Español II
05 de octubre de 2008

• Warm-up: Listened to the CD audio of page 25; practiced the new vocabulary highlighted in blue ink (listen and repeat); and then completed the two active comprehension activities: 1 & 2 on page 75.
• We watched the “Video Historia” on the DVD, see pages 76-77.
• Reviewed “Reflexive Verbs” – first with the “Gram Activa” on the DVD with the textbook. Then we corrected our homework – the front side of the yellow verb grid distributed yesterday. I asked students to closely check for two things:
(1) They had removed the “-se” from the end of the infinitive form in the first column and had changed it to its various forms for each conjugations.
(2) They had used the appropriate base form of the verb for each of the subjects, as they normally do.
(3) ¡OJO! = WATCH OUT! The common mistake is to just put the verb endings onto the “infinitive” form.
Example:
For “ponerse” in “Yo”
(1) The se→me
(2) poner →pongo
(3) NOT…me ponero , but rather ME PONGO
• I distributed a new yellow handout: Las acciones para preparase y los artículos del tocador - Mi rutina diaria. Then using the document camera and grooming articles, I demonstrated the meanings for the items listed.
• We practiced the new vocabulary by playing “What’s missing” - ¿Qué falta? I put a selection of the grooming articles under the doc. camera and then removed one “under cover”. Students identified what item I had removed.
• Next we practiced talking about the actions in our daily routine by using the verbs on both yellow handouts (verb grid and new one) AND my small soft ball with lots of verb subjects written on it. After demonstrating with information from a few student volunteers about what time in the morning they awaken, we tossed the ball from student to student and answered the question, ¿A qué hora se despierta?
• Introduced the homework.
• Tarea:
(1) Complete the reflexive verbs from the yellow verb grid by conjugation the first two verbs on the backside.
(2) Write 10 sentences about your daily routine using our new reflexive verbs AND grooming articles vocabulary. In each sentence be sure you include information to answer the questions:
a. ¿Qué haces?
b. ¿Cuándo lo haces?
c. ¿Qué cosa(s) usas?
