Español II
07 de abril de 2009

1. Warm-up: 15 articles of clothing - pictures and words in English to give the Spanish equivalents.

2. New Handout: clip art of El cuerpo humano - we identified them in Spanish (get the notes from a Study Buddy)

3. Listening practice: we listened to the song, Mi cuerpo (Lonnie Dai Zovi, Alicante Press) and filled-in the missing parts of the body and their associated action.

4. We learned some movements to go along with the song, along with the most basic of Salsa dance steps. We practiced saying/singing the song along with the moves.

5. I took questions over any confusions about last night's packet, and I'm giving you another night to complete it.

6. I began introducing grooming articles (los articulos del tocador) - Check the previous entry to this one for today's list. We went over pronunciations and spellings as I put examples under the document camera.

7. We played, "What's missing?" - I put a small collection of grooming articles under the document camera, covered the lens and removed an item. Students had to identify, "?Qué falta?"

8. Tarea
(a) Announced (Confirmed from yesterday's announcement)= Reflexive Verb Test on Thursday. Be sure you know ALL MEANINGS, and HOW TO CONJUGATE these verbs. Be able to TRANSLATE THEM FROM THEIR ENGLISH EQUIVALENTS.
