-AR verbs, present indicative

As I spend the first few days of my Christmas Vacation waiting for Baby Bex to arrive (side note: the midwife said to me last week, at my 38 week appointment, "When I see you in two weeks for your 40 week appointment, we will talk about scheduling you to be induced"...I thought it was interesting that she used the word "when" and not "if" haha! Anyway...) I have brought home all of my files and notes and have been deciding what I want to keep, modify, or toss. Most of my old grammar notes fit into the "modify" category, and so I'll be posting the updated notes on this site as I update them. As I've said many times, I still like to teach grammar to my students, but only after they have already seen and used whatever it is that I want to teach them. For example, this post is my updated -AR verb notes for the present indicative tense. I would only give them the notes after we have worked with -ar verbs in the third person form (like camina, cierra, grita, etc.) and talked about how you can change them to say that "I" do that thing by changing the -a to an -o, or that 'you' do it by adding an -s. As I re-do the notes, I'm striving to add a reading with some kind of an activity to each note sheet so that I have a ready-to-go activity for comprehensible input: a little grammar, and a lot of CI! But you don't care about that, now, do you? You're just here for the goods!! -AR present indicative (The last page has a filled-in version of the notes so that you know what is meant to go in the blanks and/or you can give completed notes to students.)
