Awesome job, volunteers! Not only did you say the word correctly, your brain also put the stress on the correct syllable without you even realizing it. Keep up the good listening in class.

2. Listen to our song of the week: “Eres.”

3. Practice our gestures.

4. Receive a pink vocabulary list of the chapter two vocabulary. This list is a type of assessment for you. As we fill it out together, mark an “X” next to those vocabulary words that you didn’t already know. By and large, we already know the vast majority of the chapter two words. Please make flashcards for any words that you didn’t already know.

Homework: Review, review, review! Consider making flashcards for those words on the vocabulary list that you did not already know.

Español Dos (2):

Today’s Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss “stem-changing” verbs.

“Verbos de cambio radical”

En el presente, los verbos “de cambio radical” también se llaman “boot verbs.” Conjuga despertarse, vestirse y acostarse en el presente.

(e-->ie) DESPERTARSE (presente—CHANGE IN BOOT)

me despierto……………..nos despertamos………….

te despiertas…………………………………………..

se despierta……………….se despiertan

(o-->ue) ACOSTARSE (presente—CHANGE IN BOOT)

me acuesto………………..nos acostamos……………

te acuestas……………………………………………..

se acuesta………………….se acuestan……………….

(e-->i) VESTIRSE (presente—CHANGE IN BOOT)

me visto………………….nos vestimos………………

te vistes………………………………………………..

se viste……………………se visten………………….

INFORMACIÓN NUEVA: En el pretérito, los verbos “de cambio radical” no son “boot verbs.” De hecho (In fact), los verbos –AR y –ER no cambian (change). Sólo los verbos –IR cambian (change). Y los verbos –IR sólo cambian como (change as) “sandal verbs.” Además (In addition), sólo cambian (change) a la primera vocal (the first vowel).

(e-->ie) DESPERTARSE (pretérito—NO CHANGE)

me desperté………………..nos despertamos………….

te despertaste……………………………………………

se despertó…………………se despertaron…………….

(o-->ue) ACOSTARSE (pretérito—NO CHANGE)

me acosté…………………..nos acostamos……………

te acostaste……………………………………………..

se acostó….………………….se acostaron…………….

(e-->i) VESTIRSE (pretérito—CHANGE IN SANDAL)

me vestí………………….nos vestimos………………

te vestiste………………………………………………..

se vistió……………………se vistieron………………….

Uno más…conjuga dormir en el pretérito.

(Careful, it’s “dormir” not “dormirse.”)

dormí………………………dormimos…………………..

dormiste…………………………………………………..

durmió……………………..durmieron…………………..

2. Listen to our song of the week: “Eres.”

3. Play the Dice Game for reflexive verbs in the preterite tense. Careful with those stem-changers! -AR & -ER stem-changers DON’T change in the preterite. –IR stem-changers only change in the “sandal” and only change to the first vowel of the change. Review today’s warm-up for examples.

4. (4th & 5th periods only): Practice listening with some listening activities.

Homework: If you didn’t finish the Dice Game in class, please do so at home.
