Español IV
17 de noviembre de 2008

• I announced a comprehension quiz tomorrow where students will demonstrate their understanding of when to use which past tense – the preterite or the imperfect. They will select the best answer for a fill-in sentence.
• Students volunteered to present and we established the presentational order. Students wrote in the names of the presenters on their white “Reacciones a los proyectos” handout.
• The students organized their project and preparation materials into a packet to be turned in. The packet is as follows:
1. Points scoring page – with student’s name, and presentation number
2. Final draft of story project, typed.
3. At least 1 rough draft (I’d love to see 2) – one of the drafts includes the editing comments from the editing circle activity.
4. Graphic Organizer re: elements of the story.
• We began our presentations and those listening completed their reactions. In each class only 4 people presented today, but I expect several more to present tomorrow.
• Working with a partner, students reviewed the vocabulary on page 25, and applied it writing out translation sentences – yellow handout.
• Tarea:
1. Complete the sentences, if not done in class.
2. Complete the sentence exercises based on the “meaning changers”, page 32.
