Spanish
To spice things up, I told their kids to bring their cell phones today. Using some prompts on a worksheet I gave them and wiffiti.com, the students created sentences using the above conjunctions and the subjunctive. I had the projector on in the front of the room, so all of their text messages appeared immediately. Then, they critiqued each other's sentences and copied down the ones they liked on their worksheet.

To finish off the lesson, the students recorded some of the book exercises to my dropbox at
http://drop.io/ When I got home, I was welcomed by the friendly voices of my students practicing the subjunctive and having fun at the same time!
