Warm-up: Written answers to 5 of the "20 Most Commonly Asked Questions in Job Interviews" - back of vocabulary handout. We reviewed our answers together and strategized how to respond effectively in an interview. (Both 1st & 4th Blocks)

Homework correction = Reviewed professions, Conocer versus Saber, the Passive Voice for Classified Ads. (1st Block)

Definiciones - Reviewed the words on our Pared de Palabras with games:
1st Block: "Estoy pensando en una palabra" - using our written definitions others guessed at the intended meaning.
4th Block: Alphabet Ball - filling-in the big Pared de Palabras

Curriculum Vitae: Reviewed WHAT questions would elicit that information from another person. Students then started their partner interviews to do just that = complete one side of their CV Handout with their partner's information. If need be, they can call each other, to complete outside of class.
TRIVIA: ¿Qué es otro termino en español por un "Curriculum Vitae"?

Fourth Block didn't really get started until 25 minutes into the period due to the OUS College Fair - I showed the rest of ELOISE for the few who were there at the start of class, and it continued as students filtered in.

Tarea:
1. Complete your partner conversation regarding their personal data on the Curriculum Vitae (C.V.)
2. Write a paragraph describing your partner incorporating the information you got from him/her on the C.V.
3. Complete the reverse of your CV Handout FOR YOURSELF as a rough draft of the one you'll have typed for Monday.
