We reviewed question words last week.  Rather than pre-learning for next week, take some time to do some vocab activities or other practice.  It's great to see how conversational ya'll are getting.  It's important to maintain practice and exposure!  Here's some resources for that:

Next class, we will:
  • review question words and practice basic questions and verbs
  • introduce adverbs of frequency to incorporate in questions and answers
  • start working on prepositions and places in a city 
Also, here's the conversation starters I keep forgetting to bring!
