When you finish the map assignment, go to wordplay.com and practice your regular verbs for tomorrow's quiz.

See also the links below (in the previous post) for further practice on the countries, verbs, and family vocabulary for tomorrow's quiz.

For Friday's quiz, you will need to study:

• Map of Latin America (countries and capitals)
• How to conjugate regular -AR, -ER and -IR verbs.
• Family vocabulary
  

Click here to practice the countries and the capitals.
Click here to practice identifying the Latin American countries on a map. Practice "Central America and the Caribbean," and "South America."

Click here to practice conjugating -AR, -ER and -IR verbs. Only select regular verbs; don't select the ones followed by an exclamation mark in parentheses (!) because they are irregular.

Remember, you can always use wordplay to practice vocabulary we learn in class. Use wordplay to practice the family vocabulary and subject pronouns (yo, tú, él, etc.)

As always, you can receive extra credit for every 1000 points you earn on livemocha.com

I will be putting your grades in at the end of the day on Thursday!
