la semana de 04 marzo

Hola clase,


SO8:
This week we will be watching "Walkout".  You will have a quiz based on the presentations Monday and Tuesday (if we finish all presentations).  After we finish the movie you will have a quiz on it.  This week for you will have homework based on the topics you took notes on (demonstrative adjectives and direct object pronouns).  You are responsible for that information.  If you are having trouble with it and I am unavailable I am placing links here for you as well.


SO9:
You will continue your work on imperfecto, your recipes and direct/indirect object pronouns together in a sentence.  We will be working on Daniel Torres chapters 2-4 in this week.  Be prepared to work lots together as well.  You are responsible for studying the grammar topics since you will be quizzed at anytime in the next 2 weeks.  Your finished translations will be due before Spring break.

semana de 19 febrero

Hola clase,

As you know this week I will be out.  You will be working on review concepts from last year, such as direct object and indirect object pronouns.  For those of you that skipped a level this will be all new to you so take good notes.  I will leave information on the board for you as far as formulas go.  Watch the videos if possible and take notes on them too.  If the videos cannot be shown take notes on each page from which you have work assigned. You will be responsible for this material so make sure you take good notes.  I will only review in the context of going over the assignments. 
SO8  remember your power point on the Chicano Civil Rights Movement is due to me via email or placed on the portal by 1159 on the 20th of Feb.  Your permission slips to watch Walkout are also due no later than the 20th.  If you lost it have your parents write a note with a signature and phone number giving you permission to watch the movie.

Some of you asked how to place material on the portal.  Here goes :  1.  go to dadeschools 2.  log in 3.  when your class schedule comes up click on Spanish 1 class colloboration folder (it is the yellow one) 4.  you will be directed to a "purple-looking page", scroll down to homework drop box 5.  click add new document 6.  hit browse and find your document  7. hit OK on bothscreens 8.  you will be redirected to the purple page make sure you can see your document with the word (new next to it) 9.  open it make sure it can be viewed.

SO8: HW:  1960s worksheet.  Answer all the questions on a separate sheet of paper.  It is important that you do it so no HW passes will be allowed.  Be ready to present your powerpoints on the 26/27th and then we will begin the movie.

SO9:
You also will be working on review material.  Take notes!!!  These will be the only ones you get since it is review from the past 2 years. For homework you will be finishing your classwork packets on the imperfect.  They are due the 26th!  Also be ready for a quiz on the imperfect when I return. Beginning the 26th we will start working on your recipes!  Be ready.  That week I will assign when your presentations are due.

Current event: Carnaval is due 26/27 Feb  for SO8 and SO9!!! Tertulias will also occur at the beginning of class those days.

If you need anything, contact me via email be good for the sub!

semana 04 febrero 2013

Hola clase,

SO8:  This week we will continue to work on our new vocabulary.  We will also continue to work with the preterite.  We will be practicing the irregular ones.  Expect a quiz soon on this topic.  Your chapter 2A test ws postponed to this Monday and Tuesday.  I hope you have been studying.
Topics to come:  demonstrative adjectives.
As soon as we are done with the clothing aspect of our vocabualry we will begin working on our community project.  Decide what kind of store you will like to have.  You will be making an advertisement for this store to get others to shop there.

End of February:  We will begin to watch the movie Walkout which is about the Civil Rights. You will be having some investigative homeworks based on the movie and in preparation to watching it.  You will need to get the permission slip signed by your parent/guardian in order to watch the movie and all other movies we will watch in this class.  If I do not have a permission slip you will not be allowed to stay in class.  You will be given alternate assignments.  Permission slip must be turned in by the due date or no movie.  If you lose it have a parent write a note giving you permission to watch the movie.

Your next current event will be due: 05/06 February countries: Honduras/ El Salvador topic: community problems (examples: dirty water/ people becoming ill for unknown reasons/ toxic dumping) So8  expect to present in the next tertulia if you did not participate in the last one.

I am placing assignments that are coming up for all of you So8/SO9.  Some of these are test preps.  I will not be collecting these for a grade.  It is a study tool for all of you.
SO8:  go to www.phschool.com type in code: jdd-0218, jdd-0308
SO9: www.phschool.com type: jdd-0408, jdd-0508, jdd-0608, jdd-0707



SO9:  We will be reading chapter 2 and 3 of El Libro Secreto... You will be writing your first impressions of the book so far as well as answer a few reading comprehension questions.  You will be assigned imperfect HW as well as CW when we are not reading El Libro Secreto... Continue using the links provided in order to practice and understand the imperfect.  Your chapter 6A test had been postponed last week; expect it as soon as you walk in Monday and Tuesday of this week.


SO9:  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 (Children's Miracle Network). 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.
