Ok chicos. Today we are doing two things. The first skill we are going to work on is skimming and reading for detail in Spanish. Please go to this blog entry, or this one or this one, and skim them to get an idea of which one will interest you the most. Now pick one, and read it carefully. Make sure you can understand it well, and that you would be able to talk or write about it in Spanish using your own language. (hint, hint)
Now using your own words I’d like for you to leave a reply on our class blog or SpanishNewsBites or for those of you on the Ning, start a discussion on Ning. (I need a first name, last initial and bell # for credit if you do the blog option) This is writing that will be published, so write a draft in word, if you need to, before you publish it. Check for grammar and spelling. I’m looking for a 4-5 sentence reaction to the article you read. Use vocabulary from this lesson (6B), include at least one verb like gustar (but not gustar). I’m including how to do accent marks on a PC on a handout for you.
This is due by the end of class.
When you get done with that assignment, I need you to go to Quia, sign in and do the QUIZ called Review Lesson 6. You have 10 minutes to spend doing it, and you can take a second time to improve your score. If you don’t get to work on it for 10 minutes in class, go home & do for homework.
