Español IV
14 de abril de 2009

1. Students turned in their Annotated Bibliographies and Project Proposals.

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 divided into teams of 3's and read aloud the short story in our textbook, "Cuentame un cuento", pages 37 - 41.

5. Exercise 1-41, page 47: Rewrite the sentences in the order in which they occur in the story.

6. Chart the unknown vocabulary words from the story.
Label your columns: (1) Vocablo (2) # de línea (3) mi adivinanza del sentido
As you read through the story a second time, chart the words you don't know, indicate in which line they appear (note the numbers in the left margin) and make your best guess to the meaning based on the context.

7. We began reviewing the vocabulary exercise, and will continue with this tomorrow.
