· Today we were treated to two excellent presentations. Eva told us about Mayan Myths and Carmelita explained the Aztec civilization.

· We read about the verb GUSTAR and other similar verbs in the textbook on p.100, nad practiced using these verbs by doing Activity 3-32 on p.101. Students came up to write the answers on the whiteboard.

· Students filled out Venn Diagrams comparing Oregon to Guatemala, and we discussed the similarities and differences as a class.

· Students then divided into Expert Groups to start reading about the history of Guatemala during the long civil war. Next week, we will begin watching El Norte and the expert groups will continue the investigation of Guatemala and end by teaching classmates what they have learned.
