• Review of the sequence of past tenses: General question about if someone has ever done something? = Present perfect; A comment about a specific action at a specific time? = preterite; A comment about what life was generally like; OR a comment about a feeling that you didn’t “get over” = Imperfect. We reviewed the basics of these forms (see your white handout that goes over the basic conjugations of all of the tenses we have used) and then applied them to Activity 7, Page 7 = textbook.
• Students worked with partners to come up with the questions they could use and some possible answers for Act. 7, p.7, following the sequence of tenses above. I circulated and stamped/checked off the homework pack, and then we went over Activity 7 as a whole class.
• Period 3 did a review of the irregular preterite forms – see a separate posting on this blog for that.
• Both classes continued with their ESCUDOS presentations.
• Tarea:
1. Finish your packet (white Capítulo 6-Realidades 3):
Activities 4 & 5 = Using the future and talking about professions.
2. Text book: Activity 9 page 7. Act. 9 – Write the email about last summer – using the preterite- but email it to me cthurber@ttsd.k12.or.us
3. Text book: Activity 10 – Match up the word in the column on the left with the letter of their definitions on the right.
