Español IV
28 de octubre de 2009

1. Warm-up: Workbook packet, El arte de contar: WB 27 & 28 - El preterito & the life of Jules Verne. Be sure you know the meanings of the verbs given in the box at the top of page WB27.

2. We shared our "cuentitos" written on WB26 - Act. 1-2.

3. El pretérito = we practiced the common irregulars of the preterite with two different versions of a song to "La cucaracha". One on You Tube - see the post just before this one for the link, and another one (HANDOUT)where the verbs that share a common stem-change are grouped together.

4. La abeja haragana: We reviewed the story by going over the comprehension questions from both parts (#'s 1-22). Be very familiar with this story - it WILL be on our LESSON TEST next week.

5. Las leyendas aztecas: The class was divided into 4 "specialist" groups - each one given a different legend to read together and learn well for tomorrow's class.
Las leyendas: Tláloc, Huitzilopochtli, Quezalcoatl, Popocatépetl

Tarea:
1. OUTLINE your legend to help you tell it to a new group tomorrow. Be ready to tell the important details of your legend but DON'T memorize it NOR plan on reading it to the new group.

2. Find your 3 jokes (in good taste)that are "juegos de palabras" to have ready for class on Friday. I suggest you DON'T print the first 3 you find - most likely others will also have these same jokes.

3. Remember the "Tiny Tigers" will be coming to our room on Friday for Trick or Treats if you would like to bring something for them.
