El enojo - lectura, página 126: Working with a partner, students read the article about how to deal with anger in a positive way. Then they asked/answered follow-up questions and completed a +/- chart about positives/negatives of anger. We followed up with a whole class debrief.

Tareas: corrected WB 70 & 71 - Activities 8 & 9, practicing using the vocabulary in context and the position of certain adjectives and how it can change their meaning. See text page 129. Period 4 also reviewed A.27, pg. 129-130 from yesterday.

Los participios pasados y el presente perfecto: See pp. 132-134 + NEW PACKET: Los participios. Reviewed: Compound verbs, present and past participles. Then focused on specific uses of past participles as ADJECTIVES with Ser & Estar AND as a VERB when used with HABER. Practiced both the Present Perfect and the Pluperfect.

Proyectos: Continued with more "Mi escudo" presentations - period 1. We'll really have to catch-up in period 4 tomorrow!
