A few posts back I commented on how my Spanish 3 students are overgeneralizing and I’m getting “Yo es” all over the place. Since I made lots of comments about it I’ve seen less. But I noticed something today–my Spanish 1 cherubs are doing it. I haven’t taught Spanish 1 in three years and never communicatively, so I don’t know if this is normal, but it seems awfully fast for such a process to happen and actually makes me happy! 🙂
On another note, they’re slowly distinguishing between es and está. I’m eager for next semester when I let them loose on their own on the blog posts, so I can see what they can write. So far I’m really liking how communicative this class is. They blow me away.
Incidentally, this is the quiz they took today, for working on es/está.
1. Es Raúl un chico o una chica?
2. ¿Es Nicolía rubia o morena?
3. ¿Está Paco en la escuela o en casa?
4. ¿Está Jorge feliz o triste?
5. ¿Es Laura alta o baja?
6. ¿Quién es el estudiante más guapo en esta clase?
