Note: Period 2 turned in their Datos Personales handout from yesterday
Both periods 2 & 4:
• Turned in TWO signed letters/forms:
(A) Syllabus & Workbook Letter
(B) Correct Level?
• Reviewed the pronunciation of vowels using hand gestures to remind us of proper pronunciation. Then we learned/practiced a little rhyme to help with the pronunciation.
• Reviewed the Alphabet – Blue half-page handout of the words for the letters in Spanish. Then we practiced a mini-dialogue introducing ourselves and dictating the spelling of our names to each other in Spanish.
• Reviewed the months of the year and some basic weather vocabulary via a poem sung to the tune of “Oh, My Darling Clementine”. White half-page handout.
• Textbook – page 2: Practiced scanning for the gist, and then actively read these two short dialogues while listening to them on the CD. Period 2 also practiced reading this aloud with a partner, each taking turns reading the separate parts.
• Textbook – page 3: Reviewed how adjectives work: Masculine-singular & plural versus Feminine - singular & plural. Check out the box on the top of page 3.
• Reviewed the ¿Recuerdas? Box the page 3 – additional adjectives.
• Tarea:
1. Activities 1 & 2, pages 2 & 3: Write out answers to these questions using complete sentences (Who, Verb, Information).
2. Page 3: Make your own 2-Column vocabulary list of all of the adjectives on this page (just include the singular masculine form). Spanish on the column on the left and the word’s English equivalent in the right column.
