• Precaliento/Warm-up: 2-sided White handout (4A-1 & 4A-2) practicing the vocabulary from pages 186 & 187. ( I stamped last night’s sentences/homework while students worked on the warm-up).
• Listening/reading practice: pages 186-187.
• Activity 4, page 190- Writing practice using the Imperfecto, talking about what toys we used to play with as little kids.
• Reviewed our homework sentences, using the SmartNotes – Smart Board. Students (and I) wrote out their English equivalents of their bilingual sentences practicing the Imperfecto and the time expressions given yesterday. While everyone tried his/her hand at translating these, one student would write out the Spanish on the Smart Board.
• NEW PACKET – The Imperfect Tense (Green). We went over the study points on pages 61-63.
• Time Expressions that Imply the Imperfect – Students took notes as we added to the expressions given yesterday. I announced a recognition test on all of these expressions tomorrow.
• Tarea:
1. Matching test on the Imperfect Time Expressions – see the separate blog entry if you forgot your list, lost it, or were absent today.
2. Imperfect Packet: Practices A (p.63) & B (p.64) Note: NOT EXERCISES A & B, pp.64-65.
