Capítulo 1.A - ¿Qué te gusta hacer

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?
• USE THE CATCH-UP CHECKLIST TO BE SURE!!
• 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!!

LA TAREA (written in your SAM) -- Complete your CATCH-UP CHECKLIST
And create PHYSICAL proof you studied:

• flashcards
• signed note from adult saying you studied

Capítulo 1.A - ¿Qué te gusta hacer

La agenda de lunes, el 4 de abril

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