Español IV - 31 de marzo de 2008

• ¿Cómo pasaste las vacaciones? (How did you spend your vacation?) = Rotating partner orals; students asked and answered questions as well as tracked how many of which kind of question their partners posed to them.
• Mariana e Isabel presented their orals re: something that happened to them during their childhoods while the other students wrote their responses, as before. I believe we are all complete with this project now.
• I introduced a new short story along with some reading strategies. See page 38, and read: Estrategias de lectura, and then complete ACTIVIDAD 1-41.
• We paired off with our ‘Escultor” partner and began reading the short story aloud to one another. Most partners finished and got a start on the two homework exercises based on the story (see below).
• HANDOUT: La lista maxima de verbos = this list includes the verbs from the lessons we have had so far, and we’ll be using it as a basis for verb reviews and daily conjugation and meanings quizzes. We divided the column into groups of five and I assigned the first group (Aborrecer – Caer) for tomorrow.
• Tarea:
1. Complete Act. 24 & 43, page 41 in the textbook, based on the story – “Cuéntame un cuento”.
2. Use the form of “tú” to complete the conjugation exercise on the reverse of the Lista máxima de verbos with the verbs to be studied for tomorrow. Be sure you know the meanings and the conjugations for all of these forms. NOTE: we ADDED the FUTURO and the CONDICIONAL (POTENCIAL) the exercises as well.
