Español II
el 28 de septiembre de 2010

1. Warm-up: Repaso - los meses y las estaciones del año: We learned/or reviewed a poem used in Spanish I - set to the turn of Oh, Clementine! that includes all of the months of the year AND weather terms, as well as other topical vocabulary.
Took notes over the seasons of the year, too.
Trivia - What is the correct word in Spanish for a sports or produce "season"?

2. Review: Gustar - students answered m/c questions in Spanish on a personal survey about their preferences. Then partnered with a classmate and asked/answered these questions with one another. Next we debriefed together as a whole class. Finally students took notes over how this special type of verb works AND other verbs that are similiar.

3. I credited last night's flashcards. I also collected pages 1-4 of the workbook AND the gold WAVA packet from Para empezar.

4. Activity 1, textbook page 14: Mini-lesson previewing 1A - review of school vocabulary. Students wrote a paragraph about a particular class, using the prompts in the exercise and the vocabulary organized in the graphic at the top of the page.

5. Our poem "estrellas" from yesterday presented their poems to the class - what fun to see their nicely done visuals and learn more about them through their poems. ¡Gracias, amigos!

6. Text page 15 -"Yo-go" verbs + HANDOUT = verb grid. We started the grids for FIVE (5) common verbs whose Yo form adds a g: Traer, Tener, Hacer, Poner, and Venir (not in the book but it fits in this group so I added it in.)We filled in the verbs' meanings and their first 3 conjugations. I gave the forms for Venir: vengo, vienes, viene, venimos, venís, vienen.

Tarea:
1. Complete the verb grid started in class - ONLY for the FIVE verbs given (see #6 above)
2. Write out BOTH parts of page 5 in your workbook, using the vocabulary you used last night for making your flashcards.
