On Wednesday, we completed workbook page 51 during class and reviewed it. Yesterday, after we worked with our new vocabulary through activity 1 on p.134, we split in to two groups and each group completed three sentences on p.52 in the workbook. We then wrote them on the board and made sure we got all of the sentences written in our workbook. The second activity (8) is optional, and up to five extra points. . . you are imagining that you are president of a Central American country and discussing what your politics would be about the environment.

It is due at the beginning of class tomorrow if I did not receive it today. Make sure you turn it in on time to get off to the right start this semester!
Hot Seat Tuesday; Final exam on Thursday!
On Friday (after we turned in the take home assessment), we reviewed what the final exam was going to be like and take test notes. Then, we played Jeopardy in teams to help prepare for the final exam. Don’t forget that the speaking part of your final exam is taking place on Tuesday (El Asiento Caliente). It will cover the five chapters that we did this semester (your group worked on creating questions on Wednesday and Thursday). Keep working hard. . . first semester is almost over!=)
End of chapter review activities (124-125)
Today, we discussed the final project and how you would make adjustments to it (things you liked, didn’t like, etc.). . . then, we went through the end of the chapter activities on pages 124-125 to prepare for the take home assessment that you are going to receive tomorrow. We also practiced with the vocabulary and the grammar concepts to prepare for the little white boards game tomorrow in teams (commands, conditional and vocabulary from p.127). The take home assessment you receive tomorrow will be due at the beginning of class on Friday. That is also the last day to turn in any missing assignments and complete any retakes.

Tomorrow, we will review the conditional tense (we talked about it on Wednesday as well as reviewed the first activity on p.44–the second activity was crossed out), and pages 47-48 workbook will be due the day you return from break. We will be turning our workbook in that day as well, so make sure you are done with it. We will also discuss what makes a good presentation tomorrow and who is going on Thursday or Friday for presenting when we return from break. Hopefully you used the lab days wisely so you don’t have a lot to do over winter break for your project, but everyone needs to turn in the binder on Thursday, January 9th. We will also do a holiday activity during class tomorrow.
