One student will select the top card and read the first of eight activities that are on that card. The rest of the team must act out each activity. When finished, the person to the reader's left reads the next card. Continue so that each person is a reader at least once.*

Recap formation of reflexive verbs

And here's Sr. Mara's take on reflexive verbs: [|Reflex Your Verby]

Not all verbs are reflexive. Look at the PowerPoint to decide which verb applies:

Guided writing: "Un Novio Fatal"

Homework: Write a paragraph in the present tense about one of the following scenarios: --una novia fatal --Un día terrible --la vida fabulosa de ___ (una persona famosa)__ __Your paragraph should have at least ten activities associated with a morning routine. Tell when at least three of the activities occur by inserting the time.__

__**Friday, December 16, 2011**__ (4th block will do the activities listed above for 12-15)

Review vocabulary --Para Empezar: "Roberto y Teresa"--put dialogue in order



__**Monday-Tuesday, December 19-20, 2011**__ 1) Go to quia.com /choose quia web / find a teacher-Lilley / click on my photo and then open "2. Mi Rutina Diaria" Do all activities through the "Daily Routine-Battleship game" [|Daily Routine-Quia]

2) Write a six sentence paragraph about your daily routine including what time you wake up in the morning (generalmente). We read it aloud to several students using the Inside/Outside structure. If you missed class, practice reading your paragraph aloud a few time and then be able to say it without looking at your paper. Double check for correct sentence structure and then turn in to me.

3) We briefly discussed what you already know about Argentina and will continue with more information on Wed./Thurs.

4) Tarea: There are two worksheets on reflexive verbs in the Homework Box. I do not have these in electronic format so be sure to get them out of the box upon your return if you were absent. One worksheet is titled: "Gramatica B-Reflexive verbs". On that paper, do not do #2--don't cross it out as we will do it in class. On the reverse side, you may mark through #1 since you already did this activity in class on Friday.
