El españo IV - el 07 de septiembre de 2012

1. Class procedures

• Speaking Spanish, students used their 5 questions to quiz each other about the course expectations
• I clarified with some of my own questions.
• Shared the "systems" set-up around the classroom - homework bulletin board, where to turn-in papers, sign-in/out procedures, etc.

2. Partner Orals

• Study Buddies/Compañeros de estudios - Exchanged names and phone numbers, in Spanish,with 3 other people.  I checked off homework while the students were circulating.
• Let's get to know each other - conversation with seat partner (green handout)
• We began presenting shortened versions of the partner conversation in front of the class. We'll continue this during next week.  

Tarea:
1. Make your own vocabulary list the from the Saludos y presentaciones box on  page 5.
2. Using the words from PAGE 4 - Write definitions in Spanish for 10 items. 
Example: Derecho = Es la área de concentración para una persona que quiere ser abogado.
See Exercise P-10 on page 7 for more examples - except that you won't do a "matching exercise".
