Cambio de planes (Change of plans)

Like I said in class last week, Exámen Uno for 5th and 6th will be este martes (Tuesday) el 15th instead of Monday . El exámen will cover:

1) Pronouns (yo, usted, nosotros, etc.)

2) ¿Cómo estás? and emotions (triste, asustado, enojado, etc.)

3) Ways to say hello and goodbye

3) Numbers 1-60 and math terms (más - more/plus and menos - less/minus)
Know how to answer ¿Cuántos _____ hay?

4)Know how to ask and answer: ¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono/dirección/correo-e/apellido?

5)Time: Know how to respond to ¿Qué hora es? ¿A qué hora es tu clase de...?
Remember that, whenever it is 1:00-1:59, we say "Es la" and then the time, since there is only one hour (it is singular).
Whenever it is 2:00-12:59, we say "son las" and then the time, because there is more than one hour, so it is plural.
Also make sure you know what "de la mañana, tarde or noche" mean (ex. tres de la tarde = 3 in the afternoon), and the terms mediodia, medianoche, cuarto, y media.

6) Question words: Know what ¿Quién?, ¿Cuántos?, ¿Cómo?, ¿Cuál? y ¿Qué? mean (all should be in your toolbox).

7) Review our readings on el Día de la Raza or el Día de los Muertos. Look specifically at what you learned about Cristóbal Colón, and ways that Día de los Muertos is celebrated. Also, look over your Escrituras #1. Why did we talk about going to visit other people's houses for dinner? How was that connected to learning about other people's cultures?

8) There will be an oral part of the test where you sit down with me and ask you questions in Spanish. Make sure to review the questions that I have listed above, and that you are comfortable answering them out loud. I will not have time for everyone to do their orals on martes, so some people will go the following day.

Por favor, let me know if you have any questions!

After el exámen, nosotros will start looking at el verbo ser (to be). Here's a sneak peek via a fun Youtube song. Nosotros will learn a different version in clase, so tu can decide who has the better version: ¿Señor Wooly, o yo?
