Class Activities: 

Students wrote a postcard to someone from Argentina and some shared their postcards when they finished.

Palabra del día: muñeco de nieve

Students had 30 seconds to look at a bunch of school supplies and then had to write down everything they remembered (learning some new vocabulary)

Students worked in pairs practicing the present progressive by acting things out:

¿Qué estoy haciendo?
Estás escribiendo.

Tarea: students get to do a self-guided project about anything related to Argentina (architecture, regions, food, music, art) and can work alone or in pairs. They need to write a brief paragraph in Spanish about their plan for their project, expanding on their original idea a bit. Next class we will have time to work on the project.
