The first part of this session - 75 minutes was devoted to reading comprehension, increasing vocabulary and sentence construction. Chase read the short story "los Vampiros" in Spanish. She then translated it and identified new vocabulary words and grammar. Her Spanish reading has improved a lot. She did well with the translation. We made a list of new vocabulary words. I explained the grammar as we went along. Chase then answered all the questions: multiple choice and open ended.
The second half of the session - 45 minutes - was used to Speak Spanish - Conversation format. Chase has a city which she sketched herself. Using the list of question words and verbs from the Spanish 2 curriculum, she formed questions and answers. All the words are on flash cards; many of the verbs are in their conjugated form. She matched up a question word with a verb and a noun (from her city map) to create a question. She then answered her questions by adding in prepositions of location. She did very well. Her Spanish conversation is improving.
