Español IV
16 de enero de 2008

• Power Point Project Presentations:
Period 1: Esteban (Machu Picchu), Eva (Antonio Gaudí), Martín (Joaquín Rodrigo).
Period 3: Diego (Andrés Segovia).

• El subjuntivo con las expresiones impersonales – page 83 (text). We went over this usage of the subjunctive with impersonal expressions which parallels that which we studied in our last lesson – only replace the first subject with an impersonal expression. Example: I doubt that we have school on Monday (Dudo que tengamos clase el lunes) changes to It is doubtful that we will have school on Monday (Es dudoso que tengamos clase el lunes).

• Círculos redactores: Students read over each others’ compositions and then made editorial suggestions while working in small groups and consulting the Editing Your Composition/List Para Revisar Su Composición handout (also separate blog entries).

• Period 3: I introduced the game, Brisca, and we played a few rounds – open-handed, so we could share the strategies and the point system while we played.
