Nuevo Año Escolar 2013-2014
Bienvenidos a un año nuevo.
Nos vamos a divertir muchísimo y vamos a trabajar bastante.
This year things will be a bit different. We will have to use this website more since we do not have workbooks. We will be doing lots of projects and more skits. SO9 be prepared your first 2 projects include creating games see below for more details and due dates. SO8 we will start off a bit slower. Be prepared to work. Bring paper and something to write with. Same rules apply.
I created a gmail account so you may access the worksheets and workbook pages you will need for homework and class. In order for you to have access to those documents you must email me under: srasnowespanol12@gmail.com
Make sure you give me your name, period and then I will place you in a share group so you have access to worksheets. I am hoping it is easier than placing it on the portal. If and when I have time I will also place them there as well. I might place them 1x a month. There will be extra work since I am not sure what I will use. It is always good practice before exams. So HW #1 email me by: 06 September 2013 by 1159 pm. It will be for a grade.
Textbook is located on dadeschools. If you want a hard copy see me 2nd week of school.
EVERYONE will have Current events and participate in Tertulias :) Be ready to speak!!!
OH and of course NO LATE WORK!!!
SO9 say good bye to English Fridays. Enjoy our first week of class that will be your only English for a bit. English days will have to be earned this year or it will cost you a peso.
SO8: You will have Mon-Wed Spanish and Thurs-Fri English for this 9 weeks. Next 9 weeks will begin with only English Fridays.
Yes, we will have pesos but unfortunately we will not have homework passes anymore.
See you on the 19th CAN'T WAIT!!!
SO9: Your first project DUE: last Monday of August (August 26th)
You will create a flash card game, some type of color coding is needed to distinguish each part of the sentence. So color a border around the verb cards or use different color paper; do the same for the noun cards. It is up to you. You will also need one card with your name and period 1.
AOI: Human Ingenuity
Card labels:
1. Me gusta(n)/ No me gusta(n) (one card with each- total 4 cards)
2. verbs (related to the following vocabulary topics: school, chores, T.V. & movies, shopping, sports)
3. nouns (vocabulary: food, drinks, activities, animals, music, movies, games, shopping)
For the verb and noun cards: you will need to create 3 cards per vocabulary topic. Remember verbs will remain in the infinitive.
Example: card 1: Me gusta verb card: jugar baloncesto
Example: card 1: No me gustan noun card: los programas de comedia
Again: each topic above will have 3 cards + you will have 4 cards for the gustar (one singular and one plural)= total of cards: 30 + 4 (some topics are repeated so they will count for both verbs/nouns)
Best way to do this project is to create a table on word type each card in a different box and then print. Once you print them, cut them out and color them or put a sticker, etc. some way to differentiate between piles. Each pile should also be separated by a paper clip or rubber band.
Grading: 1 for requirement, 1 for spelling, 1 usability
On the 26th you will present your project to a group of students. They will have to be able to form sentences with your cards.
SO9
Project #2: AOI: Human Ingenuity, ATL

Hola clase,
This week we will check all the classwork assignments we have not finished checking. We will review direct object and indirect object pronouns. (For practice see links on last week's blog) Since the 9 weeks is at the end, I decided not to give a 9 week exam this time and instead you will have the 9 week exam plus all the material covered up to progress report of next 9 weeks. This will be a cumulative exam for 14weeks worth of material. Start preparing now and yes, WalkOut will also be on that exam.
SO8:
This week we will work on demonstratives and direct object pronouns and begin with indirect object pronouns. Be prepared for pop quizzes this week on those topics. You will have homework each night, this is the price so you do not have work over Spring Break. We will also begin imperfect tense in the next 2 weeks. Be prepared to work until the end.
SO9:
We will finish our translations this week of your recipes and begin the community service project (the Cookbook) this week. Next week you will present and begin working on your recipe demonstrations.

This week: Your projects are due and we will continue working on the past tense. Start preparing for the chapter test. You will be testing next week.
The last week of this month we will begin reading our book El Libro Secreto de Daniel Torres. As we read you will be assigned vocabulary to define and translate. Yes, you will be doing both, a Spanish definition and a translation but expect on quizzes the definitions in Spanish. Based on the book you will also be working with grammar. You will need to be able to identify the present, present progressive, preterite and the imperfect in the reading. It will take us a while to read this book since we are only reading for part of the class each day. There will be reflections assigned and other related activities to the reading.
Our next big grammar topic will be the imperfect. You will be assigned videos to watch and take notes on. You will then be asked to explain it to a classmate and compare your explanation with their's and figure out if you are both correct or semi-correct. This will be one of our tertulias. Be prepared for lots of work with this tense since it is important. Once you feel confident with this grammar topic you will be asked to create a mini video to present to the SO8 class who will begin learning the concept shortly. For the mini video you will once again work in pairs. You will provide examples, show the difference between it and the preterite, explain its purpose, etc. In order to film you will have the option of using the classroom/ board etc. before class on the dates assigned. you can also do it on your computer with a camera if you so wish. We will discuss this soon but be prepared.
We will then return to food and the formal commands to make sure you understand it well. For this topic, we will be helping in a healthy food project for a local children's hospital. You will be given community service hours and recognition for your participation in the acknowledgment section of the book, once published. So we have a busy 9 weeks.
