Español II
23 de octubre de 2008

• Warm-up: Yellow handout, “B1-6 – practice workbook” ¿Sabes a quién conozco? Practicing the uses, and forms, of Saber and Conocer.
• I introduced the formulas for asking and answering questions about “How long someone has been doing something”. See the box at the top of page 58. I demonstrated with several details from my life.
• Next we practiced with talking about how long some of us have been playing the piano, saxophone, etc. and how long some of us have been playing soccer and volleyball.
• We then practiced some more of this structure by saying the items aloud for Activity 18, on page 58.
• JUEGOS! Students selected the board games they wanted to play in Spanish and the groups they wanted to play with. I promised they could play more tomorrow, as they only got 20 minutes today (of the 30 earned with the filled bottle of marbles).
• Tarea:
1. Write out the sentences we practiced aloud for Activity 18, page 58.
2. Complete the backside of the warm-up handout (1B-7) filling in either the question or the answer for how long someone has been doing something.
