Today after Preguntas del Día we did a brief practice for the Present Progressive quiz. Students then took the short quiz.
We reviewed the six sites we studied this unit by identifying them with pictures.
Students then took the Interpretive Task (Forma Migratoria and identifying the sites through Yelp.com).
Finally, we discussed briefly what students will be expected to do on the upcoming presentational task. They should write a postcard on page 28 of the Actividades y Cultura packet to practice for this task. The guidelines for the writing practice are:
1. What are you doing today in Madrid? (Use pres. prog.)
2. What are you going to do tomorrow? (Use ir a + inf.)
3. What do you have to do in order to see/visit those places? (Use tener que + infinitive)
*Be sure to include LOTS of culture in your postcard!
Tarea: Review the six sites (your notes or through PPTs on Moodle) and write the practice postcard on AC p. 28.

Today we worked on two quick practices getting ready for the assessments next class. Students worked on a partner activity using the present progressive (quiz next class on formation!) and then individually they filled out another immigration form (forma migratoria) to get ready for the Interpretive Task.
Before we took notes on the final site we learning about this unit, el Palacio Real (AC p. 6, notes are on Moodle) we reviewed the other five sites by matching a description to the name.
We spent a lot of time writing complex sentences in Spanish and reviewing the sites of Madrid that we have studied. Students worked in small groups and prepared a sentence that included a specific grammar concept and culture based on a picture they were shown in class. The complexity and depth of the sentences improved immensely during the activity!
Finally, we took a look at the second part of the Interpretive Task, which will be to figure out what place in Madrid is being reviewed taken directly from yelp.com in Spanish. (AC p. 11)
Tarea: Moodle 7
Prueba: Presente del Progresivo

Today we did a quick practice activity before taking the quiz on yo go/irregular verbs.
After the quiz we read tweets that used the present progressive tense in context. Students circled the words that end in -ndo then tried to deduce the rules in forming the tense. We then took notes on page 5 of the Gramática packet. (Notes are on Moodle)
We did a quick practice activity of the present progressive tense.
We then took notes on the Puerta del Sol (Actividades y Cultura p.5, notes are on Moodle.)
We looked at reviews if the 6 sites and identified verbs from these reviews to help us identify more activities that we can do at each if the places.

Today we made passports in preparation for our interpretive task for this unit (fill out an immigration form.)
We talked about the steps for taking an international trip through an airport and used our new vocabulary to sequence these events both in a listening activity and a reading activity.
We took notes on La Plaza Mayor - the first set of notes in a series of 6. The Power Point can be found on Moodle. These notes MUST be taken in preparation for our presentational task and the information will be found on our semester exam on January. It is NOT enough to copy another student's notes, it is important to see the pictures on the Power Point as well.
Finally, we started notes on irregular verbs and yo-go verbs. This song could help memorize the yo form of these verbs!
Tarea: Moodle 1 - Have those vocabulary packets and Grammar packets open to help you!
