1. Practice quizzes
(A) Vocabulary in context: Comparing the masterpieces of Valezquez and Dalí. I showed the class these paintings before they started writing. Then they had to pick up the contextual cues to complete the writings about art using the vocabulary in Lesson 2A.
(B) Estar + past participles as adjectives = similar to the vocabulary test in that students had to pull the cues from the reading to determine (1)which is the verb (2) which is the object (3) how to convert the verb to it's past participle adjective and (4) how to modify the ending of the adjective to make it agree with the object.

We went over these "quizzes" and I encouraged students to take notes on them and use them to study from for TOMORROW'S LESSON 2A TEST.

2. White Board Review: Working with a partner, and using the sentences the students had written, students took turns writing out sentences in Spanish incorporating the vocabulary on page 104.
Once done writing, I wrote out the answers for the students to verify theirs.

3. We practiced the students' "Hall names" and "Class names" - in preparation of tomorrow's NAMES QUIZ.

4. I reminded the students to BRING THEIR HALL PASSES tomorrow to turn-in for possible bonus points.
