Session Date
Lesson Topic
Present and Past tenses; Mexican Aztecs and their story of being conquered by Spain.
Lesson Outline
Our lesson today was divided into 2 parts. The first - 30 minutes -was identification and differentiation of the present and past tenses. Chase was a bit rusty on the formation of the past tense but once we reviewed it, she progressed easily. She recognized all the regular verbs - ar, ir, and er.
The second part - 90 minutes this story was a mix of grammar (present and past tenses), history and culture- El Origen de Los Aztecas. It is the story of the origin of the Azetecs. We first discussed how Spain sent many "conquistadors" all over the world to conquer countries, in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. This story concerns Mexico and the Aztecs and Cortes - the year 1519. Chase read the story in Spanish then identified each verb in every sentence. She especially identified the tense of each verb - present and past. She translated one paragraph at a time, creating a word bank. The story contains multiple choice and open ended questions in Spanish. She answered the questions and created a short time-line of historical events. She did very well and showed a lot of interest throughout.
