TEXT: Terrell, Andrade, Egasse, Muñoz (1998). DOS MUNDOS, Mc Graw-Hill (4th ed.) ISBN # 0070644349.

OBJECTIVES: Students will acquire vocabulary through action, games, interviews and reading. Grammar structures (Irregular verbs, Reflexives, Object Pronouns, etc.) are introduced and practiced and homework will be assigned. Chapters 4 and 5 of Dos Mundos will be covered in this class.

TIPS FOR GLEANING READING PLEASURE FROM DOS MUNDOS:

 Look at all visuals before actually reading text.  Read captions under pictures; find main topics to be discussed in the chapter, ie, chapter sections.  Read titles, short passages--work up to longer readings.  Scan Lectura, Nota Cultural for main ideas, read a second time using footnotes and cognates to glean meaning. Use dictionary as a last resort.  To prepare an activity for homework, read the questions for comprehension and write the answers or at least be prepared to answer in class.  Refer to Grammar section (blue pages) as indicated under each section heading. Do a few exercises from each grammar point. Check your answers in the back (Appendix 4).

2. Have SCCC Media Dept. copy audiotapes and work in workbook.

3. Set up on-going chat sessions or peer teaching group with other students

4. Tutor an ESL student here at SCCC. (see website link Resources. Go to: “Ways to Use Spanish in the Community” for info) 5. TRAVEL TO A SPANISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY!
