Español II
19 de febrero de 2009

• Warm-up:
A. Pink survey questions – what are your likes/dislikes
B. White “quiz” reviewing
(1) Regular conjugations of verbs
(2) verbs gustar & encantar.

• Followed-up with a BIG REVIEW of verbs like GUSTAR whose verb form reflects what is “liked” (what is pleasing). These verbs use “Indirect object pronouns” (Me, te, le, nos, os, les) and reflect “To whom” the activity or the thing “is pleasing”.

• Special Expressions with Tener:
Yesterday we practiced the expression:
1. “To have to…” using Tener + que + infinitive
Today we listened to a “rhythmic talking song” (to a Bossanova beat) incorporating
8 more special expressions:
2. To “be” hungry/ to have hunger = Tener (mucha) hambre
3. To “be” hot/ to have heat = Tener (mucho) calor
4. To “be” cold/ to have cold = Tener (mucho) frío
5. To “be” in a hurry / to have hurriedness = Tener (mucha) prisa
6. To “be” embarrassed / to have shame = Tener (mucha) vergüenza
7. To “be” thirsty / to have thirst = Tener (mucha) sed
8. To “be” afraid / to have fear = Tener (mucho) miedo
9. To “be” sleepy / to have sleepiness/dreaminess = Tener (mucho) sueño

• We watched the Video Historia on the DVD of the story on pages 20 & 21: incorporating the vocabulary in context.

• Period 2 presented most of their poems to the class today: We have 3 more to present tomorrow.
