Español II
19 de octubre de 2008

• I collected homework and stamped/entered it while the students worked on the review handout of pages 98 & 99: Shopping and Numbers.
• We corrected the review together practicing vocabulary regarding:
1. Shopping activities
2. Specialty stores and other places to shop
3. Typical things to purchase at these places
4. General descriptors in opposite pairs: expensive/cheap; new/old; pretty/ugly; large/small*
* I highlighted the difference between
SMALL in SIZE = PEQUEÑO
and
SMALL in QUANTITY/AMOUNT = POCO
5. Colors – took notes about using “el” with the name of a color, when talking about it in general.
6. Numbers: 100 – 1,000,000
Note: in Spanish we would write it as: 1.000.000 - Yes! That DOES mean that you would use the comma with Spanish numbers where we use the decimal point! (1,5 = uno y medio)
• Students completed part 1, of Actividad 1, page 98: Writing 3 sentences about (1)Where they were going to go shopping (2) What they were hoping to buy and (3) TWO descriptors for it.
• Students worked with a partner to complete part 2, Actividad 1, asking and answering questions trying to guess what the other was planning on buying.
• NUMBERS review – PINK handout and speaking game. Students had three different “timed readings” of several columns of large numbers, each time saying the numbers aloud and trying to improve how far they made it through the list.
• Tarea:
Activity 2, page 99. Write out in complete sentences how much each of the items indicated costs in Mexican pesos. Be sure to write out the price in words, too.
