martes, el veintitrés de marzo del dos mil diez

Español Uno (1):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Review our direct object pronouns (“it” & “them”), our –ar preterite verbs, and our personal pronouns.

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “Dímelo.” Nice job catching the first two missing phrases: me miras, nuestra.

Quick review of our possessive pronouns:
mi(s)…………………….nuestro/a(s)
tu(s)…………………………………………
su(s)……………………..su(s)…………

3. Practice telling spontaneous stories using class members’ illustrations.

Bits of advice for this week’s speaking assessment:
--NO English is allowed. If you accidentally say something in English, fix it and put it in Spanish.
--BRIEF hesitations are fine, but if you’re really stuck, move on and start the next phrase.
--Remember, “hay…” already means “there is….” You NEVER say “Hay es….”
--Keep your story limited to just one person.

Ways to keep preparing for the speaking assessment:
--Reread your stories.
--Make flashcards of those high-frequency words.
--Practice telling spontaneous stories using others’ illustrations.

4. Listen to some brave volunteers share their stories aloud with us.

5. Practice writing a spontaneous story using a story illustration.

Homework: The remainder of the week includes a vocabulary, grammar & speaking assessment each. Keep preparing yourselves!

¿Qué significan?
--¡Póntelo!.....................Put it on (yourself)!

--¡Devuélvemelos!........Return them to me!

**All of these have accents. Why? To keep the original sound the same.

Quickly sing our song for the irregular positive tú commands: “Ten, ven, pon, sal, di, sé, ve, haz.”
