Español IV
10 de febrero de 2008

• Entrevista personal: Partner interview oral – we partnered up using the little dinosaurios y ranas, and then asked and answered these personal information interview questions. Later we debriefed as a class sharing interesting information we learned about one another.
• Numbers review: practiced the numbers 0-100, and then 100-1,000,000 in Spanish. We had three timings of “speed talking” through a long list of several columns of numbers.
• We used the numbers to exchange our telephone numbers in Spanish with three other people, completing the little “Compañeros de clase” information sheet. Please keep this as a “ready reference” – it also has my email, phone numbers, and blog address.
• We played a game, rather like “Farkle” called “Como apuntan los tantos” – in this game it is easy to earn a high number of points, so it is a fun way to practice numbers.
• Tarea:
1. As only EIGHT people completed the composition assignment from last night (P-9, page 7) if you are one of the 22 yet to do it – please write me the email in the preterite about winter break – including lots of details.
2. Continue with the Workbook packet/review. Study pages 13, 14 & top of 15 – re: Stem-changing verbs in the present tense. THEN complete the verb grid in exercise P-10.
3. Refer to your EL PRETERITO packet – top of the last page – IR verbs in the preterite. THEN recreate the same grid as you just did in P-10 in your packet EXCEPT this time, WRITE THOSE SAME VERBS in their PRETERITE equivalents.
