¡Hola hola, clase! Hope you had a wonderful couple of weeks!! ¡Here is our presentation that we used in class today! (¡Usamos esta presentación hoy!)
- Calentamiento
- ¡Saquen ustedes sus CUADERNOS y SAMs!
- Notebook out! SAM out!
- Go to your warm-up page, and write the title “Calentamiento."
- Write down and answer the following questions:
- ¿Cómo te llamas?
- ¿Cómo estás?
- ¿Qué día es hoy?
- ¿Cuál es la fecha?
- IF YOU WEREN'T HERE, and need to review:
- ¿Cómo te llamas? → What is your name?
- Me llamo __SPANISH NAME__.
- ¿Cómo estás? → How are you?
- Estoy __bien/mal/así-así/regular/enfermo/a__.
- ¿Qué día es hoy? → What day is today?
- Hoy es lunes.
- 4. ¿Cuál es la fecha? → What is the date?
- Es el cinco de octubre.
- El juego de béisbol
- Baseball is extremely popular, especially in Puerto Rico, and the Latin American countries of the Caribbean (like Cuba and the Dominican Republic)!
- So, we're going to play, too!
- 3 outs = no more tries that day!
- Doing awesome stuff in class = 1 base
- 4 bases = 1 home run = 1 point that day/inning!
- 3 strikes = 1 out
- Plus, there are only 6 innings, so we can potentially earn PAT every 7 days!
- HOMEWORK TONIGHT: Expectations for proof you studied
- If you haven’t yet, please label each section or each word:
- What you already know (with a checkmark or :D!)
- What you remember but need to review (**)
- If you just need to work on SPELLING, you can write SP
- What you haven’t learned or don’t remember learning (use a ?? or other symbol)
- Make a flashcard for every word with **, SP, or ??
- Understanding the language learning journey
- Language learning has a very high abandonment rate. A mere 4% of students embarking on language courses in schools achieve a basic level of fluency after three years. 96% fail to become fluent, and many quit completely!
- People almost always wrongly conclude two things from this:
- Myth 1) Learning languages is hard.
- Myth 2) Other people (but not them) are naturally good at languages.
- One of the biggest reasons cited for abandoning is that students don't feel any sense of progression -- it’s hard to feel like you’re getting BETTER! Also, most students from the US, even that have an “A” in Spanish, can visit a Spanish speaking country and they can't even have basic conversations. People largely give up because they had the wrong expectations.
- So let's bust some myths:
- 1) Learning a language isn't hard. It just takes a long time.
- 2) Everyone is naturally good at languages.
- You already learned one, remember?
- You may have just forgotten how long it took.
- Learning Spanish is like mountain climbing
- It's steeper at first, so learning in middle school takes determination
- But, the Spanish fluency mountain is one ANYONE can climb, provided she is willing to put in the effort and time to keep going a bit at a time!
- So, where are you?
- Can you hang out with me for the night at base camp, or do you need to run to catch up?
- Do you have the tools you need?
- USE THE CATCH-UP CHECKLIST TO BE SURE!!
- Yes! I know the...
- Alphabet
- Estoy ______
- Me llamo _______
- Es _day_, el _number_ de month.
- new vocab words;
- how to say "I like" and "I don't like"
- new VERBS!
- If you've got the tools, AWESOME!!
- If not, please PRACTICE, and get caught up so we can start learning the new vocabulary and doing the next unit!
- Also, PLEASE CHECK YOUR GRADES!!
- As of THIS EVENING, they are up to date!! Be sure to turn in any missing assignments!!
- Thanks for your patience - I wanted to be sure you would be able to COME IN AND TALK TO ME if you had any missing assignments!!
- If you get done getting stuff you missed,
- please CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE to get used to the new vocabulary!!
