Write down the Uds command for the verb in the box that you pick and that will take you to the next location at THS.  You goal is to find the extra credit opportunity. When you are done, use an online resource to get help with your possible EC opportunity.

Los mandatos plurales

Hola Chicos!

I want you to view the following presentation on plural commands.  You will have a guided worksheet to take notes, and I expect you to answer all the questions on the worksheet and the presentation.  After that you will go to quia to practice what you learned.  A score of 90% or better means you will not have homework.  You can use your notes when you do the practice, but I don't want you to use your partners.

Here is the presentation:

Día de nieve con un poco de español :)

Hola chicos!

As promised here is some enrichment work for you on your snow day.  You need to have this done when I see you in class.  We are getting some help today from Mr. Zachary Jones by visiting his blog and reading all about Paella & Valencia.

1. First go to this post.  Our very own Rachel B from 5th bell wrote the fabulous post about a paella party she had earlier this year. 

2. At the end of the article there are 6 comprehension questions, please go to YOUR personal blog (call it "Trabajo de día de nieve") on the Ning and answer them.  Also mention if you have ever eaten paella yourself and/or if you want to try it sometime. 

3. Rachel says: "Cuando todos mis amigos habían llegado, nosotros preparamos la paella todos juntos." Does that tense look like something you have learned recently? 

4. Now go to this post. Read the article about Josh Rouse & his song Valencia. Answer the comprehension questions at the bottom of the article on the same blog post that you used for Rachel's article on the Ning.  

5. On the same post you will see a "Cloze Activity- Josh Rouse-Valencia". Print the "Cloze activity" that is hyperlinked.  Listen to the song (click on his name & a mp3 file will play) & fill in the blanks.  Please bring that to class.

I will repeat that I need all your work on your personal blog on the Ning & it is due when I see you next--

¡Disfruten y diviértanse con la nieve!

Finish working on your Voicethread presentation. Make sure you make your VT "public" and hyperlink it to the Ning under the main "foro". Look for discussion thread called Los cantantes de los EEUU.

If you get all that done, you can check out the new set of cards on Quizlet.
