Precaliento: Vocabulary Practice in Context
• We watched the Video Historia, script on pages 104-105 in textbook.
• ¿Comprendiste? = Activity 3, page 105. 5 comprehension questions based on the reading/Video. Students wrote this out and then we went over the answers in class together.

El Pretérito:
• We watched the Gram Activa, over the use of REGULAR preterites = conjugation practice and a practice oral quiz.

• We played verb bingo, Lotería –Ir & -Er regular verbs in the preterite = more conjugation and pronunciation practice.

• Corrected the yellow handout prepared as homework, “Pretérito: Práctica #1” = Most students completed the “fill-in the blank” answers and many took advantage of the opportunity to put it all together in the TRADUZCA section bit it was unfortunate so many chose not to do this section.

Irregulars in the PRETERITO:
• We went over –IR Stem-changers in the preterite (see the top of the last page in the white handout, El PRETERITO). This is only to let students see that NO REGULAR –AR nor –ER verbs that stem-change in present tense also stem-change in the preterite.

• VERB GRID: LOS IRREGULARES DEL PRETERITO = See the backside of the White handout, EL PRETERITO)
(1) Ir & Ser
(2) Tener, Estar & Andar
Tarea:
1. Workbook Packet (amarillo) = 2B-5, page 44 (whole page): Conjugations in the preterite. Notice that part B practices the YO form of verbs ending with –car, -gar, -zar.
2. WAVA workbook, page 42 & 43 (Activities 10 & 11: vocabulary and preterite)
