Resumen de la clase
We played TicTacToe (p. 59 in Convivencia) to practice conjugation regular verbs.  We reviewed the exercise "Conversación"  with verbs that are irregular in the YO form (p. 82-83).  We also went over the answers for the exercise on p. 62.  The 12:15 class took the quiz the 9:05 class took on Tuesday.  

In the 9:05 class we talked about gypsy flamenco music and we also talked about the peaceful control of Spain by North African Arabs. Arabs controlled Spain for 800 years, a time marked by religious tolerance of Christians and Jews in a land ruled by Muslims.  We discussed the cultural flowering in architecture, art and literature during that time.  Spanish culture owes much to the extraordinarily beautiful contributions of Arabic culture.

In the 12:15 class we talked about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, about her brilliance, her poetry, and the conditions of her life.

La tarea para el martes
1) On pages 65 to 67 is a reading activity about Mexico City.  Read the descriptions on page 67 and match them with the correct photo.
2) Study adjectives to describe people on Quizlet: https://quizlet.com/_3x618w
3) SAM: Do exercises 8 and 9 on page 165, exercise 12 on page 167.
4) Be prepared for a quiz that will have questions just like these SAM exercises.

OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:  
1) Learning Report #4 is due Nov. 9th.
2) Plan when you are going to vote on Tuesday.  Don't forget!!!!
