Me gustan los aztecas

Intro to Spanish:

Today we practiced Me gusta and no me gusta in class. Please have your students go over pages 17--20 in their books. Remember that gusta becomes gustan when referring to more than one think being liked: eg. Me gusta el perro (I like the dog) vs. Me gustan los perros (I like dogs). Also please complete watching the video we started in class, with Tina, fruits and juice.

Intermediate Spanish:

Today we learned about the Maya in our class and took a look at a facsimile of the Dresden Codex (a 12th century pre-Columbian Maya book). Please in preparation for next class watch the video below and think of the similarities and differences between the Maya and the Aztecs. Aslo, go over the personal pronouns in  pages 22 and 23 of your book (and yes, you will have to learn the vosotros, vosotras informal plural second person (think y'all, if that helps).
