Heads up:  Next week's schedule (Oct 31 - Nov 4 will be modified to accomodate WKCE testing.  We'll be working on the vocabulary from chapter 9, section 1)

Finish the classwork from today

You will need to write 8 sentences:
2 sentences using:  imperfect progressive with preterite (with irregular stems; like traer, estar, poner, poder, etc)
2 sentences using:  ir + a + infinitive with preterite (with irregular stems; like traer, estar, poner, poder, etc)
4 sentences using preterite verbs which change meaning appropriately (conocer, saber, poder, querer, tener)
You need to illustrate your sentences and include enough context so that I know you know how to use these verbs appropriately.  THE ARTWORK WILL NOT BE GRADED!  It is simply a way in which to make your context clear.

ADD HOMEWORK PAGES FOR TONIGHT!!

For Wednesday night's homework:

Please do pages 17, 40, 46.  Page 40 should be in the imperfect NOT the present.  Sorry for the confusion.

Heads Up:  Your final project for the quarter will be to write a fairytale/children's story from the perspective of a minor character, or from the perspective of the bad guy.  If you've ever read The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, that's the idea.  Or, Cinderella from the point of view of one of the step sisters, for example.  You can get started now!  We will be adding vocabulary that goes with this idea as a class, but you may want to get started now and go over a rough draft with me or an honor society student.  
Vocabulary coming up is:  Chapter 4, both sections and Chapter 9, first section.
