Español IV
17 de febrero de 2009

• Reviewed Ordinal Numbers – corrections for Workbook packet WB7 & 8.
• We organized the presentation order for our “Escudo Personal” projects – I checked students off as rows took turns going to the board and selecting a slot.
• I distributed handouts – Reacciones a los proyectos: For each presenter, the other students are to write in English 3 things understood, and then in Spanish a compliment about something the presenter did well, and then a positive suggestion for something to do even better on next presentation.
• We began presenting today: 9 people gave their talks/compositions. I was really pleased with how so many supported their ideas so fully. Buen trabajo, estudiantes!
• I showed the students the QUIA site, to practice the names of the professions – On the upper right-hand corner of the green vocabulary sheet I distributed today. If you don’t have it with you, the address is http://www.quia.com/jg/700337.html

• Tarea
1. Complete both sides of the white two-sided handout: Crucigrama de profesiones (crossword) and Sopa de letras (worksearch).
