Periods 1 and 6 - Spanish AP/GT and French AP/GT

There was no class today for either class.

Periods 2 and 3 - French 2

Students had a warm up activity with the verb AVOIR. This was gone over and handed in. students then orally completed activity 3 on text, page 57. Students continued to develop their skills with AVOIR completing workbook page 25, activities A1 and A2. Students ended class by completing an exit pass once again testing their knowledge of a variety of idiomatic expressions with AVOIR. During period 3, students listened to the listening comprehension activity on page 23 of the workbook. This activity is based on the Video-scene for lesson 3. Students were once again asked to study pages 56 and 58. Students were told of a quiz on lesson 3 next Friday. Other unannounced pop quizzes may take place before then.

Period 5 - Spanish 3

Students had a chance to watch 5 minutes of the continuing coverage of the miner rescue in Chile. Students were asked to write down as many words as possible they recognized. Many of these words actually come from chapters 5A and 5B, dealing with tragedies, first responders and rescues. After, we went over the homework assignment from the "Practice" workbook, page 107. Students ended class by responding to "Qué estabas haciendo cuando...? by writing appropriate and logical responses to a variety of sentence starters provided to them on the screen. Students were reminded of the test on 5A and 5B sometime toward the end of next week.
