VOCABULARY BUILDING PACKET / SIX PAGES /30 POINTS

TIME FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

MARCH 12 AND 13

TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL 
STATE!!














QUIZ TODAY: SER AND (E)STAR WARS......30 POINTS!!

Group work: Using a sheet of four comics that I distributed, your group is to write a caption for as many of them as you choose. You may earn 1 - 5 extra credits points for the best caption. This is an exercise in translation/illustrating that slang and plays on words do not translate from one language to another. Example: the one with the pig in the bed looking at the doctor: -Doc, how did you get here so fast? - I rode in the hambulance. In Spanish  that is monto en la ambulancia de jamon. And that, mis chicas, is NOT funny.

And we finished with a puzzle/dictionary sheet on the bathroom..43 words ranging from the shower and soap to nail file and toilet paper!
And when we are finished with the words, you have an additional opportunity to earn four extra credit points.

NO HOMEWORK TODAY.(BUT YOU HAVE YOUR LONG TERM WRITING ASSESSMENT DUE).

February 28 and March 1

In your text: we went over the new vocabulary on pages 170 and 171. We did a number of exercises orally or on the board during class. Your homework on the vocabulary is exercises 18 and 20. In 18 you rewrite the entire paragraph filling in the blanks with information about where you live and what your house is like. In exercise 20 you have to do three things: you begin by writing the person in your house who each chore/ you then conjugate the verb according to the person or persons doing that chore/ you write how often that person does that chore by choosing one of the four options listed in bold print in the directions.

Review: the forms of estar on page 174 and the prepositions indicating location(we did these before when I arranged the pinatas and "critters" in the center of the class). For homework do exercise 23: rewrite the paragraph and fill in each blank with some form of estar. If you are in A DAY then you must also do exercise 24; we have done this before in class together.
