• 30 point concept/recognition quiz over when to use the preterite versus the imperfect.
• Read the Sci-Fi short story in our chapter, “Cuéntame un cuento” – pp.38-41. The students began independently as they completed their quizzes, and then once all were done with the quiz, they worked with a partner, reading the story aloud to one another.
• We began a discussion/review of the story, beginning to plot the story elements into a “Mapa del cuento”.
• Corrections of last night’s homework: The translation sentences using the vocabulary 1B- page 25 (both classes) – Period 1 also corrected the sentences using the “meaning changers” from page 32 – Period 3 will do this tomorrow.
• We continued on with our project presentations.
