1. Vocabulary page 58 - Crossword puzzle. Doing the crossword, Xavier found a typo on the vocabulary list: At dawn should read Al amanecer NOT al almanecer. I've edited the quia site, too. Gracias, Xavier!

2. Homework corrections: We finished going over the Ir de camping packet, and corrected the 1-4 exercise in the workbook. Some students found those word scrambles hard to figure out!

3. Two Past Tenses Compared: Imperfecto and Preterite = NEW PACKET. We worked through the first 3 pages, taking notes while I get examples and hint as to how to remember to use these accurately. We also completed the Practices A & B.

4. I introduced the Parque Nacional Project:
A)Project Description Handout (See separate Blog Entry)
DUE date for Power Point? October 26th.
B)Showed 4 examples of previous projects
C)Handout packet: Names of LOTS of parks/reserves in the Spanish-speaking world, AND LOTS of websites for research.

5. Students signed-up for specific parks to research.
