Creative Project Reminder!!

This Friday, you will need to report your plan for your project! This will be a part of your weekly quiz, and will be worth 5 points. Some things to include in your plan are:

-Format (powerpoint, collage, timeline, movie, etc.)

-Countries (are you doing 3 topics about 5 different countries, 10 topics about 1 country, or 10 facts about 1 topic in 1 country)

-How do you plan to do your research?


I want to help you break this into smaller steps so you can be successful!!

Sprint to the end!

We are in the last six weeks of a great semester. You have all been patient with my in my first semester of teaching, as I've tried out lots of different ideas and strategies. Hopefully you have learned some Spanish, and learned more about the world around you! In these final weeks, we will not be adding much new vocabulary to the 200+ words that we already have learned, we will be focusing on grammar from now until the end. Here are some important dates to know:

Dec. 7--First in class test assignment. This is an assignment that you will do on your own and will be factored into your test grade

Dec. 14--Second in class test assignment

Dec. 21--3rd Six weeks TEST

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

January 9-10 we will be presenting our cumulative creative projects, using the information you have already gathered for your project. More information and a rubric to come for that assignment.
