• We began our BIG REVIEW for the FINAL EXAM – each day we will have a review handout over each of our major units. Study pages, vocabulary, grammar points and cultural readings (Fondo Cultural) are indicated for each lesson. I affirmed that a student who wants to do well on the final will also need to study everyday outside of class.

• Today’s Final Review = Unit 1, Lesson A & B with an extra handout over STEM-CHANGING VERBS.

• 4B Vocabulary Practice: Reviewed our answers to the 2 book exercises from last night’s homework:
1. Act. 3 = comprehension questions on page 215
2. Act. 4 = using the “intruso” vocabulary item in a sentence.

• Imperfecto: General/Descriptive Past Tense
1. I shared my answers to the questions on the homework handout, Entrevista acera de la niñez, I modeled how to:
a. convert questions into answers
b. what types of information is appropriate for each of the questions
c. what happens to the verb in the answers.
2. Using their own answers to these questions, we did a “roving partner” oral, where students interviewed one another about their childhoods.

• Test Review: We went over the answers for our last unit test – we finally got all of the make-ups complete☺ - vocabulary for unit 3 and the preterite.
• Tarea/Homework:
Yellow Practice Workbook Packet:
1. Exercise 4B-4, page 85 = reading comprehension and answering questions in the present tense.
2. Exercise 4B-5, page 86 = select the best verb to complete the sentence, and then use its imperfecto form.
