OBJECTIVES:
Students will acquire vocabulary through action, games, interviews and reading. Grammar structures (Present and Informal Future) are introduced and practiced and some homework will be assigned. Chapters 2 & 3 of DOS MUNDOS will be covered in this class.
TIPS FOR GLEANING READING PLEASURE FROM DOS MUNDOS:
· Look at all visuals before actually reading text.
· Read captions under pictures; find main topics to be discussed in the chapter, ie,
· chapter sections.
· Read titles, short passages--work up to longer readings.
· Scan Lectura, Nota Cultural for main ideas, read a second time using footnotes and cognates to glean meaning. Use dictionary as a last resort.
· To prepare an activity for homework, read the questions for comprehension and write the answers or at least be prepared to answer in class.
· Refer to Grammar section (blue pages) as indicated under each section heading. Do a few exercises from each grammar point. Check your answers in the back (Appendix 4).
