Más adjetivos!
Workbook page 1 - As we're awaiting the arrival of our workbooks, students copied, and then filled in the answers.  We reviewed:

1. Making plurals with nouns and adjectives.
2. Making adjectives "agree" with the nouns they describe
3. Meanings - we drilled the vocabulary from my Quia site for Para empezar.

SER - To be...or not to be?!
Workbook page 2 - students copied and then completed:

1. Subject pronouns & the forms of SER in a chart.
2. Wrote out sentences - Using given subjects, choosing correct form of SER & adjusting the given adjective as needed.

Homework Review:

1. Corrected Activity 3 - 8 sentences about celebrities: Played a guessing game 1st with a partner then all together as a class.
2. Activity 7 - Which form of SER?  Students read the description of friends and family of the writer first with a partner, then for the class - verifying their use of SER.

Geografía - The Spanish-Speaking World

1. Partner & Small Group Activity: How many of these countries can you name?  Do you know where they are located.
2. We reviewed all together.
3. Page 6 - textbook: Countries and Nationality Adjectives: We practiced pronunciation on these and I gave some spelling tips.  This first part of the list attached to the hotlink above also has the adjectives from page 6.
