* Began and ended with Hail Mary
** at beginning we focused on pronunciation and comparison to the Spanish text (all students today speak Spanish)
** this was an interesting exercise to read in English a text that students know in their own language but do not immediately see as similar, when they are actually quite similar!
* agreed upon Red/ Yellow card strategy
** Yellow card when student +/- understands the ENglish but is not sure
*** explanation will be in English
** Red card when student does not understand
*** explanation will be in Spanish
* distributed worksheets packet (11 pages) from Level Intro (Red) for students to work on
** they are to complete for next week
* worked in groups of 2 on dialog exercises
** key was:
*** comprehension aided by on-page translation of English dialog
*** free response questions
**** student responses served as learning point given mistakes
* discussed how Spanish has gender but English does not
** rule =
*** if it's a person (human) use gender
*** if it is a thing, use "it"
* started on Numbers worksheet, but errors on the worksheet needed to be corrected for next week
