Español IV
29 de octubre de 2009

1. Los colmos y los tantanes - Classic word play jokes in Spanish - modeling what students should bring for class tomorrow. Still need to find appropriate jokes in Spanish? Here is a site that advertises all jokes are " chistes sanos" - apropiados para la clase. Some of them are still NOT in the greatest of taste - let's NOT go for the potty jokes. However, each of these jokes does comes from a collection of a similar theme, which you can access by "hacer clic" on the blue title, like "Novios".

2. El pretérito:
(A)Partner practice with:
(1) questions using -car, -gar, -zar verbs - some new ones!
(2) Grouped Irregular Preterites - Flashcard sentences.
(B) Whole class = the TWO versions of LA CUCARACHA Irregular Preterite Song.

Period 4: Reviewed the "Estructuras" exercise AND the practice comprehension questions about La abeja haragana.

Both classes worked on Las leyendas: New teams made up 4 - each member representing a different legend. Each individual taught their legend to their team mates who could take notes. Then everyone had the opportunity to complete their set of the Four LEGENDS to use for homework tonight, and to study from for next week's lesson test.

TAREA:
1. Write a TOTAL of EIGHT comprehension questions in Spanish about the LEGENDS: 2 Questions (and answers) for EACH legend.
2. Print out, or write out, THREE jokes in Spanish that incorporate a pun/juego de palabra AND are appropriate for the classroom. (No chistes verdes, por fa)
3. Bring TREATS, if you'd like, to give to the TIGRITOS - Tiny Tigers - as they come Trick or Treating to our class.
4. Bring wrapped candy to use in our games tomorrow.
