• We listened to students taking a survey about their special days, see page 8, Días especiales. Then we answered comprehension questions about it in Actividad 13, page 8.
• HANDOUT – Vocabulario – los días especiales. Practice games based on this list can be found at http://www.quia.com/jg/517892.html
• Actividad 14, page 9.
1. Students read about how frequently Lucía does various activities.
2. I distributed a HANDOUT: Actividad 14 – Parte 2: The same grid that Lucía had completed, but this time students used it to survey one another about how often they did the items indicated. They asked the question, “¿Con qué frequencia (changed the infinitive to the tú form of the verb)? And then filled in the name of the person for the frequency s/he answered.
• I introduced the País hispanohablante project. Students selected their countries at random by pulling a small image of a flag from each of the Spanish-speaking countries. If you were absent, check with me about which countries are available for you to report on.
• HANDOUT – Un país hispanohablante - See separate blog entry.
• We organized our presentation order, and all but 3 groups presented their “dramitas” – una conversación.
• Tarea:
1. Complete part 3 of Actividad 14, below the grid on your handout: writing 5 sentences including the results you found out about your classmates.
2. Get started on your project: Rough draft due on Thursday.
3. Bonus homework points: Make flashcards of the words YOU need to practice – spelling and/or meanings – from the pink vocabulary list handout from today. Need a copy of the list? Go to the website listed above, and then select the hyperlink “List of terms”
