Español II
Miércoles: 17 de septiembre de 2008
• Esteban stamped the homework while we reviewed our “Re-do” of WAVA page 5, Activity 6: practicing the meanings and forms (conjugations) of verbs.
• We corrected last night’s homework of the review crossword puzzle.
• Some people were confused about the difference of a brain-storm list and a rough draft of the poem project on page 13, so tomorrow everyone will have a rough draft and we’ll check those in then.
• Interrogative review + How to write sentences (Handout - explanation). By answering the questions in sequence of: Who? What activity? How? Where? When? With whom? and Why? in Spanish we automatically were able to build nice, rich sentences.
• Working with a partner, on a second sentence-writing handout, students worked together using the above formula and created up to 10 more sentences.
• We went over what to study for the test tomorrow:
