Bentoranati!

Bentoranti a scuola! Sara' un anno FANTASTICO!

A few notes:

Please be on time to class.
You always need a MATITA or a PENNA.
You also always need a binder or a notebook. I will be checking them in bi-weekly. You can keep them in the classroom in the file drawer if you are the type of person that loses things.

If you miss class, the work for the day will always be online at ciaoschurz.blogspot.com. Make sure you keep up with your work.

Your grade will be based on classroom participation, notebook/binder maintenance, and tests/quizzes. Most of your tests and quizzes will be online.

Every day will begin with a bell ringer. As soon as you get to class, get to work on the bell ringer. Then we will watch a short video clip. You will need to answer THREE questions about the video clip:
Chi? (Who is depicted in this video?)
Che cosa? (What's going on?)
Dove? (Where is the action taking place?)

After we watch the video, you will do one other activity in pairs, groups or individually. Or we may go to a lab to take a quiz or a test online. Or I may check in your binders.

Today's bell ringer....

Match the questions with the answers:

QUESTIONS:
Come stai?
Come ti chiami?
Com'era la tua estate?
Come si chiama il ragazzo/la ragazza accanto (next to) a te?

POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
Mi chiamo ________.
La ragazza/il ragazzo accanto a me si chiama _________.
Bene, grazie!
Terribile, grazie.
Cosi-cosi, grazie.
Era un estate (cosi-cosi, fantastica, terribile).


Now we will watch the video. Again, answer the following questions about the video.
Chi?(who is in the video)
Che cosa?(what's happening)
Dove?(Where is the action taking place)
