Spanish 3/4:
Copied down the endings for all the tenses we are studying.
Played the dart board game again. This time it went much better.
If you were gone you need to schedule a time to come see me and do this activity.

Challenge: King of the hill. We focused on past tense endings. The challenge was about 20 minute with the group and then 20 minutes individual with the rest of the time explaining and teaching concepts as we went.
If you were gone you need to schedule a time to see me and make up the activity.

Spanish 3/4:
Late start due to the fire "drill."
Challenge using the verb/tense chart and the pictures. I said different tenses of the verbs we are studying and we tried to begin to hear the differences in meaning as we used them.
If you were gone you need to come do this activity with me outside of class time.
Spanish 2:
Pop quiz-make up if gone. (on asking for directions from the plaza) 22 points.
Corrected quiz.
Challenge: Went through the dialogue as a class. We all participated in the dialogue. I would call out a persons name to continue from where the last person left off. If they got it wrong then they would sit down and then follow along silently.
To make up the challenge you must write out the dialogue for three different places. Make sure you repeat the given directions, but don't use the command form.

el 4 de febrero.
Spanish 3/4:
Showed pictures that represent the new verbs.
Went over the chart of verbs from yesterday. Assigned a new chart for the same verbs. This time we are focusing on the "tú" form.
Played the flyswatter game with the pictures as a challenge.
If you were gone you need to get a new form and turn the old chart in to me.
Spanish 2:
Began class with a group challenge. We worked on the dialogue. I was person A and the group was person B. I began the conversation and the group had to huddle together and answer back in unison. We continued through the dialogue in this fashion and went through all four groups.
Then we got a partner and lined up facing each other. Looked kind of like a gauntlet. You would have the conversation with you partner then we would rotate after a minute or two. Each person got to be person A and B many times during this activity.
Then we prepared for a challenge tomorrow. Using the Popsicle sticks, we began the conversation. Everyone had to follow along because I would call a new name out at any point during the conversation, and that person had to pick up right where the other left off.
Tomorrow you will be out if you are not up to speed and have to write down everything people are saying.
If you were gone you need to schedule a time to make these activities up with me. (on my calendar)

Spanish 3/4:
Challenge due tomorrow. We put all the verbs into the "yo" form for the following tenses (except with the command form (tú). This is a "big picture" activity. We will break it back down and work on the individual parts throughout the rest of the year.
Presente
Pretérito
Imperfecto
Pregresivo
Futuro
Condicional
Perfecto de indicativo
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.

Spanish 3/4:
Worked on the rough draft of the essay. Body is due tomorrow.
Spanish 2:
Quiz - Make up if you were gone. Worth 36 points.
Two options: 1. Finished homework and turned in. 2. Got the translation packet for Napoleon. Highlighted all the words and phrases that were not understood from 1-38 and then translated.
