• Hoja Azul: New vocabulary list, Lección 1-A(primera parte) – page 10:
Students filled-in the Spanish for the English provided while I check off cover letter outline and rough draft – homework due today.

• We went over the words on the vocabulary, Amplicación and ¡Cuidado! – page 11. I gave tips, notes and some synonyms in Spanish for several of the items on their blue handout.

• Working with their “Bailarina” partner, students read the “article” on page 9 focusing on THREE types of traditional narrations: The joke The fable, and the legend.

• Actividad 1-2, page 11: Reading comprehension exercise based on page 9.

• We reviewed the reading together, as a whole class – and I explained any problematic sections; and then we went over the exercise to verify their answers.

• We pushed the partner orals back to tomorrow – we had quite a few absences, and the previous activities took much longer than I had planned…Were people sleepy due to the time change?

• ANUNCIO: Prepare a “clean joke” in Spanish for class on Thursday.

• Tarea:
1. Practice for your oral – REMEMBER to bring back your rough draft AND your resume tomorrow.
2. Begin studying the new vocabulary.
3. Look for a good (clean) joke in Spanish for Thursday.
