Spanish IV 05-14-08

· Maestra Range distributed a short story called “Los Mejor Calzados” written by Luisa Valenzuela. Students read together in pairs and wrote down new vocabulary and questions about the story.

· Using the yellow handout on “La Historia Oficial,” students filled out information about the characters and, still working in pairs, began to analyze the song Gabi sings and how it applies to the lives of the three main characters. As part of this Friday’s exam, students will write a short essay (100 words) about this topic.

· Maestra Range explained that students can get up to 10 points of extra credit by playing games and quizzes at the website, conjuguemos.com. You can print out or email your results from the website by Friday.

· We enjoyed a presentation about the Galapagos Islands by Clara, and a presentation on Apathy Among the Youth of Uruguay by Camila.

· We reviewed some of the homework from Workbook 51.
