Argentina had an immigration spurt at the beginning of the 19th Century.  This mix of cultures is one thing that led to the development of the tango.

"Most immigrants were single men hoping to earn their fortunes in this newly expanding country." Then I would put a put a summarizing or recap sentence here and include the link to the quote.

I'm still sick, but your education is marching on.  This is stuff we need to do, not busy work.

On page 44-45 we go to Espana  where it all got started.  There are 4 boxes written in a white font and sabes que and para pensar on p44.  Read sabes que and the four boxes and write 2 potential test questions from each box and answer para pensar.

On page 24-25 the chapter is introduced with a picture of Carlos Santana.  For 5 pesos email me or send me a message on Engrade of a Nota Cultural that should be included about Santana.  Offer expires at 11:59 PM tonight.

On page 31 there is a Fondo Cultural Box.  Condense that information into one sentence.  Do the same on page 34 and 39 (don't do the ?s).

1A Test Guide

This test will be Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011.

Remember that Spanish builds on previously learned information.  You should review seasons, months, etc. from the Para Empezar chapter. 

The test will be written in Spanish.  The infinitive vocabulary is basic.  At this point you should know that nadar = to swim.

Example- En el invierno me gusta nadar. Cierto o Falso
The correct answer is F b/c invierno means winter.

You should know that an infinitive is the basic, unconjugated form of a verb, and there are 3 types of infinitives-ar, -er, -ir.  In English infinitives are to + verb.

You need to know how to agree with what someone likes and agree with what someone dislikes.  (Me too in the positive and negative sense.)

Look at the culture notes for this chapter and p47 for a list of the skills you need for this chapter.

Feliz Dia de San Valentin

All classes- Tomorrow (2/15) will be the last day for pickup lines for pesos.  Tomorrow is also the last day for posters. 

Spanish 1 will review tomorrow and have the 1A Test on Wednesday.

Spanish 2 will work on question words & review ir tomorrow.  Ir quiz Wed, question word quiz Thurs, chapter test Fri.
