Students completed the remaining part of the "quiz" about imperfect/preterite and we went over it as a class.
Students had a few minutes to study our verb conjugations. We learned the three irregulars in the imperfect:
ver: veía/veías/veía/veíamos/veían
ir: iba/ibas/iba/íbamos/iban
ser: era/eras/era/éramos/eran
Students competed in two teams to conjugate their verbs. If students struggled with conjugations, they should spend some more time at home practicing their verbs (and can always ask me if they have any questions!).
I asked students what a refrán is, and they explained it's a saying, like don't cry over spilled milk. Students shared a few:
A diario una manzana es cosa sana.
A beber y a tragar, que el mundo se va a acabar.
In pairs, students had a few minutes to come up with a skeleton of a story they are going to write using their refrain as a theme/lesson. Next week, students will write and illustrate their story.
Tarea: have skeleton of story to hand in. Also, students got their texts back: Cuando era niño/niña with corrections. They need to fix their corrections and bring their text and picture posted on a piece of construction paper (which they picked out in class) on Tuesday.
