_________________________________________________________________________


Today you are going to learn about the different uses of the verb ir. In Spanish, the verb ir means to go.


Actividad 1

Sr. Deems was one of my colleagues when I taught in Chandler. Watch his video to learn about how the verb ir is conjugated, and to hear some of the uses of the verb.



Based on the video, answer the following questions.




Actividad 2


The verb ir is often followed by a. If immediately after the word a, there is the definite article el it forms the conjunction al.


Yo voy al mercado.   -->   Conjunction a + el al                       
Yo voy a la escuela.  -->   No conjunction!
                                        

Complete the following practice activity to practice this concept.

2.    ¿En la opinión de la segunda persona, es una buena idea comprar un perro?

4.    ¿Quién va a ayudar a la última candidata? 



Now answer the questions about the video.

    1. I liked this one a lot better than the first one. It did not take as long and we weren't required to sign up for a bunch of other websites.
    2. I liked how interactive it was. I feel like I got a lot of practice in.
    3. I hated the timed questions. Our answers had to match your answer EXACTLY. So for a few of them, I got them wrong because I put a period, but in your answer, you did not. There was one where the question said Daniela, but in your answer you put Daniel, so that one was marked wrong as well.
    4. I have no questions. I feel like all of the practice helped a lot.

  3. 1. I liked this lesson more, I felt like the activities were more useful.
    2.I liked making the animated video the most, it was good practice.
    3. The activities where you had to form sentences were the hardest because you had to write them exactly how the answer was, I got some wrong for putting the subject in front of the ir verb.
    4.I do not have any questions.

    1) I liked this lesson better. It was a lot easier and easier to work with.
    2)I like the little activities and I also like how simple the anime project was but it was still good practice.
    3)The biggest challenge was probably the technology not cooperating. I did all the activities then when I went back to check them and submit them they were all gone. It also took a long time to load each project and it kept freezing.
    4) I dont have any questions. This was good practice.

  6. 1. This lesson was way better than the first because it was much easier and did not take as much time. All but one of the activities were on the page which made it easier because you did not have to spend time signing up for websites but rather could use the time for practicing the verb ir.
    2. I like making the little videos the most. It was very easy and fun to make it with all the different video setting options available. It was personable.
    3. The biggest challenge was getting the different typing activities correct. This was direct practice with the verbs and you immediately were given the results.

    I liked this technology lesson so much better than the last one. It was a lot easier to use and I feel that it taught me more about Spanish. I enjoyed making the skit the most because it was a lot of fun. The hardest thing for me was the timed questions. It wasn't that I didn't understand the questions, but it was just frustrating because it would tell me that I got the answer completely wrong if I didn't put a period at the end of the sentence. I don't really think I have any further questions about the ir + a + infinitive.

  19. 1. I liked this lesson better than the first, because I didn't feel so stressed to find information, it was less confusing. However, I did enjoy creating blog in the first lesson.
    2.I liked the little quizzes the most. Iliked that we had to form ir verb sentences in a precise time. It helped me to better understand the ir verbs.
    3. I didin't like theskit we had to make. It was the hardest for me, because I had to form the ir sentences.
    4. I'm not really confused about anything concerning ir verbs. Although, I don't understand why hwen i took the quizzes, I kept getting every answer wrong, when the answer I out was the right answer.

  20. 1. I liked this lesson much more than the previous one. I felt I learned much more and feel I understand the subject.
    2. I liked the first video. Voy, vas, va, vamos, and van are now drilled into my head.
    3. For me, the most challenging thing was writing out the sentences, only because it was so precise that it marked me wrong when I didn't put the subject before the verb.
    4. I don't have any questions. I feel this lesson worked very well.

  21. 1. I liked this online homework much better than the last one because it was very helpful in learning the material.
    2. I really liked the video in the first section. It was silly but very helpful at the same time.
    3. I did not like the activities that had us write out the sentences because I couldn't get them right at all. My answer had to be exactly the same as the computer version and that was difficult.
    4. The only question I have: I know that if you have a+a masculine noun, it's al, but is it the same with the ir+a+infinitive?

