Spanish II 02-26-09

I was out of the class today at a professional meeting. Here's a summary of the activities I left with the sub for the students:

Spanish II – Periods 2 & 4
Thursday: February 26, 2009

PERIOD 2 ONLY: Ask for any FORECASTING SHEETS – Students have until FRIDAY to turn these in.

Stem-changing Verb practice = Exercise C, page 25, in the WHITE Stem-changing Verbs packet. Write answers – In Complete Sentences, of course(:>)
While students worked on their answers,homework was stamped.

Reviewed the answers to the questions in Ex. C; really focusing on the correct conjugations of the verbs.

Verb Conjugation Battleship Game –
(1) Students got out their “resources” – White Lotería sheet, White Stem-changing Verb Packet, BLUE verb charts.
(2) Distributed the handouts and the students hid their “ships”.
(3) Then the students were paired up with their partners.
Game:
One partner tries to “find” a part of one of the other partner’s boats by identifying the Subject and Infinitive of the verb for their intersecting quadrant. If “partner A” conjugates the verb correctly, “partner B” says if it’s “hit” or “missed” boat. If A doesn’t conjugate the verb correctly, B just calls “a dud” and doesn’t have to tell A anything else.
Look at the bottom of the handout for vocabulary and the number and size of the boats to be hidden. We’ll play this tomorrow, too, with a different set of verbs.

Homework Correction – Affirmative/Negative Words
1. Exercise 1A-6, page 12 = Yellow packet. Placed answers under document camera, and called on students to read aloud.
2. Exercise 19, page 31 in textbook. Called on students to volunteer – and went over the answers on the white board.

Uses of the prepositon “Para” – Read the information in the box on the top of page – 24. Notice the THREE uses demonstrated here for “Para”.
Copy the sentence starters in Actividad 7, and then complete the sentences.

Yellow 2-sided handout: Práctica de conversación/Review of all Stem-changing verbs. Practice asking/answering these questions with other students.

Tarea:
1. WAVA Workbook – Activity 10 – page 12. Write a sentence for each person in the picture, using vocabulary from page 40 saying what each person is doing. (Hint: think about what vocabulary terms are being elicited by the picture.)
2. Yellow Practice Workbook Packet: 1A-7, page 13. Notice the sentences you will write will combine BOTH Stem-changing verbs AND Affirmative/Negative words.
3. Reminder - 1A test will be on Tuesday: All vocabulary on page 40, Stem-changing verbs, Affirmative/Negative Words/Para.
