Español IV 05-08-08

· Maestra Thurber-Brown is at a conference today, so Maestra Range and our favorite substitute teacher, Maestra Fowler taught class.

· Today was Elena’s birthday, so we sang her the traditional birthday song in Spanish, “Las Mananitas.”

· Students wrote explanations of various protections and freedoms provided for in the International Declaration of Human Rights document and the rest of the class tried to guess which they were referring to when they read them out loud.

· Maestra Range checked the homework and went over the answers to Activity 3-2 on p.81 and Activity 3-10 in p.84.

· Maestra Range demonstrated how to print out Power Point presentation handouts for student projects next week. Use the Print menu to print a “handout” with “3” slides to a page, and print it in pure “black & white.”

· Maestra Range and Maestra Fowler handed out Progress Reports. Students will turn them back in to us on Monday, signed by a parent/guardian and with a SMART goal written on it.

· Maestra Range handed out a Human Rights workbook packet, a graphic organizer about the movie and explained the homework assignments.

· To prepare for watching the movie, we reviewed the story “map” students filled out for homework last night. We also discussed some of the questions from the handout. Then we watched the second part of “The Official Story.”

Tarea:

· Complete Derechos Humanos Workbook Packet WB 51, Activity 3-1.

· Do Activity 3-11, p.84 in the textbook.

· Fill out the graphic organizer “Los Personajes” about the movie.

· Have your parent/guardian sign your Progress Report and write a SMART goal. This is due on Monday, May 12.
