Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow

Hola Chicos!


I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.  At this time all summer enrichment work is done, graded and recorded.  20% of my future Spanish III students did at least one of the activities and 10% earned a quiz coupon.  Thank you all for practicing and using a little español this summer.  Here is the final Mixbook that you put together.  

Hablamos mañana :)

Last summer enrichment activity

Well Chicos, we are almost back to school!  I have one last activity for you.  I would like you to be guinea pigs for an oral activity I plan on using next year.  At the bottom of the post is a "Google Widget" that says "Call me"  I'd like you to use it to call me and then in ESPAÑOL leave a message telling me the following:

your name
a short description of yourself
identify and describe something/someone that is very important to you
your favorite activity
something you don't like

If you have a cell phone with texting, use your cell phone to call.  If you don't have a cell or texting you can use your home phone.  At the end of the week, I will send a text message to the number you called from letting you know I received your message.  Please don't mark "keep number private" unless you don't want me to text you back.

I hope to be able to send text messages with information next year, and you are helping work out any problems with this system by being mis pequeños "guinea pigs" :)  I also hope to give oral homework next year, and this is the system that we will be using.  Please email me or leave a comment below with any problems. 

Gracias!  I look forward to meeting you soon!

I Spy Digital Book

If you haven't done the Podcast assignment, you can still complete.  Look at the previous entry for directions.

Your next assignment is to make a digital I Spy book.  Please go to this link to see an example.  Now you guys need to do one in Spanish.  You can pick any vocabulary you learned already.  Just make sure you don’t repeat something that another student has used.  You need to do 1 page & include 8 words and photos/stickers.  You can upload images or use the ones provided.  Make sure you sign your name to get credit (first name, last initial, grade#)



I started the book for you here.  Start your sentences with “Con mi ojo veo, veo...” Please do not edit someone else's page.  As I played with it, I found out that if you put a photo or text on top of your work you will lose it unless you "undo" right away.  It asked me to invite collaborators by email.  I sent a few out, but if you didn't get an invite, email me your address so I can add you as a collaborator.  I don't think accent mark will be supported in this application. :(
