1. Preterite Partner Oral Assessment: In 8 rounds of questions, each student alternated between ASKING and ANSWERING a selected group of the questions from the study sheets. Those who ASKED the questions also scored their partner's responses, according to the guidelines of (1)appropriateness of the information (2)accuracy of the verb (3)promptness of the delivery.
THE STUDENTS DID GREAT! and I AM A VERY PROUD TEACHER, Indeed. Gracias, estudiantes.

2. More practice with irregular preterites - we continued on in the pink packet:
A. Spelling changes with -er & -ir verbs (also see the bottom of the front page of your white reference packet, EL PRETERITO).
B. SER, IR, DAR, VER - more practice with these.
C. We completed "Practices B & C" in the packet.

3. More practice with Direct Object Pronouns - We continued on in that packet, too. Especially focused on when "YOU" is the SUBJECT of the VERB versus the DIRECT OBJECT of the VERB.

4. I gave out PROGRESS REPORTS.

Tarea:
1. Please return your SIGNED PROGRESS REPORT ON MONDAY.
