¿En qué cuarto está...?
El champú está en el cuarto de baño.

* la televisión
* el jabón

* la comida
* el sofá

In groups of two, students reviewed things in a house. I showed one student in each group a word and students either drew, explained in Spanish, or acted out/pointed in order to get the other student to guess the right word.

Students are going to learn about present progressive verbs (He is eating) by explaining things that are happening in a house. We started by introducing some verbs in a few rooms.
* la cocina (comer, cocinar, hornear, lavar)
* el dormitorio (dormir, leer, jugar, vestirse)

tarea: continue studying vocabulary of things in a room and learn verbs related to each room.

Students arrived and completed:

Write the four main rooms in a house and two things in each room (from memory if possible).

Reviewed rooms in a house and added a few new words:
* sótano
* piso (as in levels of a house)
* a la izquierda
* a la derecha
* arriba
* abajo

I described a house while students drew the house with things in each room.

Tarea: study vocabulary around things in a house (on worksheet students have been working on, copy attached).

Students arrived and looked at their tests about food and had 5 minutes to work on corrections. Any corrections they didn't complete in class are homework.

Went over homework (matching people looking for houses with apartments and houses for rent and for sale).

Students received attached worksheet about house-related vocabulary. Using the for sale/for rent worksheet and notes students have taken since we started our house unit, students wrote in the correct vocabulary word with each given clue. Ej.: En el verano es bueno tener en la casa aire acondicionado.

Tarea:
* Complete corrections to food test.
* Complete classroom activity (unless student already did in class).
* Write down on attached worksheet 10 things in the kitchen.

Students arrived and received a picture of a house and labeled the parts they remembered:
* la cocina
* el baño
* el dormitorio/la habitación
* el salón/la sala
* el garaje
* el jardin

Students received white boards and wrote the most important word of the properties for rent on the activity we started Wednesday: page 11-12 of a worksheet describing various houses and apartments for rent and for sale.

Went over some more vocabulary to make sure vocabulary was clear:
* piso = apartamento
* quincena = quince días
* calefacción = es importante en el invierno (noviembre, diciembre, enero) mientras el aire acondicionado es necesario en el verano (junio, julio, agosto)
* piscina = el lugar para nadar

On the second page of the activity, students started to match up people looking for properties with the places we've learned about for rent or for sale.

Tarea: complete the second page of activity, matching people with the place that makes the most sense.

Students arrived and filled out a form to publish their book. Students also received some corrections on their final draft of their book and need to complete their corrections and hand in their book Friday.

We went over the basic parts of a house:
* cocina
* baño/aseo
* salón/sala
* dormitorio/habitación
* jardin
* garaje

Introduced se vende and se alquila (for sale/for rent). Students received page 11-12 of a worksheet describing various houses and apartments for rent and for sale. Students read through all of the for sale properties and wrote down the most important word or phrase describing the place. They then read through all of the for rent properties and did the same.

Tarea: complete reading through all the properties and writing down the most important word. For students who had corrections to their book, make corrections and bring in the final draft for publishing on Friday.
