Spanish 1

I can

• Listen to unfamiliar Spanish and pick out familiar words

After a review including a worksheet for two classes that didn't get to it yesterday, students took the AR verbs quiz. We then listened to Spanish versions of popular songs and tried to pick out familiar words.

Homework: Write what you do in each class using AR verbs; however, don't use "me gusta."

Spanish 2

I can

• Name several Spanish-speaking countries and use nationalities for them in Spanish
• Recognize common Hispanic names

During a El Mundo Hispano presentation, students took notes on Spanish-speaking countries, capitals, and nationalities. We did activity 11 in the book to practice this vocabulary. Using lists of common Hispanic names, students in third block made name tents with chosen names and used the questions from the Actividal Oral worksheet to answer with this new information.

Homework: Choose one of the following and prepare for the first notebook check tomorrow.

1) Go to ifitweremyhome.com and compare the US with three Spanish-speaking countries. Write down the results of the one that surprised you the most.

2) Choose two Spanish-speaking countries to briefly research and make a Venn diagram. Compare and contrast information about them, such as main ingredients in food, type of government, etc.
