Hola clase,

SO8

This week we will continue working on the school vocabulary.  You will have a quiz on the vocabulary of the back page of your notes (also part 2 of quizlet school vocabulary).  It will be this Monday/Tuesday.  We will also be reviewing ser/estar and expect a drill next week.  This week we will also be doing a reading comprehension on school related topics as well as begin our Hispanic Heritage readings.  You will be assigned a project at the end of the week.  It will not be due until 16 October by 10:30 PM on the portal.  I will place on the portal the instructions in case you "lose" yours.  The project is a powerpoint or prezi presentation.  There is a speaking component which will require you to present.

We have 5 computers available in class which you can use on mornings I do not have meetings and/or if you get to school before 830.  use your portal and your cloud to save your research.  Memory sticks are no longer allowed.

This week you will also have small HW assignments related to the grammar topic and or school vocabulary.  Use your time wisely and do not procrastinate.

SO9

This week you will continue to watch TV for HW.  It is 10 minutes you are required to watch.  If you chose to watch longer remember that is not part of the assignment.  The listing of which show each night will be given to you in class.  I will also be checking what you have so far, so do not try to do all the assignments in one day.  If you are using the same show please remember it must be 2 separate episodes.  

We will begin on the new grammar topic but this week we will review preterite tense before we begin on the imperfect.  This will be the last of the past tense forms you will be expected to know.  One day this week we will also begin our reading after you have turned in your HW on Peru.  You will be presenting your information in Fishbowl format so know your topic well.  The rest of the class will be taking notes on what you discuss and what you present.  A different group will present each class.  If you get nervous or speak low start practicing projecting and calming down.

Next week we will begin the HW for grammar.  I will try to keep it brief.
