Today students received new vocabulary lists for Unit 6. *Pick up from Sra. Anderson if you were absent!

We also took (brief) notes on the conditional tense. We added them to our future/ESCAPA AAA/MCDEATH folder.

We pinpointed Puerto Rico on a map and then learned about some of the Bizarre foods that can be found there. Students wrote six sentences about what foods they would try, they would prepare, the would order, etc.

Today we practiced ESCAPA AAA / MCDEATH and future goals through various stations, including:
1) Links to 3 practice sites
2) A listening activity about planning a proyecto de vida
3) A conversation circle
4) Creating sentences with ESCAPA AAA / MCDEATH
5) Reflecting on our future goals
6) Reviewing conjugations of present indicative, present subjunctive, preterit, imperfect, future
7) Listening for the tense stated in a sentence and deciding between present/past/future

We ran out of time to talk about our goals, but our homework is:

Today we focused quite a bit on interpretive skills. We read the article from the Cultura packet called "De mi empleo, valoro..." on p. 10. First, we highlighted vocabulary words and words from Cultura p. 12 to infer their meanings. We then made predictions about what we were about to read and then verified whether our predictions were true.

The tarea is to write your own Currículum Vitae. This will be a great stepping stone for the "Proyecto de Vida" project. On your CV include:

una foto de ti mismo

tu estado civil

tu educación

tu experiencia profesional

tus habilidades

¿Qué te distingue?

tus idiomas

I recommend that you look up a few CV's to use as an example, but DO NOT copy them. Use language and phrases that you KNOW how to say!

We practiced with vocabulary through a 'busqueda'. Then we reviewed affirmative and negative words (handout in class).

We took a survey to find out where our interests are and received a recommendation for the type of job we may want in the future.

We looked at different job ads from Mexico/Spain according to what we learned from the survey and we wrote down what abilities we have to would make us good candidates for those jobs.

Finally, the "Proyecto de la Vida" rubric was handed out and explained. The project will be due February 24.

Tarea:
Vocabulary quiz - front side of vocabulary list!
Actividades p. 24, 25, 27 (1-9 only on page 27)

Today we practiced the future tense with several activities before taking a quiz on the formation/use of the tense.

Then we looked at an infograph that outlines suggestions on how to make yourself a good candidate for a job and create a sound Curriculum Vitae. From the infograph we made our own summary of suggestions and put them in the Tú command form. We then looked at an example of 'what not to do' with a CV.

We took notes on affirmative/negative words (Act. p. 16).

We then did an activity to practice vocabulary (upcoming quiz February 10!)
