Old Videos on the Big Concepts from the unit that could help!

The videos below are all ones Sra. Moore made for her virtual students last school year when MPS was virtual.
While our class is in-person & some of the things said don't apply in terms of how the class is set up, the vocabulary, concepts and skills are just like the ones we're learning this year! These could help!
The one below covers: adjectives (gender & quantity), the questions "What are you like?", "What aren't you like?" Are you funny?", subject pronouns & forms of the verb SER that is needed to describe personalities. 
Last school year, the partner conversation speaking evidence did not include likes/dislikes as it does this year. Here are examples of the conversation minus that part! You can't hear Srta. Voith but you only need to pay attention to how I am speaking & the quality of answers I give to get an idea of what you're shooting for in your conversations. 
The next 2 videos I didn't make but did use to teach how to talk about likes/dislikes last year. 
These videos Sra. Moore did NOT make but they can still be super helpful!
