Martes, el 10 de diciembre

I am not feeling well today. (Estoy mal, tengo tos y me duelen la garganta y la cabeza. También tengo fiebre). While I am out, you have a few things to do today. Stay on task and be productive. Don't forget that next class we will have a test and you will recite your memorized dialogues to me.

1) Find the essay that you wrote last class (it should be with the sub on the front desk). Then get a copy of the writing checklist and carefully do everything that it says to do. (If the sub can't find the writing checklist, you may access it from here). Don't rush on this. If you do it correctly, it should take you about 30 minutes. Don't forget to read all of the directions. Turn it into the sub when complete. This activity will help you prepare for the written part of the test.

2) Take the vocab quiz. You will take this on the Examview Player. To get to it, go to the Student drive (S:), Examview, Kanzler, Vocab Quiz 3.2. There will probably be multiple options, be sure to choose the one that says "Vocab Quiz 3.2", nothing else. The password is "cabeza". Do not cheat in any way, the sub will be watching.

3) Watch the 3rd episode of Extra, using your headphones. Scroll down a little on this page and you will find it. There is a worksheet that goes with it. Be sure to get this from the sub. If the sub can't find it, you can get it from here.

Don't forget to come prepared for the test next class. There will be reading and listening comprehension, as well as writing. Use the example of the essay you worked on in class to help guide you as you prepare. Remember our objectives for this 6 weeks:

1) Be able to talk in the past tense about things (especially injuries) that happened.
2) Be able to have a conversation with a doctor about how you are feeling.

Also, come to class with your dialogue memorized. If you did not come prepared today, you are off the hook. If you did come prepared, I apologize. I would much rather be at school than be home sick. If you lost your dialogue or can't remember it, click here and figure out which of the 2 was yours. If you have time, practice with your partner.

¡Hasta jueves!

There are 2 things for you to accomplish before the end of the period today (these are due by the end of the period, otherwise you will receive a zero, use your time wisely and use notes/vocab where necessary). First, you will review a cultural article about one of Mexico's most famous traditions: Cinco de Mayo. Click here to access the article. After reading the article, answer the questions and complete the form below. Then, when you have completed that cultural reading, you are going to show off your Spanish skillz.

1) introduce yourself (name, age, where from, birthday)
2) talk about your favorite foods (from vocab)
3) ask them a minimum of 3 questions (in Spanish)
4) then, translate everything you said in Spanish into English (they are a class that is learning English, so this is to help them out)
