Español IV 03-18-08

• Warm-up: we finished up my “Spring Break in Spain” story – incorporating the vocabulary and the two past tenses that we have been working on. This “story” is an example of the kind of anecdote the students are developing as a project for class this Thursday.
• HANDOUT: Project expectations – these are general expectations for ANY written project for this class.
• Specific expectations for this project: 30 points:
1. 10 points = Accurate use of the pretérito and imperfecto (correct selection of tense AND correct conjugation)
2. 10 points = Well developed anecdote
3. 10 points = Overall accuracy of language use.
4. A double-spaced type-written FINAL DRAFT turned into me on Thursday – Please DO NOT plan on using this one while presenting.
5. Enough small visuals to build the details as you are relating your story. You will place these under the document camera as you present.

• HANDOUT: Mapa de un cuento. Use this as a graphic organizer to be sure you have included sufficient details in your plan of your anecdote project.

• We went over the vocabulary, ampliación and the ¡Cuidado! On page 25.
• Partner oral = A childhood memory. Students were first to talk generally about their childhoods...what was really good? what wasn't so good? Why? Then they were to relate a specific event, giving lots of details, and then answering their partner’s probing questions to extract even more details. This was also used to spark their ideas about their project.

2. Rough draft ready for editing circle tomorrow.
