• Pruebita de práctica: 12 items selected from the Para empezar (review) vocabulary list to have been studied over the weekend. This one will be for in-class performance points – please remember this is how I will “check” study homework in the future, but it will go into the “tests” category of your grade.
(I put the English side of 12 flashcards, one at a time, under the document camera and students copied the English and then filled-in the Spanish after all items were given.) We corrected this in class, and then turned it in.
• We started the chapter in the book, Para empezar.
Page 1 – We read the Fondo cultural aloud to our seat partner, and then went over it together as a class.

Page 2 – We listened to the two teenagers answer questions about their typical days in school and after.

Then we did Activities 1 & 2, pg. 2.
Act. 1 = Wrote out answers to the questions, reviewed as a class.
Act. 2 = Wrote out what we do, using the given verbs. Then we asked and answered questions with an “animalito” partner about these.

Page 3 – Irregular YO VERBS. We started to fill in a verb chart using the verbs in the in the yellow box – ABOVE the grids. (Conocer, dar, hacer, poner, saber, salir, traer, ver, caer). As a whole class we did The Spanish & English Meanings, and then the Yo, and Tú forms of the verbs.

• I distributed WORKBOOKS. Please write YOUR NAME on the inside page.
It would be a good idea to write my name in parenthesis, as you did in your textbook.
