Español II
16 de marzo de 2009

• Working with a partner, students completed a vocabulary crossword puzzle while I checked in their 1B Flashcards (p.68). Once all work checked in, we went over the answers together. The definitions in Spanish are a good practice for the reading comprehension/recognition part of the Vocabulary Test Tomorrow.
• Memoria: with a different partner, students played this vocabulary game, like Concentration – stating the meanings of the words as they flipped over the cue cards.
• We took notes over “formula” for asking and answering questions about how long someone has done an activiy. The formula is: “Hace + amount of time + que + verb in form of person doing the activity” See page 58.
• Practiced the above “formula” asking and answering questions using a selection of people, verbs and objects/information.
• Wrote out Activity 18, page 58, stating the indicated people have been doing the activities pictured for the amount of time given for each of the six examples.
