Español IV
10 de septiembre de 2009

• Alpha seating plan by name cards: We’ll start out with this seating and then mix it up later. Thanks for understanding this helps me learn your names.
• Opening handouts:
Need these? Look in the “Hojas extras” tray with the sign that says “IV” over it
(1) Syllabus – blanco- “Bienvenidos a la clase de español”
(2) Datos personales – verde
(3) Course Overview – rosado
• After collecting the “Datos personales” I answered the questions students had asked about me, telling them about my own study of Spanish, travels, family, teaching experience.
• Checked out text books from the library = Look for Conexiones text.
• I distributed a review packet from Spanish III – Vocabulary and grammar overview of all of the lessons.
• Review vocabulary game “La pared de palabras” – reviewing “el alfabeto español” and coming up with words in Spanish beginning with the letter selected at random (pelota del alfabeto). Everyone received his/her own handout of “Pared de palabras” to copy the words down that were being written on the chart on the wall.
• Tarea:
1. Write a FIVE QUESTION TEST in Spanish about the information in the WHITE handout, “Bienvenidos a la clase de español”. Then write their ANSWERS too. You’ll use this as a mixer tomorrow to find out how much your classmates understand about the expectations and grading systems in this course.
2. Cover your textbook with a cloth, or heavy paper, cover so that the edges, corners and spine are protected. It would be wonderful you can do this tonight, but you have until Tuesday to get this done.
3. Suggested study: your review packet.
