• Introduced “colmos” – a kind of Word play joke, as a lead into our three types of narations: Jokes, Fables and Legends.
• Working with a partner: Students read page 9 aloud to one another and completed Act. 1-2, page 11.
• We reviewed the vocabulary on page 10 (much of it was incorporated in the reading on page 9), and then extended the practice with Act. 4 & 5, page 12- incorporating the words in the “Ampliación” and “Cuidado” sections.
• Period 3 went over the homework from last night – adding more names under Latinos of political importance and finding evidence to contradict the list of latino negative stereotypes.
• We began our “official” review of the preterite (we’ve touched on this previously) – see pages 13 &14. I showed a power point based on these two pages.
• Tarea:
1. Write out, and practice, 3 “clean” jokes for class tomorrow.
2. Write out Act. 3, page 11 = Write a sentence for each of the 5 characteristics in the box and include the name of a celebrity that embodies that trait.
3. Act. 8, page 14 = Regular preterite practice: select the appropriate verb for the blank from those in the box, and conjugate it in its correct form in the preterite.
