Español Uno (1):

Today’s Learning Objectives:

1. Add some updated emotion words to our “¿Cómo estás? / ¿Cómo estabas?” face page.

--confundido/a (confused)
--sorprendido/a (surprised)
--enamorado/a (in love)

Quick discussion with the following questions:
--¿Estabas sorprendido que hoy haga sol?
--¿Estabas sorprendido que los Mariners ganaran?

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “Paces” by los Aterciopelados. Nice job catching the next three missing words: necesitamos, lo, otra.

WOW! I was impressed by how many of you could tell me how to say “I cleaned,” “Let’s make,” “peace,” “already,” and “I changed,” just from memory. You’re clearly doing a great job of following along with the lyrics in class and picking up extra high-frequency words.

3. Illustrate six scenes from yesterday’s story.

--Escena 1: Un día yo estaba en mi cama. Hacía tanto frío que me iba a congelar.
--Escena 2: Quería ponerme más ropa. Quería ponerme un suéter. Quería ponerme una sudadera. Quería ponerme unos guantes.
--Escena 3: Anduve al guardarropa y busqué ropa, pero no había ropa.
--Escena 4: Yo iba a ir a la cama, pero hacía tanto frío que me iba a congelar.
--Escena 5: Decidí ir al garaje. Busqué ropa allí.
--Escena 6: Vi mil cuatrocientos veintidós chaquetas. Me puse las chaquetas y estaba contento.

4. Practice retelling the story with a partner.

Homework: Using your illustrations, practice retelling the story aloud in the past, as well as the present. Can you change perspective (past-->present), which is a level 5 acquisition skill?
