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

Create a matching game or matching worksheet for verb tenses

If you do a worksheet, give directions of what is suppose to be done.  For example:  Match the correct subject with the correct verb in the present progressive.  Also create an instruction card for your game if you prefer to do the game. You do not have to provide an answer sheet.  Someone will be chosen to play your game or to match the information on your worksheet.  Please use material we covered from last year, including vocabulary.  If you do not remember use the textbook, up to chapter 4B.
Requirements:
You will need a minimum of 20 verbs (conjugated appropriately) and 20 subjects (noun/pronouns)

You will be assigned a verb tense (present, preterite, command, imperfect, present progressive).  You are to create subjects like yo, la muchacha, nosotros, los alumnos, etc.  The second part of the matching is to create verbs that will correspond with the subjects you have chosen.  For example: escribo, escucha la radio, comemos, corren a clase.

If you choose to do a game, you can create a powerpoint and even make it more challenging by making it a memory game as well.  It is like some of the games we played in class last year to review for tests.
Due date:  06 September
Grading:  1 grammar, 1 spelling, 1 completeness, 1 requirement

SO8  project 1
