Class on 11/1/17

Warm Up:

Students wrote two sentences in past tense to answer the following question:

1. What did you do for Halloween?
Students wrote two sentences in present tense to answer the following question:
2. What is your Halloween Routine?

Students read out load their favorite sentences. Two students created lists of vocabulary: both nouns and verbs on portable white boards

Students turned questions into Topic Sentences. Examples:

I did many things on Halloween.

To celebrate Halloween, I always follow the same routine.

Students had 20 minutes to write a paragraph on questions #1.

The professor returned paragraphs about Spare Time. He lectured on the importance of details and specifics in the middle of the paragraph. 

Workbook page 20. 

Homework:

Write your first journal entry. Topic: write about someone important to you (friend or family) that has passed away. Can't remember enough detail? Talk with someone who does. If you write about your grandmother tell me, about her favorite food, where she was born, describe the clothes you remember her wearing, the sound of her voice, the color of her skin. No detail is wrong. Occasionally use a Spanish word here and there.
