Hola clase,

Esta semana tenemos examen.

SO8 and SO9  this week you will be taking a test to see your strengths and weaknesses on different Spanish subjects.  You will also have a quiz on the vocabulary you wrote down last week.  Study for that quiz. 

You should be working on your projects which are due this week for SO9 and So8 it is due right after Labor Day.  SO9  your second project is due right after Labor Day as well.

SO9
This week you will be assigned your country for your current events.  We will begin reading assignments of bull fighting and other readings so we can start our debates and tertulias.  You will be presenting your paragraphs this week but I am choosing only some of you to present to the class.  You will be having more writing assignments as well.  Oh and after Labor Day we will begin reading El Libro Secreto de Daniel Torres.  When we finish you will do a book report and will receive AR points for it.  So be prepared to talk AND write.  Sometime in mid-September we will begin la novela.

You will be given HW in your workbook this week.  You should have them at home SO9.  The HW will be due the following class.  There will be some workbook pages you will be asked to bring.  Bringing them will be for a HW grade.  These will not be done at home so pay close attention to what you must bring.
Your main hw is to study and to work on your 2 projects.

Current event topic:   one positive and one negative due Monday 09 September since we have 2 holidays the first week of September.

SO8
  This week we will be reviewing past material after you have taken the test to see what you need work on.  We will also begin a review of countries among other concepts.  It seems many of you forgot ALOT over the summer.  Remember your projects are due 04/06 September (depending if you are even or odd).  Come in if you need help.  We will begin listening comprehension exercises next week.  HW assignments are posted below: 

SO8: Due by Thursday/Friday (29 (even)/30 Aug (odd)) practice numbers: (do the exercise on each of these 2 websites) Best to type up your answers on a word document and then send it since it may not allow you to copy and paste.  BE honest and don't see the answers before you practice!  You may email me your answers or  write it on a sheet of paper and turn it in to me in class by this date!!!
