• Partner vocabulary practice – drilling with their flashcards (homework) while I checked them off and their Act. 3, page 99.
• We corrected the written homework, reviewing writing out large numbers.
• I introduced the simple past, El pretérito. I did a story telling technique talking about my activities today, yesterday and the day before. Students listened and then made observations as I wrote out the verbs I was using.
• Handout: EL PRETERITO. Please keep this white packet as a ready reference and study guide. We went over the general uses and the time expressions that are markers for the use of this verb form.
• Pink handout: Verb grid. Students and I completed this together and made observations about spelling changes and other details to be careful of when practicing and using this verb tense.
• We began watching Babe in Spanish – Bebé.
• Tarea:
QUIZ on Monday: Know the time expressions at the top of the white preterite packet, and again, at the bottom of the pink preterite verb grid.
