20 de enero de 2008

• Warm-up: Practice vocabulary quiz/review – 4A (page 180): I checked in homework while students worked on this.
• Partner vocabulary review/drill – new vocabulary 4B (page 234)
• Green handout: El Imperfecto – we went over the uses, time expressions, and conjugations of the imperfect. This is a review, but it pulls it all together in a shorter form than before.
• Corrections- green packet, The Imperfect Tense, Exercise D - #’s 8a – 15b.
• I introduced the “stop light” concept regarding the differences in uses between the preterite and the imperfect –
Red = “stopped”/limited action → the preterite.
Yellow = “change”→ meaning in the past changes in the preterite.
Green = “on-going” action in the past → the imperfect
• WAVA listening practice – Activities 6 & 7, WAVA workbook pages 70 & 71.
• Tarea:
1. New yellow practice workbook packet: 4B-1 & 4B-2 (practicing voc. Page 234).
2. Activity 4, text page 216 – El intruso = Which word doesn’t fit in the set?
