Today was the first day for which I had to plan a lesson so that I could leave halfway through my last block class to attend my seminar course at Worcester State. Honestly, this is stressing me out. I feel bad for my last block students who are not getting the input that they need from me--input that my other two classes are, indeed, getting.
I will never, ever understand why this seminar class is at 2:30. Any student traveling from any kind of distance cannot make it without leaving early. WHY would they want us to do that? I really do not understand it. I, honestly, was worried about killing myself because of the velocity at which I have to travel to try to make it there for 2:30.
Today, I moved on with my classes. We started by going over the opening activity, which was a test for them to see how much they knew. I asked them to list the days of the week, the days of the weekend, the months, the seasons, 8 Spanish-speaking countries, etc. I was impressed that each class was able to produce what I wanted with very few errors. My students are definitely struggling with accent marks. Ay. So much to review. I did find, however, that the students did not know the seasons, which was good information for me.
After this review, we started an activity on possessive adjectives--my, your, his, her, our, etc. I color coded the examples--at first, I used the same two examples for each. Then, I showed a powerpoint and asked the students to fill in the blank. After that, I gave them conjugation cards that I got from la vieja because I am quizzing them on regular verbs tomorrow. Let's hope it goes well!
Cambio y corto,
el joven
