Well, we made it through the novel! I wasn't actually planning for the students to get all the way through Chapter 11 today, but they were so motivated that it was easy breezy.
Students worked in pairs to read Chapter 11. They were supposed to pause and discuss each page with the provided comprehension questions in Spanish. Because there was no new vocabulary and really no new concepts, they had a much easier time managing this chapter and really seemed to enjoy it.
Next, I passed out the brief play from the teacher's guide and we did Reader's Theatre. In a couple of classes, I had two groups willing to go, so we had a contest to see which group was more dramatic. They really hammed it up!
We still had some leftover time, so students finished writing their note summaries and turned them in. I guess we'll have time for a fun day tomorrow!
