• Students watched a video called “Buscando una Ganga” (Looking for a bargain) while reading along in the text on pp. 104-105. Then students took turns reading the dialogue to the whole class.

• With their appointment partners, students answered the questions in Activity 3, p. 105, and reported back to the class with their answers.
• Students read the Fondo Cultural (cultural essay) about shoe sizes in Spanish-speaking countries and how they differ from shoe sizes in the United States. We calculated different shoe sizes in class, reviewing our numbers at the same time!
• We reviewed the blue homework Worksheet 2B-1 & 2.
• We reviewed the Verb Grid that students completed as homework to learn to conjugate regular verbs in the preterite tense.
• We listened to the song “¿Cuánto Cuesta?” and joined in on the rap-like lyrics.
