• Period 2: Forecasting materials distributed and we went through the instructions together about how to accurately select classes for next school year. All materials are to be returned to me NO LATER THAN FEB. 27TH with:
8 credits, a Math teacher’s initials, a Parent’s signature, and any other
teacher signatures needed.

Both Periods 2 & 4:
• Warm-up: Written answers to questions based on the vocabulary and irregular Yo forms of the verbs on the mini-review lesson on pages 14 & 15. Students worked on this while I collected the homework. Students stapled their sets of “fan folds” vocabulary repeats and then turned them in.

• Reviewed the answers = practicing How to Answer Verbs and Interrogatives.

• Practice of “To have to …” using “Tener + que + infinitive” – see the box at the top of page 15.

• Activity 3, page 15. Working with a partner, students read this conversation and selected the best infinitive verb needed to complete it for meaning. Then they each wrote out the verb, being sure to use the correct form of the verbs for the 10 blanks in the exercise. Individual students took turns going to the board to write out the needed forms of these verbs and we all corrected our work together.

• Introduced New Unit: 1, Lesson A: ¿Qué haces en la escuela? We began with A primera vista: - first look at the vocabulary and grammar in context – pp. 18 & 19. Students listened to the CD while reading along in their books. We practiced the item in BLUE (vocabulary), and also school rules indicating what ONE MUST DO (Hay + que + infinitive) and MUST NOT DO (Se Prohibe + infinitive).

• Period 4: Our STARS from our poetry groups presented their poems to us. The other students completed a Projects Reactions handout, indicating 3 things they understood, a compliment to the speaker, and a positive suggestion for the next presentation.

• Tarea:
1. 2 Handouts: (1) Lotería – La escuela (2) Vocabulary sheet that goes with it. Prepare your Lotería (Bingo Sheet) with bilingual answers (BOTH the Spanish and English meaning of the words).
