          La agenda de martes, el 5 de abril

          ¡Hola hola, clase!  You can do it!  ¡Sí se puede!  ¡Aquí está la presentación de hoy!

          • Calentamiento
            • ¡Saquen ustedes sus CUADERNOS, PROOF YOU STUDIED, y SAMs!
              • Notebook out! SAM out!  
            • Go to the warm-up page, and write the title  “Calentamiento.”
            • Write down and answer: 
              • ¿Qué te gusta hacer?
              • ¿Qué no te gusta hacer?
            • If you weren't here:
              • ¿Qué te gusta hacer? 
              • What “do you like” to do?
                • Me gusta escuchar música y ver la tele.
              • ¿Qué NO     te gusta hacer?
              • What don’t  “you like” to do?
                • NO me gusta leer artículos políticos.
            • ¡APUNTES! - Notes on "gustar"
              • Me gusta ≠ I like it! → The book LIED! (‘cause it’s easy to learn/remember that way)
                • GUSTAR → to be pleasing to
                  • Me → to me 
                  • Te → to you
              • gusta → 1 thing → it is pleasing
              • gustan → 2+ things → they are pleasing
              • An infinitive verb = a verb that ends in AR, ER, or IR, which means “to _do something_”
                • Infinitive means there isn’t a subject OR a tense yet; there are infinite ways you could conjugate (or CHANGE) this verb! 
                • Example: to play → I play, he played, we will play, they would play, y’all would have played, etc!
                • So, there are three kinds of verbs, and we categorize them by their -ar, -er, or -ir endings!
              • What are the 3 kinds of verbs, again?
                • AR, ER, IR
            • Let's act out the verbs
              • One of the best ways to learn new verbs is to DO them!!
                • Please stand up, put down everything in your hands, push in your chair, and make sure nothing on your desk is easily knocked over!
                • Let’s ACT OUT THE VERBS!!
            • Do you have the tools you need?
              • 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!!

                • ¿Cuál es la fecha?
                  • IF YOU WEREN'T HERE, and need to review:
                    • ¿Cómo te llamas? → What is your name?
                      • Me llamo __SPANISH NAME__.

                      • Es el cinco de octubre.
              • 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 _______
