Spanish 3/4:

Song Challenge day.

We learned a new song called "Sal, Sal Si Puedes" Treat this song like a text book because it has all the irregular command forms in it and it's purpose is to help you memorize them.

Salir=sal, Ir(se)=ve(te), Hacer=haz, Venir=ven, ser=sé, tener=ten, Decir=di, poner=pon.

Activities:

Each group got 13 strips of paper with the lines from the songs. The first challenge was trying to use what you knew as a group to put the song together in the correct order.

Next I played the song once and then each group had to put the song in the correct order.

Then the groups had to translate the song on a piece of paper in 5 minutes. Then each student wrote the words they didn't understand above the words on the song paper that I gave you.

We then sang the song two times through.

If you were gone you need to get the song and find someone to help you tranlate and write the words you didn't understand above the words in the song. Make sure you are showing me this at a propper time.

Spanish 2:

As a class we worked on listening comprehension and speaking fluency as well as recognizing subtle changes in structure and their impact on the meaning of the sentence and how the answer will change due to the change in structure.

For example: ¿Dónde puedes comprar libros? ¿Compraste libros? ¿Dónde compraste tus libros? ¿Por qué compraste los libros? ¿Cuándo compraste los libros? ¿Qué hiciste en la libería? ¿Por qué fuiste a la libreria? ¿Qué hiciste cuando fuiste a la librería? etc.

Then all period, except 2nd, actually had to interview me and ask those questions.

Only second period got to the dart challenge. Tomorrow all other classes will do the dart challenge while period two does the question portion of the speaking activity.

If you were gone you need to take the example questions and write them out. Answer them in complete sentences in Spanish. Make sure you use direct object pronouns (lo, la, los, las) when necessary. Then translate both your questions and your answers to English.
