Español II
14 de abril de 2009

1. Students turned in their Mi Rutina Diaria projects: pre-write, rough draft and typed final draft.

2. Received NEW HALL PASSES/EXTRA CREDIT COUPONS - IF YOU WERE ABSENT TODAY; ask me for yours; I have them waiting for you in my gradebook.

3. New and updated copy of our syllabus, "Bienvenidos a la clase de español": We reviewed the classroom expectations and grading policies.

4. We reviewed the two verbs for "To Be": Ser and Estar. See page 86. We went over what students remembered about them, and then added to their notes.

5. NEW packet: SER and ESTAR: Using TENER and HACER to Express "To be". We worked through the study notes and practice exercises on the front and back of the FIRST TWO PAGES (4 PAGES IN ALL).

6. Textbook Activity 19: Ser and Estar.

7. Students got Project Listening Response Handouts, and in both periods we took down the names of the first group of volunteers to present. In period 4, we listened to 5 presentations. Both classes will have more presentations tomorrow, and through the next couple of days.

8. ANNOUNCEMENT: Lesson 2A test = Friday. Including: Vocabulary (pg 96), Reflexive Verbs, Ser/Estar, and some Possessives - see page 88.

NO HAY TAREA ESTA NOCHE - Since you had to work so hard on your projects over the weekend, I'm giving you tonight off.
