Inspired Beginners Podcast

Hola chicos!

You are still able to do last week's assignment if you haven't done it.  I did want to give you another opportunity (especially for those of you who are keeping up so quickly with these enrichment opportunities).  This week I want you to go to Inspired Beginners Podcast and listen to it.  If you have an MP3 player you can download it, or you can listen to it through your computer.  The podcast I put on the link is about Ben & Marina's vacation to Thailand.  In order to get credit for this assignment I need you to email me (sherry.amorocho@foresthills.edu) the following:

1. Name one grammar item that Ben & Marina review in the podcast.

2. Tell me 3 things they are going to do on vacation/to prepare for their vacation.

3. Name 1 new vocabulary/grammar item you learned from the podcast.

You can use English in your email and you can listen to the podcast as many times as you like. The podcast is about 15 minutes long, and most of it is in English.  Please make sure you id who you are if your email doesn't identify you (first name, last initial, grade#)

Buena suerte!

OK Chicos!  I enjoyed reading what you were doing this summer.  The next opportunity takes you back to Quizlet.  If you haven't joined the group, please do so.  I want you to create a set of vocabulary cards for our group to use.  Please don't repeat any that have been done already.   Pick a theme (ie:clothing items, food, or use the textbook Realidades 1 or 2 as a way to organize R2L2A --Realidades 2,lesson 2 vocabulary from section A). It is pretty easy to use.  Go to Make Flashcards.  Give it a title that will let me & others know what words are being used.  Make sure "everyone" can be a user and please "share with groupamor8esp3"  Type in the Spanish on one side and the English on the "definition" field.  The top right corner has a tab that says "show symbols".  This is how you can make accent marks.  Please use the articles "el" and "la" with your nouns.  Make sure you see what vocabulary sets have been created because you will not get credit if you duplicate vocabulary that someone else has already put up on our group site.  Email or leave a comment below if you have problems or questions.

Tarea para el doce de julio

Updated on 7/31-- Please don't add any more comments to this post, as I have already read what is on here & will not check back.  Look at the other assignments posted after & work on those.  Thanks!

Hola Chicos!

I've noticed several of you have gone to Quizlet & are practicing the verbs you learned in Spanish I & II with digital flashcards and games.  Please continue to review your verbs (especially the irregulars and stem changers).  This week I would like to find out what you have done so far this summer.  I want you to write between 6-8 sentences in Spanish using the past tense.  Be careful with any of the irregular verbs.  I will tell you a little about what my June was like...

Junio fue un mes muy ocupado para mi.  Después del colegio fui a Costa Rica con estudiantes de Turpin. Nos divirtimos mucho.  Vi muchos animales como el quetzal y la iguana y también vi volcanes, flores y muchas plantas bonitas.  Monté a caballo, tomé un paseo en kayak y hice una gira en "zip-line".  Cuando regresé de Costa Rica, mi papá me visitó por una semana.  Fuimos de compras y salimos a comer mucho esa semana.

Write your paragraph in a word processing document and then copy and paste it below as a "comment". Sign your comment with your first name, last name initial and grade for the 09-10 school year.  I will check back with you on July 12, and will put a new assignment up then.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you :)
