ll be able to accomplish your goal),
4. Relevant (the goal has to do with your achievement in Spanish class),
5. Timely (include a deadline by which you will meet the goal).

• Tarea:
1. Progress Report signed & SMART goal written on the same page.
2. Act. 29, page 29 of textbook (29 verbs conjugated: preterite or imperfect?)
