Warm up with review of the present. Students are asked personal questions about themselves and others. Practice opportunities of the preterite and imperfect are given in class. Students are asked to look at the scene of an amusing car accident and give the details to a reporter. Students share notes they wrote over the Homecoming Festivities.
Students work on completing their article and have it peer-edited by a classmate.
Peer-edited work should be handed in by the end of class. If students need more time they may work on it and turn it in the next day. This gives the teacher time to edit the work before the next class period. One page is created for each student. These should be typed and printed on the computer.
