miercoles 29 de octubre: study places vocabulary, work on weather reports, ILRN

Para el miercoles 29 de octubre:

On Wednesday, we are going to work more with the places vocabulary from Ch.4, the verbs estar and ir, and look at maps.

You are going to be doing a map comparison activity for a grade during the last part of class on Wednesday. You should study the vocabulary on p.112, the verb estar on p.115 and the prepositions of place (to the right, beside, etc) on p.115. You will be allowed to use your book for the activity, but you don't want to spend all your time looking up words.

For Monday, November 3rd, you should video record yourself giving a weather report for a Spanish-speaking city. The details can be found on Sakai under Study guides.../Assignment details/Weather report videos.  If you do not have a way to record yourself, come to class prepared on the 3rd and I'll record you. Be sure to read these instructions on Sakai before Wednesday so you can ask questions if needed.
