Today Tom and I started today's class by responding to questions about the exam. Kara had graded much of the exam over the weekend and reviewed it with students yesterday before recollecting it to finish grading the compositions. Some students raised questions about the grading, yet most felt that it was fair and comprehensive. They asked about when they would be getting them back completely graded. We weren't sure, but said we'd consult with the other teachers.
In the review, we went over changing affirmatives into negative sentences. We also returned to direct object pronouns and spent some time working through the exam questions and also the book exercises (p. 142-3).
After the break, we divided the class into two sections to continue working with direct object pronouns and to introduce indirect object pronouns. Working in smaller groups gave Tom and I the opportunity to better respond to questions and get a sense for the understanding among the students. Most students really liked the divided class for the grammar lesson and practice, asking us to do it again next week.
Students already have the Lección 7 workbook exercises. For HW, we told them to continue working on it and to study and practice DOP and IOP some more. We're now in L7 which is a really grammar intensive chapter (demonstrative adjectives and pronouns, IOP, verbs like gustar, time expressions with hacer, and preterit). It seems like a chapter that will need more like two weeks, so we told students not to feel rushed to finish the HW or study for a quiz by Friday (there will be no quiz this week).
Have a good class Friday.
