1. Warm-up sentences translating the 4 irregular preterite verbs studied as homework: Estar, Tener, Hacer and Poder.

2. Homework Correction: Activity 19, page 142 (irregular preterite verbs))

3. New packet: Irregular Preterite Verbs (rosado). We went over the "grouped irregulars" (U stems, I stems, and J stems)and compared these with the irregulars on the backside of the first page of our WHITE reference packet, EL PRETERITO. Then we went over the NUMBERED STUDY POINTS in the Irregular Preterite packet.

4. We reviewed the IRREGULAR PRETERITE VERB GRID we began last week, and the verbs we added in last night: TENER, ESTAR, PODER & HACER.

5. PRETERITE ORAL EXAM PRACTICE: Preparing for FRIDAY, we wrote out answers to questions #11-23 (2B Preterite Partner Questions - pink questions handout). Later, we reviewed our answers and then practiced asking and answering these with our "seat partner".

6. I introduced the concept of DIRECT OBJECTS and DIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS: I gave examples and we watched the Gram Activa DVD. See page 138 in your textbook. I handed out a packet (rosado) "Direct Object Pronouns: LO, LA, LOS, LAS, Referring to Persons".
