1. Review activities - to get us ready for the test:
(A) Definite/Indefinite Articles: individual flash cards. I gave a "prompt" using one of the nouns we've learned up to now in English and the students confirmed its meaning in Spanish. Then I held up a flashcard of that noun and said along either "a / an" or "the". The students then held up the appropriate article for the given noun.
(B) Dedos - like "Twister" only with your ten fingers on a single sheet of paper and playing against your seat partner. The paper is gridded and each square has a separate vocabulary item. Which ever partner places his/her finger on the requested word first wins the square...BUT to keep it, s/he has to keep a finger on the square as the game progresses.
(C) Subject Pronouns and the forms of SER - like the "Rowdy Review" we played yesterday - which partner can find and circle the word first?
(D) Homework corrections - WAVA packet pp. 27 & 28: Putting it all together!

2. Took Lesson 1B Exam. This took the rest of the class period.

TAREA - I recommend you go to Japan Night tonight in the commons from 5:30 to 8:00. There's FOOD, FUN cultural activities AND it's FREE!
