Period 1 - Spanish 5 AP/GT

Phrase of the day: ganarse la vida

Students discussed the portion of the novel they read for today. We discussed a variety of symbols and ended class with the opening of our discussion of 1823, and what this means. Students will read up to 143 for tomorrow.

Periods 2 and 3 - French 2

Students started class with an opening crossword puzzle. This was gone over. Students then reviewed all the vocabulary from chapter 5 by using transparencies. Students also were asked to identify 10 things shown on two particular transparencies. This was handed in. Students completed class by orally discussing activity 4 at the end of the chapter.

Period 5 - Spanish 3

Students opened class with a quick vocabulary review on a two-sided worksheet. Students then paired up into groups of 2 and worked to complete a 3-page packet reinforcing the use of the -IR verbs with stem-changes in the preterite. Students will continue studying for next class.

Period 6 - French 5 AP/GT

Phrase of the day: Tu me manques.

Students went over activities E and F from the textbook, using the relative pronouns LEQUEL and OÙ. Students then paired up to work on a worksheet, joining two sentences and choosing the most appropriate and logical relative pronoun. These responses were gone over. Students received a worksheet on the use of the word CE to end class. Students were told to expect a quiz on Monday.
