Enjoy Break!!!

Like I said in class today/yesterday....you all did a fabulous job writing complex subjunctive sentences about Sweet 15. Frankly, I plan to save them and use the as models for future students. You worked very hard over the last week+. Each of you made many mistakes, but you also continually improved your writing and sentence structure, in most cases nearly to the point of "perfection." I am really proud of your efforts! I hope you have a great break. No homework in Spanish! Well, no formal homework, but if you get the urge or want to keep the flame lit, take a minute or two over break to listen to a song in Spanish or tune into channel 18 (often called the "Spanish Cannel," but really called Univision) or text a friend in Spanish or anything else you can imagine. !Disfruten!

Another reminder....your final edits and sentences must be done electronically BEFORE class tomorrow.

Observations on Spanish 3 Food Presentations

I have to say, this has been an impressive and enjoyable week so far. Obviously, food is fun to eat, but what has struck me the most so far is the diversity, authenticity and quality of the food, and on top of that, the detail in your presentations has been simply wonderful. I am particularly impressed with your use of direct object pronouns combined with affirmative and negative commands. Way to push and go above and beyond!

SP3 Homework for Columbus Day Weekend

OK, let's keep reviewing. So sometime over the weekend take a look at the second half of the 100 most common Spanish verbs. Pick 5 verbs that you are NOT so familiar with and click to the right of the verb, where is say something like "pagar conjugations," or whatever verb you picked. Take a look at the conjugations. You should see that the verb is pretty normal in the future and imperfect tenses. Now, for each of the 5 verbs, determine what "category" of verb you would consider it in the present and preterite tenses. By category I mean like boot, irregular, etc. for the present and things like UV, Jotas, -car verbs, etc. for the preterite. If you what to do this for more than 5 verbs, go for it! (Remember what I said at the end of class, this is not a graded assignment, but you still need to do it to keep up.)

Finally, there is my explaination of how to create questions. Check it out.... SMART Lesson, September 14, Block 6.

For Thursday: To prepare for Thursday's class, please review the present and preterite tenses again. In addition, please review the imperfect and future tense verb conjugations.

For Monday: If you want to get started on the homework for Monday, this is the verb table you'll need to complete.

Requirements for Food Presentation

On the night before your presentation, prepare your dish. Include the following in your presentation. You may use notes, but don't read the whole thing.

• name of dish

Review food vocab flashcards by going to www.glencoe.com and entering Quick Pass code ASD7837c4. Practice the vocab one flash cards for chapter 4.

• Food vocab 2

Food Unit

We are starting a two week unit revolving around food today. Much of what you will learn will come from chapter 4 in your book. You'll learn tons of food vocabulary. You'll learn how to read recipes and describe how you prepared some dish. You'll learn to order in a restaurant. Oh, and you'll eat food! You'll have three assessments in this unit. The first will be a presentation which looks like this. For the second one you'll role play a scene in a restaurant. You'll be assessed on your oral skills. The final major assessment will looks something like this.

Homework

Due to the assembly on Monday our next class isn't until Tuesday. Between now and then, read over this explaination of what I presented today and then do this "quiz."

Indirect Object Pronoun Quiz

Indirect Object Pronoun Mini-Assessment

Part 1: Write the pronoun that represents the following (me, te, le, nos, les)

1. to them
2. for her
3. to you (singular informal/familiar)
4. to me
5. for you all (plural you)
6. for Maria and me
7. to my parents

Part 2: Write the following sentences with dar or comprar (present tense: doy/o, as, a, amos, an).

1. She gives you food.
2. I buy books for him.
3. They give me money (dinero).
4. He buy her flowers (flores).

Mini Assessment Tomorrow

So we'll have a mini assessment on indirect object pronouns tomorrow. If you look in your packet right after the last questions we did in class today (the ones with the pictures with stick figures), you will see a "quiz." I think it is called Quiz 41. Anyhow, your assessment tomorrow will be along the lines of Quiz 41. Check it out, not to hard.

Assembly on Monday

This coming Monday Admin will hold the Courage to Speak Foundation assembly for all students in grades 10 and 11. We'll all go as a class. Please report to class, then we'll go.

Homework for Thursday March 29

In the big indirect object pronoun packet that I gave you, complete all questions 104-109. Take the time to read up on indirect objects here: http://bit.ly/GWpTdU.

Take a Quick Read

I graded your essays today. They were better than we all expected. As I have been saying all along, you need to self-motivate to check this site, practice on your own, plan ahead, etc. My expectations for writing and speaking increase greatly as the course progresses. Anyhow, as I said today in class we'll move through this mini-unit on indirect object pronouns quickly. I had planned to have you do a mini-assessment on IOs on Monday, but I just found out that they have scheduled an assembly during block 2 on Monday. I want to get this assessment in before the end of the quarter (Monday), so we'll have to move it to this Friday. Take the time to read up on indirect objects tonight or tomorrow night here: http://bit.ly/GWpTdU.

Homework for Wednesday March 28

In the big indirect object pronoun packet that I gave you, complete all questions up to 53 and then do ALL of Quiz 40.

Major Assessment on Monday

There will be a major assessment on Monday. In class you'll have to finish a story about a trip on a train: no notes, no partners, preterite, irregular preterite, time frame words, reflexive verbs, train vocab, etc. Start reviewing.

Spanish II Update

Nice job on the videos today. We'll be starting chapter 2 tomorrow. Look over the vocab and review the grammar packet that I gave you last Friday.

Block 2 Sub Plan for Friday, Feb 17

Hi guys. Nice job on your assessments yesterday. We'll finish up editing videos on Tuesday. You will be given a rather large grammar review packet. In it is essential, basic grammar rules. Much of it you learned last year and some is new to you. You all were saying that you seemed to be lacking some of the basics to putting sentences together in Spanish. Understanding the grammar in this packet will REALLY help you. So, what I want you to do is to read through the entire packet. I want you to write in it. Think about what you understand or don't understand. Think about new topics that appear that you would like to learn more about. While your are technically just reading and taking notes, this activity requires MUCH THOUGHT to be of lasting value. Please make your effort today the best it can be. If you do, I promise you, understanding all of that stuff will take you miles in Spanish! Good luck and enjoy your long weekend!!!

Friday Feb 17

I'll be out of school tomorrow, Friday, for a More Than Words workshop. We'll start a new unit (chapter 2) on Tuesday. Enjoy the long weekend.

First Major Assessment Tomorrow

Study, study, study tonight as we'll do our first big assessment in class tomorrow. Reminder it is closed book and the sample assessment which is similar to the one you will do tomorrow was posted here.

Homework for the Weekend

Some of you still seem rusty with the new vocabulary. Look over the packet I gave you or chapter 1 of your book. Have someone quiz you on the vocabulary. Alternatively, you could do the online flashcards on the glencoe.com site. The QuickPass code is ASD7837c1. Review the present progressive tense. Finally, it can't hurt to review the vocab from Spanish I that I gave you at the beginning of the course. Enjoy the weekend.
