I plan on giving the third graders an informal evaluation on the following days:
Hensler: Wednesday, 5/19
Wolfrath: Thursday, 5/20
Laduke: Friday, 5/21
This evaluation will be on the Spanish Definite Articles. I'll give the students a list of ten words, and I'll ask them to write the correct definite article in front of the word.
About Definite Articles:
There are four ways to say "the" in Spanish. These are "el","la","los," and "las."
All masculine singular(one thing) words take "el" in front of the noun.
Example: el perro/the male dog
All feminine singular words take "la" in front of the noun.
Example: la perra/the female dog
By adding an "s" at the end of the word, we make it plural(more than one). And if it's masculine, it'll take "los" in front.
Example: los perros/the male dogs
If the word's feminine and plural, it'll take "las" in front of it.
Example: las perras/the female dogs
HOWEVER: THERE ARE SOME WORDS THAT DON'T FOLLOW THESE RULES.
Example: el día / the day, el mapa / the map, el agua/the water
STUDY LIST (The words may not necessarily be in this order on the evaluation, and are taken from the song "Una pera y dos bananas.")
la pera - the pear
las peras - the pears
la banana - the banana
las bananas - the bananas
el peso - the dollar (or Mexican dollar)
los pesos - the dollars
el beso - the kiss
los besos - the kisses
el día - the day
los días - the days
¡Buena suerte! / Good luck!
