Español III el 25 de mayo de 2011

Precaliento:
1. Read "El español en el trabajo" aloud with a partner - re: the first bilingual counselor in the US, and then we compared this to the counselors in our school. We have 3 Spanish-English bilingual counselors/community liaisons.

El subjuntivo:
2. Cuadrícula: made a verb grid of all of the examples of the various forms of the subjunctive using the examples on pages 132, 135 and 137 = Great study tool for tomorrow's test (too subtle?)
3. Partner practice: Verb drills & Activities 38 & 39 = practicing stem-changers in the subjunctive.
4. Homework review: Activities 33 & 34

El proyecto - los artículos sobre la salud:
1. We organized and stapled our packets: Cover page (grading sheet); typed summary; 5 discussion questions; article with web address.
2. Got into groups of 4 - for recorded orals. Each group got a recorder and filled-in a sheet with the members of the group and a check-off column indicating if s/he has presented, the number of their recorder, the name of their file on the recorder. This paper was returned with the group's recorder at the end of the session. Every group finished at least one presenter - some groups did two.

Tarea:
1. Handout: Translation practice sentences that require the subjunctive.
2. STUDY for subjunctive conjugation test tomorrow.
