Lesson Comments
I never saw Bella's camera on. She offered to turn it on. But, I was sharing my screen for the entirety of the lesson and so it was not relevent to do so.
Matthew and I continued to watch La Historia Oficial. As we watched, we stopped frequently to analyze what he was hearing and compare it to what was written/what the meaning is in English.
Matthew was asked to dissect what he heard and reconcile it with what he was taught.
Bella led us through a review of the future tense. I communicated with her primarily (90%) in Spanish during this time.
She was able to form sentences using the future tense. She needed a little assistence with the irregular verbs. She reviewed the content with a high degree of accuracy.
She then continued to work on her paragraph in the future. She was able to complete it.
Bella and I reviewed the conditional tense. She had a great memory of the content that we had already covered. We then went on to the future tense.
She used the material that she learned to discuss her plans for the future. She wrote about studying psychology at the University of Miami (just as a hypothetical), living with her cat, and making friends there.
Matthew led our review today. I asked him questions in Spanish and he responded in mostly English. He taught us about using the conditional and the future tense. He gave examples, spoke to the irregulars, and gave the general rules.
We then read an article discussing the future of the Harvard Business School's locations in Latin America.
The article was in response to what appeared to be a leaked letter from the Harvard Business School. The article used the future tense. It spoke about issues of emigration and current trends.
Matthew and I reviewed the conditional tense from last week completely in Spanish. Matthew responded at appropriate times with a medium-high degree of accuracy.
Matthew was then taught the future tense. We focused on the correct endings and the irregulars. We reviewed other ways to speak about the future in Spanish.
Matthew was shown the same sentence in 6 different conjugations to help tie past elements that he has learned together.
He then continued to watch his film in Spanish. We wrote out and translated specific sentences from the film.
