4. Read “El agujero” (“The hole”) with a partner and answer corresponding questions.

5. Participate in research study with an independent 10-12 minute reading and assessment. Your answers on the assessment do not affect your class grade, although they do impact the research, so please do your best.

Homework: Keep preparing yourself for next Tuesday’s test. Study our “pink packets.”

Español Dos (2):

Today’s Learning Objectives:

1. Do our “para empezar” warm-up. How well do you remember Spanish 1 vocabulary relevant to chapter three? Complete the first side of the handout. We will complete the back side tomorrow.

2. Listen to our new song: “Te amo.” Yes…we are listening to that song that you’ve requested a million times!

3. Review yesterday’s homework: 3-1 & 3-2 (+English translations).

4. Begin a writing/illustrating activity. Students first illustrate the left-hand side of an outfit, using 12 or more of our chapter 3 vocabulary words/phrases. Next, you write a 70-100 word Spanish description of the outfit, so that tomorrow your partner can read the description and correctly illustrate the right-hand side of the outfit (without looking at the left-hand side of the paper).

Homework: If you didn’t finish your illustration & composition in class, finish for tomorrow. If you don’t come prepared to class, you will not be taking part in the follow-up illustration activity.
