Spanish II:

1. Translation with a partner a dialog between a store clerk and you.

C: Hello, can I help you?
Y: Yes, I need some new shoes.
C: These black shoes fit you well.
Y: No, I want those pink shoes. How much do they cost?
C: They cost twenty dollars.
Y: I want them.

2. Used Popsicle sticks to randomly select students to help with the translation.

3. First period needed some extra help so the got whiteboards and we did some work with the same concept really slowing it down and using a variety of examples of the structures found in the translation and yesterdays activity.

4. The rest of the Spanish II classes didn't need that activity, so I showed them how to use the blog to get extra credit and make up work. Find the link on the side of the blog titled, "cosas buenas" and see what there is to do.

If you were gone you need to do the translation activity to make up the points.

Spanish III/IV:

1. Antes de/después de followed by infinitve…used in speech in a variety of tenses.

2. Small groups of three Q and A. One person asked the questions, another person answered them, and the third person was listening to see if it was said correctly.

3. Changed groups of three and did an activity called "dime más"

a. Dime más (tell me more) Groups of three, student tells the story and one transcribes what is being said word for word, and the other encourages the story to continue by saying “dime más.” Rotate so all have a chance to do each job.

4. Class story: We didn't add to them, we broke into our groups to revise the last three parts and correct the Spanish.

If you were gone you need to schedule a time on the calendar to make up "dime más" with me.
