10 de febrero de 2008

• Warm-up: Translating another set of five sentences (like those we did yesterday) combining various items from the vocabulary and grammar:
A noun + nationality adjective + descriptive adjective + verb + frequency
expression + place. We then went over the answers and I gave tips about how
to do these.
• Review of VERBS:
1. We went over the endings for –AR, -ER, and –IR verbs
2. We corrected the homework – focusing on –ER verbs.
3. Continued on to the next section in the white packet – IR verbs. We did some of the items together, then we divided the exercise I-1-3 in half in the class: the left-side did the odd numbers and the right-side did the evens. We went over the corrections together.
4. Partners played “Verb Battleship” – having to conjugate the verbs to earn the quadrant to find out if their partner’s ship(s) were located there.
• Test reminders:
1. Lesson test on Thursday (75 points) = period 4 got a study guide; period 2 will get it tomorrow. The basics are:
a. Know all of the vocabulary words on the green Quia sheet - and how to spell them.
b. Know all of the adjectives from the lesson – page 3.
c. Be able to modify the endings of the adjectives to match the person/thing described.
d. Know the verb SER – all of its forms and when you use them.
e. Know all of the verbs in the lesson and how to make the form match the person doing the action. (Tonight’s homework)
f. Know the question words: Who? What? When? Where? From where? Why? How? How much/many? Which? We’ve been practicing these to build our sentences, and we will do a lot with them tomorrow, too.
2. Spanish-speaking Countries Map and Capitals test on Friday:
a. Match the name of the country to its letter on a map.
b. Know the name of the capital city for each country.
• Tarea:
Pink two-sided verb grid: Fill-in the meanings for all of the verbs (these are the ones from the lesson and are included on the test). Then fill-in all of the forms of the verbs: Notice all of the –AR verbs are on the front, and then the –ER, and –IR verbs are on the back side.
