Español IV
22 de Septiembre de 2008

• Viewed one segment on the DVD, Los jóvenes mexicanos opinan – a series of interviews with Mexican teenagers (and one of their teachers) about various aspects of daily life. Today we watched the section about weekends. We debriefed afterwards, reviewing the questions posed and the various answers given. I encouraged students to maintain a GLOSARIO PERSONAL – to write down words & expressions they come across that they hadn’t learned/remembered before.
• Roving partner orals: Students took turns asking and answering questions about how they spent the past weekend and then moved onto the next position in the classroom. Students talked with several partners.
• Period 3: I shared the lyrics from the song, Ave María (NOT the traditional one) by David Bisbal that I used as the cue to move to their next partner. You can check out him singing this song on his video on You Tube.
• Period 1 continued on presenting their personal shield projects and the rest of the class continued with their listening response forms. Of those who hadn’t presented on Friday, no one in period 3 was ready to present today – and tomorrow will be their last opportunity.
• Period 3 watched the last part of our Eloise movie – en español - Period 1 only has a little more than 5 minutes left, and they’ll likely finish it tomorrow.
• Tarea:
New packet(white) – Realidades 3, Capítulo 6 – Please complete activities 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3. These exercises review/reinforce professions.
