El español II – el 19 de septiembre de 2012

1.      Poemas en diamante - Chapter project, page 13.  Students warmed-up by sharing with their seat partner, then we organized into groups of 4.  Everyone presented in their group, then selected 1 person to share their poem with the class, using the document camera.

2.      Repaso – Prueba #1: Personal, descriptive adjectives and the verb SER (to be).  I reviewed the corrections on last week’s test and coached the students in test-taking techniques.

3.      How to Study for Success in Spanish Class – I shared study techniques and tips with the students.  Handout coming home tonight for parent’s signature.

4.      Verb practice – first we practiced the meanings of the infinitives for the chapter (see page 9). We took a practice “self-test” – demonstrating one way students could practice at home.  Then we used the verbs in sentences including the TIME EXPRESSIONS from page 10.

5.      Block 2 = partner questions/answers using the verbs; Block 3 played the Lotería –AR verb game.
Tarea:
1. Write 10 sentences on the verb game handout: Communication Activity P-2.  5 sentences for Juego Uno – What you always or often do – including the frequency time expressions from page 10. 5 sentences for Juego Dos – What you sometimes or never do.
2.  Read over the Spanish Study Skills handout and have one of your parents sign it.  Turn it in by Friday.
