Lo siento... haven't kept up with the blog idea too much. Let's have a recap of the past two weeks:

Español 4:

This week  and last, we watched the movie EL NORTE.  It is the story of two Guatemalan immigrants, Rosa and Enrique, and their struggles to come to the United States and make a living, while retaining their native culture. 

Students had to fill in a list of vocabulary, keep track of the characters in the movie, answer short answer questions, and write an essay on one of four themes. 

Students had essay conferences with me about their writing, which they had to re-write and edit. 

Finally, on Thursday we went over the grammar topic of gender of nouns.  The homework was from Asi Se Dice textbook, page 23 activity 14 and page 25 activity 16.
