• Stem-changing Verbs: I corrected homework while students filled in a
Blue verb grid – already organized separating out the: (a) E-IE verbs (b) O-UE verbs and (c) E-I verbs. As reference materials students used their (1) White Stem-changing verb packet AND (2) their white two-sided handout: Lotería & Stem-changing verbs vocabulary sheet.

• We went over the answers on 1A-5 (Yellow Practice Workbook Packet) – Also practicing Stem-changing Verbs. While we were doing this, we also reviewed how basic verb conjugation works, as there were still some students who need to practice making the ending of the verb match who is doing the action.

• Tener + que + infinitive = Practicing the “formula” for expressing who HAS TO DO what, we corrected Actividad 4, page 22 – from last night’s homework. Tener is conjugated to match WHO has to…and then que to indicate the action is required…followed by the verb in its “dictionary form”/infinitive for WHAT the person HAS TO DO.

• Introduced Affirmative/Negative words (adverbs/adjectives) – see page 31. We went over the information in the box at the top of the page, and I acted out some examples of “Someone versus No one” / “Something versus Nothing”/ “Some versus None – not any at all”/ “Always versus Never”, etc.

• I distributed workbooks – check with me if you were absent to get yours. Please show me your receipts as soon as possible so I can change your “0” to 10 points!

• We practiced vocabulary listening comprehension with Actividad 5, page 9 in our new workbooks: Writing, Audio and Video Workbook. I’ll refer to this as your WAVA workbook.
