Please note: This week's classes and lessons are a bit of a circus, with the testing schedule making certain classes 70-80 minutes long and others 30-40 minutes. Please forgive the mess, I'll do my best to keep the details organized here, but it will be somewhat confusing, as different periods reach different points in each lesson.
Monday & Tuesday April 14th-15th (sequence & date vary by class period):
- Warmup: Giving directions to a location on/near campus (Written)
- In-class practice with giving directions using map of South Bay (out loud)
- Tour of the streets of Barcelona, Spain walking & flying over in Google Maps and Google Earth (interactive in-class activity)
- Textbook p.285, Activity 9 - Using Google Earth to "walk" to each location, following directions given out loud
- Warmup: With a small group, collaborate to write down driving directions in Spanish to each of the five locations listed on the whiteboard
- Copy down the lyrics to the Por & Para memorization songs
- Textbook activity p.379, Activities 6 & 7 (for 6, just write por or para and the reason why, for activity 7 just tell whether it is por or para).
- Intro video to Barcelona, Spain
- Video notes on Barcelona
- TAREA #54: Choose a city, either Madrid or Barcelona. Do a little bit of light research on real-world locations in the city, and select four actual locations: A) A hotel, B) a museum, C) a restaurant, and D) a tourist spot that is unique to that city. Then write out walking or driving directions from location A to B, B to C, and C to D. Use Google Maps if needed, but translate the turn-by-turn directions yourself using the vocabulary we have been studying.
- Video notes on Madrid
