Hola clase
This week is our kick off to Hispanic Heritage Month!!! So we will be reading plenty about people and places that made an impact on what is now the Hispanic World. We will culminate it with a tour through different classes to experience some of the contributions at the end of this month.
SO9
This week we will begin our tour of Spain, assign your Hispanic Heritage project, your extra credit assignment and continue our review of the community chapter. We will continue our verb drills. You will see them each class period. You will also have homework pertaining to the chapter we are reviewing. Irregular preterite is our focus the good thing is you do not need accents bad thing is they all change drastically so there is lots to memorize :). You will also have ser/estar verb drills this week. We will continue to work with the irregular past tense and the week of the 23rd will start your verb drills on that topic. Here are your two homework work sheets that will be due on Thursday. You can copy and paste it to a word doc so you can send it to me or write the answers on a sheet of paper. I will place notes on the portal and will share with those of you that asked to share through google docs (the irregular endings of the past). 2 worksheets due on Thursday 19 Sept. You may as always write it in and then email it back as an attachment, print it or write the answers on a sheet of paper and bring to class. It must be in the box or in my inbox by Thursday 345 pm NO LATER.
It is located on the portal worksheet called: Spanish preterite worksheet preterito indefinido (located after the powerpoints)
Notes on portal are a powerpoint and word docs about irregular preterite. Future homeworks are also located there so be prepared to do them in the next few weeks. It is important you know the preterite well before we move to imperfect. The two links above are due by Thursday!!!
Eventos del momento: You will also have another current event due 23 September. You will again use the same format 2 sets of news one positive and one negative happening in the country you are researching. You will email me the articles!!! (as a link or as an attachment). Do NOT print them out. You have 2 emails to send it to, so choose 1 and send it 2 days prior to when your current event summary is due. TOPIC: happenings in the community (good and bad). They can not be older than the month of September!!!
Extra credit: The 21st of this month is International Day of Peace. For extra credit you will have a poem to recite in each of your classes, with teacher permission and to at least one administrator. The poem will be given to you. You might be asked what it means so be prepared to answer. :) After you say your poem, you are to remind those in the class Saturday is the International Day of Peace and that random acts of kindness towards others and towards the environment should be shown on this day as well as throughout the year. You will then provide them with an example of what you will do to promote a more peaceful and harmonious environment in which to live. You will be provided with a card to get signed. You will turn your card in with the signatures for your extra credit. Please remember to ask your teachers to allow you to read to the class.
The poems you will choose are by: Alberti, Lorca, Cervantes
I have placed a link with the poems for you to start practicing if you decide to do the extra credit.

This week we will begin reading about the heroes of Independence of Latin America. We will also continue to have verb drills this week. We will concentrate on ser/estar and begin work on gustar. We will have some review games to help you with the concept. To practice ser/estar go to the archive section and choose last week's day so that link will come up then you can practice from there. I am not placing it below. Study!!! We will continue working on the school vocabulary as well. Be prepared for a quiz in the near future especially after we finish all the listening comprehension activities and the readings we will be doing. There will be hw this week but it will be given to you.
HW: I am placing the notes for affirmative and negative words on the portal and share with those of you that asked. I will place them this weekend or Monday morning. If you do not want to "Write" all the information or if you are absent when we cover the slides you may print them and bring them to class so you can take notes next to it. I will have information missing so you will need to fill in in class. I will also be placing a hw assignment the same way that will be due on the 25 of September in class or via email/portal. ALL classes will need to turn it in by 1159 pm on the 25th. NO LATER
IF you print out the notes bring to class on the 19/20 September to write the information that is missing.
