Spanish II 09-08-08
• New seating chart today.
• We took a warm-up quiz over the adjectives from page 3 that was the homework last night to study. We corrected the quiz together as a class, and then turned them in. This first quiz will count as participation/homework points, instead of as “test” points, as they will later.
• Several students took notes as I presented points to remember when using adjectives. I’ll post it on this blog, too.
• Activity 4, page 4. Students read this selection aloud about two girls with their seat partner, and then listened to six statements and decided if they were true or false.
• Reviewed the subject pronouns – Los pronombres de sujeto: the words that replace peoples’ names and give us the form of the verb. I used drawings under the document camera and notes on the white board to go over these concepts with the class.
• Reviewed the verb “SER” – see page 5- and connected the forms of the verbs with the subject pronouns.
• I distributed a numbers review packet (pink).
• Tarea:
1. Practice the “timed practice” on the last page of the numbers packet. We’ll do this in class tomorrow, so I want you to feel really successful at it.☺
2. Read CAREFULLY the white “How to Study” handout, and then share it with your parents to sign. IMPORTANT! Please be sure to WRITE YOUR NAME on the top of the sheet, so I can give you credit for it – just in case I can’t read your parent’s signature. It happens!
3. 2-sided subject pronoun handout: one side is for singular ones, the back is for plural ones. Be sure to notice if the speaker is looking AT the person = speaking to the person, or if s/he is looking AWAY from the person = speaking about the person.
