                     Cuento:  Each of you will memorize over break the story "El pájaro de los siete colors".
                     For each box, or numbered section of the story you need to use the words there to rewrite one or two sentences to summarize the section.  Then memorize it.  You are welcome to blow up the pictures or draw your own to go along with the telling of the story or a poster with the scenes.  These are only optional to help you retell the story.  I will call on 3 to 4 students each day after school starts until you have all recited the story.  Don't worry about plagiarizing the words of the story when you write your summary sentences to memorize.  The object of this is not to see how well you write but rather to help you learn pret. vs. imperfecto.  We will do the same with other stories so don't let this one slip by over break.  I will grade you on correct usage of preterite and the imperfecto.  Here is a link to listen to me reading the story to help you with pronunciation:  Reading of "El pájaro de 7 colores"


3/19  Prueba el 21 de marzo:  this is what will be on the test, most of what you see in 9A:  One part will shave a paragraph with the verbs all in the present and you will switch them all to the preterito, you should know your regular -ar, -er, -ir verb endings in the past, ir/ser in preterito (fui, fuiste, fue...), estar (estuve, estuviste...), dar (di, diste,...) and all -ir stem changers like repetir (repetí, repetiste, repitió...).  Do not worry about the imperfect tense, it won't be on the test. Also, vocab in context, know the culture sections on Panamá, the Kuna people and their art, called Molas, also read culture section on the different words for clothes around the spanish speaking world. NEGATIVE WORDS vs. positive (algo, nada, alguien, nadie).  One vocab section uses the following terms:  lo que leva and lo que se pone which mean:  "What one wears for..."  Por ejemplo: if the test says "lo que se poner para andar en las montañas" you would write "boats"
