Class Goals: 

To prepare for Monday's family and adjective test.

Class Activities: 

Do now activity (attached). Go over together in group.

Prepared students for test on Monday. The test will have 5 sections: translations, opposite words, vocabulary, family, and errors. Went over a few practice questions in each category to prepare for test:

translations:
She is a talented singer. Students wrote: Ella es cantante talentosa.
My dad is laid-back. Mi padre es tranquilo.
He is not social. Él no es sociable.

opposites:
alto (bajo)
joven (anciano)
simpático (antipático)
triste (feliz o alegre)
liberal (conservador)

vocabulary:
Canadian (students wrote: canadiense)
Mexican (mexicano)
Columbian (colombiano)

familia:
El hijo de mi tío es mi... (The son of my uncle is my...cousin): primo
La madre de mi madre es mi...
La esposa de mi padre es mi...

errores:
Mi madre es activo. The mistake in this sentence is: activa (because mom is feminine, therefore adjective descriptor must be feminine).

To prepare students, make sure they know vocabulary on the sheet attached. You can quiz them on the individual words and then ask them to put it together in practice sentences.

ej. The doctor is friendly.
The lawyer is interesting.
is = es
he = él
she = ella
