Spanish II:

1. Got a paper with the following endings and then wrote 3 things on the back:

a. what kind of verb
b. What it means
c. Tense

Endings = a,b,c
o = a. ar, er, ir b. yo-I c. present
é = a. ar b. yo-I c. past
í = a. er, ir b. yo-I c. past
as = a. ar b. tú-you c. present
es = a. er, ir b. tú-you c. present
aste = a. ar b. tú-you c. past
iste = a. er, ir b. tú-you c. past
a = a. ar b. él-he, ella-she, usted-you, (it and who) c. present
e = a. er, ir b. él-he, ella-she, usted-you, (it and who) c. present
amos = a. ar b. nosotros(as)-we c. present (&past)
emos = a. er b. nosotros(as)-we c. present
imos = a. ir b. nosotros(as)-we c. present (&past)
an = a. ar b. ellos(as)-they, ustedes-you all c. present
en = a. er, ir b. ellos(as)-they, ustedes-you all c. present

2. Learned gestures for yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros(as), ellos(as), ustedes and also for past tense and present tense.

3. Began preparation for the next competition which was to watch me.
a. I would do a gesture to represent who was going to do the actions. Example: I would point to myself. Then you would know that we are going to be talking about "Yo"
b. Then I would do the gesture that represented an action. Example: I would do the gesture that represents the verb explorar.
c. Then I would gesture the tense. Example: past tense
d. Based on whether or not the verb was ar, er, or ir and the tense, you would then pick up the correct ending.
e. Then we would say it together as a class. No English was spoken yet we spoke Spanish.

4. For the classes that had time, we worked in small groups.

This will be the challenge on Monday.

If you were gone you need to get the endings, cut them out, then write the information on the back. You will learn the gestures from someone in class and then show me that you know them. You must prove to me that you can do this. You can do this before class and after class.

Spanish III/IV:

1. I will explain at the beginning of class. Make sure you get the make up sheet and fill it out as I explain.
