BUON LAVORO!
Intenzioni comunicative - parlare della famiglia; descrivere una fotografia; esprimere possesso (speak about family, describe a photograph, express possession)
If you missed the lesson mercoledi' 10 aprile - here is a summary of what we covered:
- revised the reflexive verbs in present and past forms (see first handout below) then had the opportunity to practice them by asking and answering the questions on page 1 of second attachment below
- listened to the interview (track 2 on disc) - firstly without written support, then a second time following the transcript on page 2 of handout. A whole-class discussion followed to make sense of the interview content. In small groups we than completed Exercise 14, pages 16 & 17 of Espresso 2.
- Information from the listening exercise was put into practice by asking and answering questions on page 3 of handout.
- Next we changed the subject slightly by listening to the dialogue (track 3 on disc) where two friends, Sandra and Tina, discuss what gift to buy for their friends Alessandra and Rolando who are to be married soon. While listening to the conversation we filled in the missing words in the transcript in Espresso 2, page 18, exercise 1.
- A general discussion followed on 'Il matrimonio - usi e costumi' based on the 'Infobox' which appears in the handout and on page 128 in Espresso 2. The class also brainstormed vocabulary related to weddings which can then be used for the Homework exercise - see Espresso 2, pagina 18, lezione 2 (page 3 of handout) You can email your completed exercise to Rosella for correction ([email protected])
- Finally, a new form of the past tense was introduced - see l'imperfetto on page 4 of handout - and we listened (and sang) to 'Volare' by Domenico Modugno since the lyrics contain a number of verbs in the imperfetto form - happy singing!
- To consolidate all we've learned so far you may complete the following: Espresso 2 pages 126 - 128 exercises 1-6. Solutions can be found on page 235.
BUON LAVORO!
