3rd Period Matrix- 4/25

Class Activities: 

-Students reviewed preterite and imperfect past tense use.
-Students began working on a new project: Libro del Pasado. This will be a book using past tense to tell about a character. It may be in first person if the student chooses. It consists of three parts. Part 1: A few sentences introducing the character (name, age, where he/she is from—This may be in present tense). Part 2: Using imperfect to tell what he or she used to do (ie: when he/she was young). Part 3: Using preterite to tell about a typical day (describe what he/she did yesterday). The project will include drawings and will be presented to the rest of the class when completed. We will work on this during class time unless otherwise notified.
-For homework, students have a riddle to solve: Te adorno en la primavera, En otoño te alimento, Te refresco en el verano, Y en invierno te caliento. Bring your ideas or answer to class on Friday.
