Today's agenda:
Students began to work on chores and obligations today. We received a chores packet. I showed students pictures with Spanish captions. Students then had to do a matching worksheet writing the Spanish chore under the English equivalent, and the English chore under the Spanish equivalent. This worksheet is attached to website.
Next each student was instructed to share with his/her classmate how often he/she does each chore. So it sounded like this.....
Yo tengo que cortar el cesped de vez en cuando.
Yo nunca tengo que poner la mesa.
Yo tengo que lavar los platos a menudo
etc....
Lastly, the students played tic tac toe using the verb tener que + the chores. The students are responsible for knowing the following chores:
Lavar los platos
Wash the dishes
Lavar la ropa
Wash the clothes
cocinar la comida
cook the food
cuidar las plantas y las flores
to take of the plants and flowers
barrer el suelo
sweep the floor
limpiar el suelo
mop the floor
comprar los comestibles
buy the groceries
pasar la aspiradora
vacuum the floor
planchar la ropa
iron the clothes
lavar el coche
wash the car
sacar la basura
take out the trash
poner la mesa
set the table
hacer la cama
make the bed
cuidar a los ninos
take care of the kids
dar de comer al perro
feed the dog
dar de comer a los ninos
feed the kids
limpiar la casa
clean the house
cortar el cesped
cut the grass
So, using the verb tener que + a chore the students played tic tac toe. Game would have sounded like this, "Hector tiene que cortar el cesped". Nosotros tenemos que sacar la basura etc. If students were absent, please see me so I can get you the packet and help you to understand what we are trying to accomplish in unit 5.2 and chores.
