Buenas tardes a todos,
As I mentioned last week in my blog, the estudiantes this week will be creating a drawing of themselves and practicing for their oral presentations in front of the class. Today, I passed out the rubric and the paper on which I would like them to draw their head. We started the actual drawing in class and those who used their time wisely were able to complete many of the requirements of the rubric. We will presenting 5 to 7 posters every day this week and it will count as a test grade. Please review the rubric with your student if you have any questions. I showed them models of what I wanted in class. The poster needs to be in color. There will also be a quiz on Friday, December 9 on gusta, adjectives, the preposition "de"and its uses, and the pronouns me,te, le, nos, os, les, plus the vocab from pgs 56 and 57.
Homework for the week of 12-5-11:
Monday night: Finish poster of yourself in color. The only words on it should be your first name and the capital and country. Also, December calendar is due with 8 holiday items in color and numbers in Spanish.
Tuesday night: Finish the packet -the only page that should be left is page 24. I will be collecting it soon.
Wednesday night: Finish vocabulary sheet 2A which should be the bottom half. Study for quiz on 12/9.
Thursday night: In the book page 65 exercise 33, and page 71 exercise 4. Study for quiz tomorrow.
As of right now, the chapter 2 test will still be on Wednesday, December 14. I reserve the right to move it in either direction depending on how we progress with the presentations and other exercises.
We are still working together with partners, groups, individual and whole class activities which the students seem to be enjoying. We have been having a student from Rivier College observing and helping out a bit 3 days per week. She will possibly be here student teaching in the spring semester. We will see.
Upcoming events: Holiday traditions is various hispanic countries, making tin ornaments, and comprehension videos on chapter 2.
