We are planning on taking a Chapter One pretest on Thursday. Students should be making sure they can understand, read, and write correctly the vocabulary and the grammar of Chapter One (which we have been studying for most of the semester). They have a study guide telling them exactly what will be on the test and which sections of the workbook they should study to prepare for each part of the test. Last week, students also had the opportunity to correct and make notes on material they missed on the section pretest quizzes they took in preparation for this test. In addition, we will go over all parts of the test in class. If we have time, we will do additional chapter listening practices with CD and Video.
We also plan to read Esperanza, Chapter 9 during the week and watch Destinos, Chapter 9 on Friday.

Homework, Classwork March 19, 20 Update
We completed more than I expected us to on Monday and Tuesday. As a result, we have time to complete one more section of the Chapter One before Spring Break.
Students should finish workbooks, Chapter One, Segundo Paso tonight (Tuesday, March 18). Most have already done so. In class on Wednesday, we will go over and practice the pretest for Segundo Paso. Students have already been given the study guide for the test. Those who have completed the workbook have been given the answer key, so they will have accurate workbooks to study for the test. We will take the test on Thursday. We will still watch Destinos on Friday.

Homework and Classwork March 10-14
There's a Pre-Test coming up on Tuesday over Chapter One, Primer Paso. Students need to continue to review and practice Chapter One vocabulary. In addition, students have been given a study guide for the test. The guide tells students exactly what will be on the test and which workbook sections they need to study to practice for each of the four parts on the test.
On Monday, we will practice the test orally. On Tuesday, we will take the written test. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as we have time, students will read a chapter from Esperanza Rising and then write a summary. On Tuesday, students will get the study guide for the next pre-test, Chapter One, Segundo Parte. They will also need to complete their workbooks for Chapter One, Segundo Parte.
Please keep in mind, that the material covered in the sequence of tests we will be taking over the next few weeks is not new material. We have already been studying and practicing it for several weeks. The tests are just one more way to use the material and the vocabulary we are learning. Those students who have not yet learned the vocabulary will have the most difficulty.
