Mandato Afirmativo (tú)

Apagar-to turn off, proteger-to protect, recoger-to pick up, Conservar-to conserve, reducir, to reduce, separar-to separate, usar-to use, saber-to know, decir-to say, montar-to ride, salvar-to save, formar-to form, poner-to put, place, set, hacer-to do or to make, reciclar-to recycle, valer-to be worth.

If you were gone you need to get this done. We used computers and books to complete this activity.

Spanish 2:

Looked at final project grades and final grades for the semester.

Created a dialogue as a class. We were supposing that we were in a plaza in Santiago Chile and we were the only ones who spoke English and the rest spoke Spanish. This is what we came up with. A key point to remember is that we can never control what they will say to you, but we can control what we know how to say.

You: Perdón señor, señora, señorita. (¿Me puedes ayudar?)
Chilean: Sí (????)
You: ¿Dónde queda el correo?
Chilean: Queda a más o menos cuatro cuadras de la plaza?
You: ¿Cómo llego?
Chilean: Sal de la plaza y dobla a la derecha. Sigue derecho por dos cuadras. Dobla a la izquierda y sique derecho por dos cuadras y media. El correo queda a la izquierda.
You: Así que...¿salgo de la plaza, doblo a la derecha, sigo derecho por dos cuadras, doblo a la izquierda, sigo derecho por dos cuadras y media y el correo queda a la izquierda?
Chilean: Sí/No (?????)
You: Gracias

We then practiced this with a partner using the map projects as our city to guide the dialogue.

If you were gone you have to come in to do this with me after having scheduled a time on my calendar.
