Español II
5 de febrero de 2009

Warm-up: SER
• Activity 7 – page 5: complete with the form of SER as needed by the subject of the sentence. Students wrote these out as I collected their homework sentences. I also distributed name cards, as I took roll.
• Students volunteered to read the sentences from Activity 7 aloud, as we reviewed our answers.

Review of the Basics: Verbs
• We reviewed subject pronouns, again, to refresh what we did yesterday. Remember the SUBJECT is the PERSON WHO DOES THE ACTION OF THE VERB. The SUBJECT PRONOUN is the word we use when we SUBSTITUTE the person’s NAME with I, you, she, he, we, or they.
• Reviewed the FOUR words for YOU in Spanish: Tú, Usted, Vosotros/as, Ustedes.
• Reinforced the difference between USTEDES (you-all) and ELLOS (they).
• Blue two-sided handout with drawings of various subject pronouns = we labeled them with the correct term in Spanish.
• White packet: Overview of conjugations and meanings of basic Spanish verbs.
1. Notes on how to use –AR verbs on the first page of the handout.
2. Reviewed meanings of the list of common –AR verbs.
3. Conjugation practice of –AR verbs, page 2 of packet.
