Historias: prueba

Submitted by Nikki on

Class Activities: 

We played a quick game at the beginning of class to practice our conjugations.

Students took quiz about our story unit, including conjugating and using correctly the preterite and imperfect past.

Students answered question below:

¿Qué quieres hacer antes del fin del año en nuestra clase de español? Vamos a practicar conversaciones – qué conversaciones quieres practicar?

Remaining students presented their poster about when they were young.

Tarea: For students who have handed in their rough draft of their story (with final illustrations), there is no homework. There is a group that still hasn't gotten their story which they should email to me as soon as possible.

Las historias: presentaciones y repaso

Class Activities: 

Students completed this worksheet about preterite and imperfect verbs and we went over it. I reminded students that routines in past are imperfect (we always went skiing, we went every week, they traveled every summer).

Students handed in their homework -- rough draft and final pictures for their book. I will hand back corrections on Thursday and students need to hand in final draft for next Tuesday.

Students presented their text and picture they had written about Cuando era niño. Students listened and answered questions about each student.

Tarea: we're having a brief quiz about our story unit, including preterite and imperfect verbs (including irregulars). Students should also know things like "once upon a time" and "they lived happily ever after".
