Spanish 3/4:

Finished written test for Chapter one of la catrina.

Worked on summary of chapter two with a partner.

Reviewed accent/tilde rules (see Spanish two blog for the last couple of days for a reminder) with the command of reflexive verbs.

Challenge tomorrow on writing reflexive verbs.

Spanish 2:

Went over rule 1 and two for writting accents with command-dop syntax.

Went over hay que, vale la pena, para, al = all of them are followed by a verb in the infinitive form (no added ending). If we use a d.o.p. we attach it to the end of the infinitive.

Example: Hay que proteger el oso. Vale la pena protegerlo.

We then learned the command form for all irregular commands from the song "Sal, sal si puedes" We included actions for the commands.

salir=sal=leave!
ir=ve=go!
hacer=haz=do! make!
venir=ven=come!
ser=sé=be!
tener=ten=have! take!
decir=di=Say! Tell!
poner=pon=put! place! set!

Speaking activity using hay que, vale la pena, para, and al with a command form.

Example

Hay que proteger los animales. Vale la pena protegerlos porque están en peligro de extinción. Para protegerlos, hay que recoger la basura. Al recogerla los animales pueden vivir en un lugar limpio. !Protégelos! !Hazlo!

We then made our own protest sign for PETA following the model above. This is a prep for the poem you will be writing.
