• Big review of irregularities in El PRETERITO – In preparation of our PRETERITE TEST TOMORROW.
1. Handout: 2-sided verb grid with Spelling Changers on one side, and other irregulars on the reverse. Students completed, like a “pre-test” while I checked-in homework and returned papers.
2. We went over the answers to the verbs on the grid, and I augmented with phonetics/spelling rules in Spanish that play into these verbs, and what resources students have to review these on their own.
3. We went to the verb practice site www.conjuguemos.com where I demonstrated how students can sign in, create an account and send their results to me. Next I showed them how to select a verb tense and set-up the review game.
4. Projecting the game from the computer site, each student took a turn at the conjugation game, while the rest of the class wrote out the same answers as the person at the keyboard.
