Español IV el 17 de octubre de 2011

Precaliento - Las 20 preguntas más comunes en las entrevistas: #s 6-10.
Students answered these questions while I checked off the rough drafts of their letters. Several students had already completed the final draft and organized their process paper packets, so I collected those for some extra credit.

Oral - I introduced how use the "Elements of a conversation" scoring grid, then divided the class into groups of 4. Next 2 people played out one of the work situations and the other two captured elements of their conversation: specialized vocabulary and questioning strategies.

Lectura: New article, "Herrimientas" - workplace skills - with a glossary to help with the reading.

Period 4: We reviewed the results of last Friday's vocabulary application test.

Tarea:
1. Final typed copy of Cover Letter.
2. Practice new vocabulary - see last Friday's blog for a link.
3. Practice for orals - run imaginary scenarios and come up with what you would say.
