1. Read the "poster" in the book, "Cuánto dura la basura?" - page 48 - aloud with a partner. Then each partner pair wrote comprehension questions & their answers based on the reading. Last step: Paired up with another set of partners and then one set of partners posed their questions to the other set of partners to see if they knew the answers.

2. Homework corrections/review: Added vocabulary + Tarea de Repaso - partes I (Ser, Estar, o Haber) & II (Vocabulario en contexto).

3. Reviewed corrections from part one of last week's exam - recognition of when to use the preterite or the imperfect.

4. I introduced the homework/project for Monday & Tuesday, based on 2-6, page 48: Find an environmental problem about which you can speak passionately - be sure to do appropriate research to support your statements.
For Monday = Create a small(81/2" X 11") poster (cartel). Your cartel should have graphic "punch" and very few words. However, it should communicate the problem and motivate us to want to act to effect a change for the better.
For Tuesday = Have ready a SHORT talk (paragraph) the briefly states the problem and persuades us to change to improve the problem. Be ready to answer varied questions about your topic AND to ask INTELLIGENT, LOGICAL, FOLLOW-UP questions to the other presenters.

5. Continued with our childhood presentations.

1. Cartel - see above: item #4.
2. Future/Conditional Packet - Exercise B.
3. Finish the "Tarea de repaso" = Sentences.
