-é
-aste
-ó
-amos
-aron

I quizzed students to make sure they understand how conjugations work.
Using attached worksheet, we went to the computer lab and students had the chance to see art, hear music, watch speeches, read poems, and watch athletic ability of the famous Latin American and Spaniards we've been studying the last month+. Students wrote the name of the person and their observations/opinions about the person's art/athletic ability/music/etc.
Tarea: memorize verb conjugations for regular past tense verbs. We are going to have a test about famous latinos, past tense verbs, and adjectives that describe people on Friday, November 16th. Next class (11/14) we will do some review to prepare for test but if students practice their verbs and read through what they wrote when taking notes during student presentations about dead/alive Latin Americans/Spaniards.
