END of 2nd Quater's Week # 1; Oct. 22 - WEEKEND

Una carrera de sacos.

We are off to a good start this 2nd Quater!  We will be presenting UNIT 2 and UNIT 3.  Each Unit consists of two lessons, and each lesson will take approximately two weeks to complete.  This means that workbook, and extra point @Home Tutor assignments must be completed by midnight of the last day the Unit's first or second Lesson ends.  Late work or assignment will not be accepted after the above prescribed time.

Students should have known to use this weekend as a catchup time to complete reading and workbook assignments for the first Lesson section of Unit 2.  I provided a detailed reading and workbook guide every week throughout the first quarter of Spanish class to get students started.  This will not happen on the Second Quarter.  Students need to begin taking responsibility and control of their study habits.  A guide will still be provided but it will not be as detailed as 1st Quarter.

By now, students should be familiar with all the vocab and questions presented on Lesson 1 of this Unit, and should have completed more than half of the Workbook for the Lesson 1 section of this Unit.  If you have not done this, I suggest you do so.  Do not wait until the last minute!

END OF 1st QT WEEK # 9 : Oct. 15 - Weekend

Comparar distintos personajes.

This marks the END of the 1st Qt. .. All grade scores for this quarter have thus far been posted with the exception of the Project Paragraph Assignment Due this coming Monday, October 18th.

The MAP POP TEST was an overwhelming success for both the 7th and 8th graders.  The combined scores of this Test and the extra points earned by the majority of students from the @Home Tutor assignment reports boosted students' grades by one or sometimes two letter grades.  Congratulations! Your hard work paid off!  Now, we are off to Unit 2 and 3 for the 2nd Quarter which will commence next Monday, Oct. 18 as we begin the 1st Week of the 2nd Quarter.  Remember, maintaining the vocabulary learned and/or presented thus far in the Preliminary or Unit 1 section, are key components for the successful execution of the Units to come.  So, continue to go back and review the flashcards available at the CLASS ZONE website.

WEEKEND ASSIGNMENT -
1-  Character Description:
Using an image from a cartoon character, clip art, magazine-cut-off, home photo, drawing, etc such as the image above, write two paragraph describing the character of your choosing, its likes and dislikes using the adjectives, nouns and pronouns presented as part of your vocabulary in Lesson 1 and 2.  This assignment will need to be typed using a 12 size font and double spaced if possible on one sheet of paper.

Rubric will consist as follows:  15 pts.

2 Pts. for image selection
3 Pts. for spelling  (including accents) *
3 Pts. for correct grammar (making sure article matches noun's gender, pronoun, verb conjugation, etc.)
2 Pts. for vocabulary usage (you may use new vocabulary, but I want to see the ones presented in Unit)
5 Pts. for overall content and presentation of assignment.

DUE:  Monday, Oct. 18  Assignment must be TYPED and have a TITLE.
A Maximum of 3 pt. Bonus may be given to those assignments that I consider have gone above and beyond expectation.

BEGINNING OF WEEK # 9: Oct. 11 to Oct. 15 2010

Mapa de Latinoamerica

This Week marks the end of 1st Qt.
We will culminate Unit 1 by preparing a Poster Board Project were students will draw, color, paint, or use any other "Art" means to create a visual character or cartoon comic strip of their choosing.  This will be both an oral and written project where you will describe your character or cartoon, and tell of its likes, dislikes, and description of how it looks, using the vocabulary presented thus far on Unit 1.  Now it's your chance to use your creative, artistic ability to have some fun in Spanish Class.  Score will be based on the amount of effort put into developing this project as a whole, not the artistic ability.
