Tuesday Late-start Schedule

1. Warm-up: Students wrote out answers to the first 10 questions on the 2B Partner Questions Handout (we'll be using these for our ORAL TEST on Friday) while I collected and graded their "fan folds" vocabulary practice homework.

2. We reviewed the questions and their possible answers - Students need to be sure they are answering with BOTH the INFORMATION as well as the CORRECT FORM OF THE PRETERITE VERBS.

3. New vocabulary in context: We watched the DVD of the Video Historia. See pages 132-133 in the textbook for the script and photos taken from the video.

4. Working with a partner, students wrote out answers to the comprehension questions about the Video Historia: Actividad 3, page 133. Once done, we reviewed the answers together as a whole class.

5. Gram Activa - DVD presentation of the irregular preterite verbs featured in this lesson: Ser, Ir, and Hacer, Tener, Estar, and Poder - see pages 140 and 142.

6. Textbook page 142 AND White Irregular Verb Grid (begun in lesson 2B) AND White EL PRETERITO packet. We continued our work over the "grouped irregulars", continuing filling in the verb grid for the "UV", "U", "i", and "J" groups.

Homework:
1. Study the 4 verbs on page 142 (Hacer, Tener, Estar, and Poder. For tomorrow, KNOW their Forms and Meanings in the Preterite. Example I give you "She was sick" and you'll write "Ella estuvo enferma".
2. Activity 19, page 142: Write out the forms of the verbs needed to fill the spaces in the paragraph.
