2. Review prior to Para Empezar Exam:
(A) Reviewed nationality adjectives - debriefing the partner oral, De dónde es María. We used this to review the importance of matching the adjective to the gender & number of the noun described.
(B) Reviewed INTERROGATIVES - JUEGO! - Each student received a card with either a question or an answer and they had to find their match. Then we went through all of them in order to learn all sorts of things about José and his friends.

3. Took the Para Empezar Lesson Exam - this is the Spanish 1 review unit.

4. Geography - map "test" game: we went to this web site, selected South American Countries & Capitals and played it as a class on the Smart Board.
