Spanish II:
1. Class discussion on homework. Discussed history and process of an actual bullfight. Formed basic opinions of being for or against.
2. We discussed traditions for Christmas and learned that some people of weird traditions, and we realized as a class that until the tradition was explained fully, we had trouble understanding why it was done. For example: One student said that they ate meatloaf every Christmas. When the rest of the world eats ham or turkey, meatloaf is a "weird" or "different" tradition. It wasn't like we couldn't accept it, but it seemed strange. Once this student explained that this tradition began in the time around the great depression and world wars where money was scarce, and they couldn't afford anything fancy so they had meatloaf, we were able to not only understand it, but embrace it as something "cool." We then compared this to bullfighting. We need to understand the tradition behind it before we judge it. It is important to step outside of your own perspective and try to see through others eyes. As you learn this skill, then you will not only be more tolerant of others differences, but you will understand yourself better as well.
3. We watched the first part of the bullfighting video that had to do with the history and preparation of the bulls for the fight. It was accompanied by a study guide.
If you were gone you have to write about a unique (different from the majority) tradition your family has and tell why it would seem different to others, then explain why your family does that tradition. Do this on the blue homework makeup sheet on the note section. Then you need to get a study guide and schedule a time to watch the first part of the bull fighting video.
Spanish III:
1. Got with a partner and I put up pictures from a story and you guys just spoke Spanish, telling your own story using the pictures and adding details of your own.
2. We watched and sang two versions of "Burrito Sabanero" for old times sake.
3. We then listen to my new favorite Mexican band called Chetes. We listened to "Querer" and "Regresa" Don't forget your homework to continue listening to your song in preparation to present it sometime after the break.
If you were gone you need to come in and make up the speaking assignment with me. Schedule on the calendar.

Spanish III/IV:
23, 24:
1. Dart Board/Head to head challenge.
2. Wrote down the words. Will turn in when we finish the challenge.
If you were gone you need to create 20 mini sentences, like you see above with Spanish II, for each day you were absent. The only difference is I want you to use all of the tenses that we have on our cheat sheet. Only use the verbs for the chapter. Include the English and Spanish.
Example: I used to fight = Me peleaba
25:
1. Everyone got a different song from one of the following artists:
Eros Ramazzotti
Enrique Iglesias
Ricky Martin
Laura Pausini
Ella Baila Sola
Luis Miguel
2. We used one song to underline every verb and then write above them what it said. To do this you had to understand the stem of the verb and then the ending. So if it said amaré, you would first have to know that amar means to love. Then you would have to recognize that the whole infinitive is there making it either future or conditional tense. Then look at the ending to know that it is future and I. You would write above the verb...I will love.
3. You will spend a the two weeks getting to know your song. You need to be able to sing it without the words in front of you and you have to know what every single word means. You will be presenting to the class before the holiday break. I would suggest you tube, but if you can't find it, come and get help from me. If all else fails I can make you a CD with the song on it.
If you were gone, make sure to pick up a song and underline every verb in every possible form of the verb (not noun) and then write the English translation above.
