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.
