We discussed the verbs Saber, Conocer. We discussed the -go verbs. We discussed superlatives and comparatives.

David and I worked to make sure that he had a good and faithful copy of his introduction paragraph so that he could study it tonight. He will need to produce a similar paragraph tomorrow as part of his exam. This took a considerable amount of time and effort but should pay off in the end.

We spoke about the grade that she currently has for me and touched on what needs to happen for her to bring her grade up and take her final exam. Note: Kaitlin spent some of her session time working on a project for her art class until Dr. Mary helped her to get online.

Cam took the quiz on both his saber v. conocer and -go verbs. He got an A on the quiz. We then previewed Spanish 2 for him. He then reflected on the semester in Spanish class. He participated in some extra credit and wrote a paragraph about his experience.

We discussed the meaning of the sentences as we did so to help him connect the ideas in his mind in both English and Spanish. He practiced constructing the paragraph multiple times in his mind and aloud. He studied the paragraph 1 more time and then wrote the graded paragraph. He did an amazing job and earned an A on this paragraph.

We built on the paragraphs that she started with Teresa adding multiple sentences to each paragraph. We discussed how the same principles that apply to good essay writing in English apply to good writing in Spanish. We highlighted some examples but let her know that with our limited time left in class, we would focus more on the fundamentals. She wrote good sentences that tie back to her topic sentences for each paragraph.

David practiced writing his Spanish conclusion paragraph. Then, he wrote the graded version of the paragraph from memory on a piece of paper.

Kaitlin knows about half of the 53 verbs and wrote the first paragraph of her essay. She completed the self description using ser.

Kaitlin and I worked on her vocabulary cards. Today, she knew 19 of them well, kind of knew about 12, and did not know 20 of them.

She needs to finish making the cards that should have been finished before. She needs a total of 60 from the approved list.

She then needs to study them well enough to pass the vocabulary portion of her final exam.

She was told that she needs to know her body paragraphs as well.

David worked on the next two portions of his exam essay. He is doing a great job with the essay though we did simplify it slightly to make it easier for himself.
