Guiding Question: What would language be without the past tense
Learning Objectives: TSW (the student will) be able to tell time in the past and review the verbs levantarse, ponerse, and ser in the past
We began class with some discussion using the phrases me levante, te levantaste, and se levanto with the descriptors temprano (early) and tarde (late). Then we transitioned to telling time in the past Que hora era cuando te levantaste?, Era las 5, etc.
We watched a quick newstory from MSNBC on the Chilean miners that we have been following and we were excited to see that they are about to be rescued.
We retold our story from Thursday while Sra. Rivera wrote the story in Spanish on the projector for all to see the words and hear the words. Nick Rossi translated for our visitor Srta. Smith (Sra. Rivera's little sister :))
We read together the last 3 pages of Cap. 3 and then took a reading assessment over all the vocab we used in class. For the first time, our vocab was mixed from the story tell, class discussion, and the reading. We ran out of time due to the shortened Monday schedule.

ReplyDelete1. It helps us use the vocabulary and it feels more familiar listening to it through speech.
2.yes
3.That the stories are hard to remember because we only have class every other day
4.write the story down and put in on the blog
1. I like story telling because it's a good way to re-learn and reinforce the vocab that we've gone over.
ReplyDelete2. YES
3. Sometimes the stories can be confusing, and hard to remember after only doing the story once in a class period.
4. I think that it would help if we made a vocab list of all the words we'd be using first and write down the meanings then do the story, it would be easier to remember.
