Spanish II 09-30-08

Español II
30 de Septiembre de 2008
• Vocabulary practice and review: I placed clip art flashcards representing the vocabulary under the document camera and we played “What’s missing?” after removing one of them. See page 40 and your green vocabulary handout.
• Review: Tener + que + infinitive (the form of the verb that end with either an –ar, -er, or -ir) meaning “To HAVE to ---(do whatever the meaning of the infinitive is). Example: Tengo que estudiar el vocabulario = I have to study the vocabulary.
1. To practice this special construction, students interviewed one another using an “autograph” activity with 16 expressions using ¿Quién tiene que ___r? When they found someone who “had to study more in science” or “had to clean out their locker’, etc. that person signed off on the sheet.
2. We used some of the information discovered about each other to practice writing up our “findings” AND to practice the different forms of TENER.
Examples:
Margarita tiene que trabajar.
Graciela no tiene que trabajar, pero ella tiene que estudiar mucho.
Eva e Ileana tienen que estudiar más en la clase de ciencias.
Eva y yo tenemos que llegar temprano mañana.
3. We’ll do more of this for homework.
• Para = Meanings and uses – see page 24. We went over the ¿Recuerdas? Box and then completed Actividad 7.
• Homework correction + Stem-changer practice.
1. We read aloud ACT.14, page 27, as I wrote out the correct verb and form under the document camera.
2. Several people seemed overwhelmed by writing the paragraph for ACT. 16, page 28, so I went over the directions, again, and showed an example of how it ought to be done, incorporating an item from EACH of the 3 columns to make a sentence. Then be sure to use ALL of the people in the first column in separate sentences, and you’ll end up writing a paragraph about your typical school day. EXAMPLE:
Yo empiezo mi día escolar muy temprano; llego a las siete de la mañana.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2 QUIZZES THIS WEEK!
(1) Vocabulary = Thursday,
(2) Stem-changing verbs = Friday
Tarea:
1. Write out a total of 10 sentences, using the information from your yellow TENER QUE ____r activity sheet (Lotería de nombres….Tengo que trabajar). Tell what we have to do, continuing as we did in class – see examples above. Use YO, él/ella forms – but use people’s names, nosotros/as forms – but use somebody else’s name y yo, ellos/as forms – but use names.
2. ¿Qué actividades representan estos dibujos? Write 2 sentences per picture.
1 = Use a gustar construction 2 = Use a verb: Ex. A Enrique le gusta jugar al baloncesto. El juega todos los días con sus amigos.
