I. We started our NEW LESSON - Capítulo 3B.
(a) We talked about the photos and painting of markets and the goals of the lesson on pages 146-147.
(b) Practiced our new vocabulary in context listening and reading pages 148-149, doing the active listening exercises on page 149.
(c) Read the Video Historia, while listening to it, on pages 150-151. We'll watch this tomorrow.
(d) Practiced pronunciation of the new vocabulary using large flashcards.
(e) We traded our homework fill-in vocabulary lists with a partner and our partners checked our spelling against the list on page 168 - just underlining where we misspelled something.
(f)I also distributed a NEW VOCABULARY and Lesson Review HANDOUT - include a Quia vocabulary on-line games site.

II. Geografía:
(a) Working with a new partner, students brainstormed all of the Spanish-speaking countries they could think of. Then they worked with another pair and the four of them added to their lists. Last we worked together to complete the countries per regions of the world. Many students were surprised to learn there is a Spanish-speaking country in Africa.
(b) New packet - Lyrics to the Capital Raps Songs - Countries and capital cities of the Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas. We sang along to the rap about Mexico, Central America and the Carribean - and some sort of danced in their seats!
(c) We started our movie about South America - visiting Chile.
