Español I
el 22 de abril de 2010

1. Warm-up: Vocabulary practice - labeling the items numbered in the drawing of a classroom. See workbook page 40.

2. Partner Vocabulary game - El vocabulario revuelto (see handouts): Which partner can recognize the word and find it on the page with scattered vocabulary written all over it? The kids had a lot of fun with this, and did a good job practicing their new words. I enjoyed it, too!

3. ESTAR - see page 107, in your textbook. We practiced all 6 forms of the verb, and read the information about it - How and WHEN to use it. We also watched the Gram Activa DVD and then wrote out Actividad 9, page 107, filling-in the forms of ESTAR. Everyone wrote out the whole conversation to practice Spanish punctuation - How good are you at writing the "upside down" question and exclamation marks?

4. Prepositions of place - words that say WHERE something IS LOCATED in relationship to something else. We practiced the words AND them did several practices of the POEM we have to KNOW for TOMORROW. The gestures really seem to help us remember the words! Don't forget you have the picture handout BUT the we've changed the words and gestures for Word & photo #3 (Delante - out/ Al lado - in).
In case you need it, HERE'S the POEM:
Izquierda, derecha
Al lado, detrás
Cerca, y lejos
Y algo más.
Abajo, arriba,
enfrente, encima,
Y ahora, muchachos,
Se acaba la rima.

5. I demonstrated how to make a cover for your text book - those who brought paper grocery bags made theirs along with my demonstration.

Al fin! - JUEGOS Mañana - We filled our botella!