    2. I liked the music video and the power point the best.
    3. The biggest challenge was answering the question from video with candidates. It was hard to follow what they were saying.

    1. I liked this assignment better than the first one. It took a little bit less time and I also liked that we didn't have to sign up for as many different websites.
    2. I think the power point and the video were the most helpful.
    3. It was most challenging for me to follow what the candidates were saying. The robotic voice was very hard to understand. My computer also took a very loooooooong time to load the assignment page.
    4. I don't have any questions and feel good about using the verb ir now.

    2) I like the video the best, the song is stuck in my head.
    3)The robot canidates made it difficult to answer the questions.
    4) I feel pretty good with this topic, besides the fact I missed a ton of points due to missing periods and accent marks that kinda sucked.

  25. 1. This activity was way better than the first one. The blog was cool last time but this assignment was way less confusing.
    2. I enojyed the quizzes most, they were effective with teaching me ir.
    3. I didn't like that the accents made the whole problem wrong because using accents on the computer is tedious.
    4. I don;t think that I have any additional questions about ir, these activities were effective with teaching me then correct way to use it.

    1) I liked this lesson just as much as the last one.
    2) I really enjoyed making the skit and being creative in what I wanted it to look like and for what the characters would say.
    3) I did not like the activities where we had to type in our answers because my computer would not add in the accents so it said I missed all of those questions.
    4)I do not have any questions. The video was my favorite and I have the song stuck in my head. All if the activities really helped me to understand what you wanted us to learn.

  30. 1. Activity? Way better than the first. i only had to sign up for the goanimate and it wasn a pain at all.
    2. I enjoyed making the video most. and the video about your old spanish teach from 09. both were effective and taught me how to create dialogue and the ir verb.
    3. I really got frustrated when not putting a period on the quizes or the missing accents made the whole question wrong. i wrote the right thing, and i know what im doing, but because i dont know how do do accents on the computer, i got an F on each quiz.
    4. i dont have any realquestiona about ir. doing these activities helped clarify how ir should be used.

  32. 1. This lesson was definitely less frustrating then the last one we did but still had parts that were annoying.
    2. The one I liked the most was making the video that was enjoyable.
    3. Non of this was a challenge what was annoying is in activity 4 on those questions if I made a mistake it was over an accent mark or a period that I didnt put in and some accents I cant put in so it just made me frustrated
    4. I have no questions, I feel like I have it down

  35. 1)I like it a lot more than the previous, although I did not complete the previous, this one was still much easier, aside from the fact that I missed points on the quizzes for forgetting a period.
    2) I enjoyed the "ir" rap and the power point video, those helped me the most.
    3) The biggest challenge was when to conjugate a verb versus when to leave it as an infinitive, or when to take it out of the sentence completely.
    4) I do not understand all of the infinitives and how to know when you need to conjugate or take a verb out of the sentence.

    1) I liked this technology lesson much a lot better than the previous one.
    2) I enjoyed the video about the ir rap the most it was quite catchy!
    3) The biggest challenge was making the video for me, for the cite kept saying that i had to "upgrade" even though nothing that I had chosen was needed for an upgrade.
    4) I still feel like I need to know the when to use "al" and when to use "a la"___

    This lesson was easier to use and get a long with. Some parts of lesson was a little unclear as to how defined the answer needed to be but that is more user fault than the lesson. Over all this is much better than the last. As far as the infinitives and different verbs, its still an evolving process.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well the technology didn't quite cooperate with me, but for sure easier than the first one. I actually liked making the GoAnimate scene, it was really fun. The biggest problem for me was being patient because literally none of it loaded.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I thought it was a lot easier to understand the instructions in this lesson than the last one, maybe thats just because it wasn't vocab. But I liked the powerpoint video and the little practice boxes except it kept marking me wrong because my accents marks and stuff wasn't working, but i did like that i could go back and see at the end of the session.
