Español IV
El 10 de septiembre de 2010
• Hoja extra: White handout of classroom expressions – students reviewed these with their seat partners while I checked-in homework.
• Repaso del alfabeto –1/2 sheet blue handout- reviewed the names of the letters and then practiced them by dictating our names to one another.
• Repaso de los números – pink 2-sided handout: practiced by dictating our phone numbers.
• Nombres en español para la clase – using my “names list” as a reference, students selected a latino name to use in class.
• Study Buddies: Students practiced spelling their classroom names and giving out their phone numbers with three students in class – ALSO, filling in the 3 black spaces on the “Bienvenidos a la clase de español” section of yesterday’s white 4-page (2-sided) handout.
• ENCUESTA – Using the 5 questions written in Spanish about the classroom expectations, students surveyed 3 other students to see how well they could answer their questions.
• Workbook Packet: I distributed these BIG packets – basic review AND expansion.
Students took some notes on the use of gender with nouns (el ---ma; el ---pa) and an on-line dictionary to check the gender of the animals on pg. WB3 (www.wordreference.com). On page WB3 - item #5: I also asked the students to change the continent adjective in the last sentence from africano to asiatico - because they are looking for an answer with “tigre” and they don't live in Africa!
• TEXTBOOK CHECKOUT: we went to the library and checked-out our text, Conexiones.
• Tarea:
1. STUDY and Complete exercises on Workbook pp.WB1-3.
a. PAY close ATTENTION to the items on the TOP of WB2.
b. P1 & P2 = use a definite article (The = el, la, los, las) OR and indefinite article (un, una, unos, unas)
c. Consider ANY new words as vocabulary.
2. Complete your "Encuesta" (survey using the 5 questions/homework) using your new Study Buddies, if necessary.
3. Cover your text for class: protect the edges, corners and spine of the book.
