Spanish II 03-11-09

I was out of class giving the Spanish IB Oral Exams today. Here's a summary of the plans I left with our nice substitute teacher, Miss Gergen:

1.Check in the homework (1) Act. 5 – page 50, (2) Act. 8, part 1, - page 52, (3) 2 “fan folds” of vocabulary : 5-7 English/Spanish word sets X’s a total of 8 columns

2. Partner oral/vocabulary practice:
• Ask them to take open their notebooks to their partner appointment sheet
(2 girls where absent in period 4 – please give their appointment sheets to them.
• BLUE Partner Orals:
Partner A has to ask her/his questions in Spanish to Partner B to get the answers and vice versa.
• Have students move back to their chairs, and debrief as a class, by asking a couple of the questions from each side.

3. Reviewing last night’s homework:
A. Activity 5, page 50 ¿Quién es?: Write out the vocabulary word/phrase that is described by each sentence. Call on someone to read the definition, and ask the whole class ¿Cuál vocablo es?
B. Activity 8 (part 1), page 52: Students were to THREE ACTIVITIES from those in the purple bordered box and write A SENTENCE IN SPANISH about EACH of them. Connect them together to make a little paragraph. Now we’re ready for PART 2, page 52. They each circulate, taking to 3 other students (one at a time) according to the model. They’ll do part 3 as homework tonight. – but don’t tell them yet, so they don’t try to do it on the sly/side.

4. Comparisons
• Review what we did yesterday in the Yellow Packet – (Comparisons of Equality).
• Have students complete Actividad 10 – page 53 in their text books. Have them write out the whole sentence on a piece of paper, letting them know you will be collecting it. I want them to write out the whole sentence because I want them to internalize this “formula” for making equal comparisons. Circulate and help them while they work, and then go over the answers together once done.

5. Continue with ICE AGE – the counter minutes for each class is on the Post-it Notes on the outside of the case. Stop about 5 minutes before end of class to introduce the HWK.
