FINAL EXAMS NEXT WEEK!!!
HOMEWORK: Spanish = SER vs. ESTAR Worksheet (only side "1") Download Theme7SERvsESTARSide1
French = Worksheet le passé composé (back of "Power of Avoir" sheet) Download Theme7Avoir&PasseComposeTogether
IN CLASS: In Spanish and French, we worked on some very important and fundamental concepts - the kind of skills students need to succeed in Level II next year in high school.
Spanish = Discussion of the two verbs which mean "to be" = SER vs. ESTAR
See the Spanish Powerpoint here Download SERvsESTAR
French = the Past Tense - le passé composé
See the French Powerpoint here Download PasseCompose
HOMEWORK: Spanish = Write 5 complex sentences in which you say how you FEEL when you are in certain places. Here are two examples:
"Cuando yo estoy en mi casa, yo estoy contento."
"Cuando yo estoy en la escuela, yo estoy triste."
HOMEWORK: French = None.
IN CLASS: In Spanish, we wrapped up discussing O/U ---> UE Stem-Changing Verbs. We began working with the verb ESTAR, which means "to be" just like SER. It is used more often for conditions people may feel temporarily, like being sick or mad... we'll discuss it more in depth tomorrow, and how it is different from SER.
In French, we again focused on the verb AVOIR, and how it is used in many ways in French like we use "to be" - such as hungry, thirsty, cold, hot, tired, etc. We played "Survivor" and watched a crazy AVOIR video.
Today we reviewed several concepts in Theme 7: invitations and responses (both classes), TENER + Expressions and Reflexive Verbs (Spanish), POUVOIR and using "ON" (French).
We took the Theme 7.a QUIZ today - MAKE-UPS on Thursday morning at 8:15am!!!
After the quiz (in French), we introduced the irregular verb AVOIR ("to have") and lots of expressions using this verb. In Spanish, we intended to introduce O/U -> UE Stem Changers but ran out of time. See both powerpoints below!
HOMEWORK: Spanish = none (cancelled due to lack of time); French = Translate the 8 sentences at the bottom of the back of your Theme 7 Vocab. List ("Holy Grail" ).

HOMEWORK: Spanish = worksheet (reflexive verbs) completed mostly in class. French = none.
IN CLASS: We really focused today on REFLEXIVE VERBS (Spanish) and POUVOIR (French). Students worked through a cool powerpoint in which they had to create complete sentences using these verbs. If you were not here, it would help to download them (below), view show, and see if you are able to complete the sentences correctly using the notes from yesterday's powerpoint.

IN CLASS: We continued to practice invitations... in Spanish focusing on TENER + QUE (when someone "has to" do something) and in French using ON ("shall we..."). At the end of class in Spanish, we introduced REFLEXIVE VERBS and in FRENCH we started to work with the verb "can" or "to be able to" - POUVOIR.

HOMEWORK:

IN CLASS: We reviewed how to use TENER (Spanish) and ON (French). We corrected and discussed the HW. We did several intensive listening activities with native speakers on a CD and video. Finally, students created mini-skits using photos of kids inviting each other to do things and responding.
HOMEWORK: Spanish = Worksheet, Using the verb TENER (not available for download - see Mr. Blankenship) French = "On - le pronom magique" Download Theme7UsingONInvitations
IN CLASS: In Spanish we learned all about the verb TENER ("to have") and many expressions that it is used in, such as "have to..." "to be in a hurry..." "have a date..." "to feel like..." and so on. In French, we focused on how to use the pronoun "ON" to suggest activities to others, it's like saying "Shall we...?" or "Wanna...?" In both classes, we did a fun skit called "The REWIND..."
