1. Partner Oral Activity (CUP #1) ¿Qué hace Clara/Pedro los martes? Partners shared information about their students orally with one another, then wrote out the answers. Finally, we reviewed them all together.

2. HOW long have you been ...ing? = See page 58.
a. NOTES over expressing this notion in Spanish.
We literally say, "It (now) makes _an expression of an amount of _ that someone is doing something".
The formula is:
Hace + time expression + que + subject and verb.
b. We read through the Gramática explanation box at the top of page 58.
c. We practiced by writing Actividad 18, and then went over it together.

3. Review/Corrections of Vocabulary Test:
a. Students cleared everything off their desks - NO writing utensils NOR papers. Then I distributed yesterday's VOCABULARY TEST 1B, Highlighters and RED PENS.
b. We went over the answers and how to correct them - each student correcting his/her own test: HIGHLIGHTING errors and then writing corrections to the side.
c. Next, using their vocabulary list 1B, students highlighted the words they need to work on.

a. STUDY SYSTEM:Fan Folds = Make 6=8 columns across the width of the page.
