Don't foget about the...

30 hour credit project requirement!

Remember, in order to earn a credit in Spanish, you must complete a 30-hour credit project (above & beyond homework & time sheets) that extends your learning about Spanish / Spanish-speaking culture outside of the classroom. You will now be asked to turn in your credit project hours (yellow paper with squares on it) every Wed./Thursday along with your time sheet.

11A Study for your test next class on the "-ing" tense. You will see a subject word (in English, like "she") and a picture of someone doing an action. You will need to write the correct sentence in Spanish, including: the subject, the correct form of "estar" and the correct form of the verb in its -ing form (-ando or -iendo). Your help sheet called "The Present Progressive or "Ing" tense will help you prepare.

11B Work on your next time sheet.

11C If you received a progress report and are NOT PASSING (i.e. your grade is below 80%), work to raise it by making up work you're allowed to make up, such as work you missed when you were absent.

REMEMBER: I do NOT accept late work.

B. Practice with your new tense, the "-ing" or present progressive. I highly recommend doing this with a friend / study buddy.

 

Go to this website http://www.pwidergren.net/PPT/gram/spgram.htm and scroll down until you find the words "present progressive"


Watch three Power Points - the first one will review our lesson in class. http://www.pwidergren.net/PPT/gram/prprog1.ppt

 

Choose the correct answer - A or B (mentally is OK). Sometimes both answers are correct.

 

Watch how the form of estar changes depending on the subject.

 

The watch #1 http://www.pwidergren.net/PPT/gram/prprog4.ppt ...

 

Guess what the answer will be before you click - tell me how many you got correct.

PARTY NEXT CLASS! Bring something to share with your classmates. We'll have a small fiesta before your tests.

 

IF YOU HAVE PLATES, PLEASE BRING THEM!

 

REMINDER: Time sheet due next class.

 

Verbs test next class will be matching (Spanish to English) BUT there will be more answers than questions so know your verbs well!

 

To study for your verbs test: Do your "speed conjugation" sheet over and over until you can do it without looking at your helpsheet. (Or use flashcards or test yourself however you wish to.)

 

This is what your "me gusta" test will be next class:

 

Study for it - hopefully with a parter (test one another). (You will need to know your "Mickey Mouse" song (yo is I, tú is you...) and both sides of your "cheese sheet" - the paper with a slice of pizza, a taco, a strawberry & a soccer ball on it.)


Part 1 = What is the most correct definition of gustar (it is NOT to like)...?

Part 2 = What words need an el, la, los or las in front of them?

Part 3 = Which sentence is correct - I give you three to choose from - this is related to Part 2.

Part 4 = You must translate 4 sentences from English to Spanish for different subjects.

Part 5 = You must translate "range" words from Spanish to English (encanta, no me gusta nada, etc.)

2A Work on your 2nd time sheet.

2B Study for your tests next Wednesday / Thursday...all verb definitions on your green "Quia" sheet for your verbs definition test, and your "me gusta" green helpsheet for your quiz on the verb gustar. (Doing your homework below will help you study.)

2C Write 9 sentences from your survey about:

1 about yourself,

2 for boys (use names),

2 for girls (use names),

2 for "us" (use names) and

2 for "they" (use names)= 9 sentences total.

Help for you:


Do one for yourself - you shouldn't need help for that. = 1

A (name), (no) le gusta(n) __________________. = 4
Write 2 for a boy, and 2 for a girl.

A (name) y yo, (no) nos gusta(n) _____________. = 2
Write 2 of these for "us".

A (name y name), (no) les gusta(n) ____________. = 2

Write 2 of these for "they".

9 sentences total. For those of you who want to challenge yourselves (& impress me), write using "range words" (listed below) instead of just simple me gusta & no me gusta sentences. :)

"Range"' words = [tiny word] encanta(n) = love it!

[tiny word] gusta(n) mucho = like it a lot!

[tiny word] gusta(n) = like it

no [tiny word] gusta = don't like it

no [tiny word] gusta nada = hate it!

[tiny words = me, te, le, nos, os, les]

Then, write 1 more long-form sentence for each of these subjects: tú, él ella OR usted, nosotr@s, vosotr@s, and ellos ellas OR ustedes = 10 sentences total (5 about you...5 about other subjects).
