Assignments and presentations
Here is a PhotoPeach show of Los Lugares, made by some students
@ http://photopeach.com/album/7dxdpq#spiral
The last day of this trimester is Friday, December 11th.
Homework due Friday: return your textbooks.
Homework due Wednesday and Thursday:
Choose 4 of the places you may have trouble remembering.
Then, draw a symbol (a ring for a jewelry store, for example) or picture and label in Spanish.
Also, please begin returning your Spanish textbooks on Wednesday.
We will also go to lab on Wednesday and Thursday, and after playing new games, you will
take a more difficult quiz on the same places.
Therefore, I have removed the sign in requirement and password from
the quiz you just took on Quia so you can practice before tomorrow, if you have the time.
Also--to those few of you who submitted on the first quiz without filling any in--simply to see the answers--
I realize you may not have had enough time, and that was what you thought you should do to score well.
If that was the case, it was probably a good idea.

Homework to complete for Monday and Tuesday--the 26th and 27th--review all topics covered to date:
On Monday and Tuesday, you will have only twenty minutes to review all topics taught to date by playing selected Quia games. The objective on those days is for you to receive at least a score of 80 on the quiz at the end of the class.
Therefore, it is important that you review prior to these classes.
(The months' quiz for Day 1 classes will be taken next Wednesday, the 4th).
Below this section, you will find icons to take you to presentations on the months.
Be able to list the months in order if given a list out of order,
textbook pages 124 and 125. Many related games are on the Quia page.
In addition, you may want to view this Animoto:

I think this short, true story with photos about a polar bear and sled dogs will bring a smile to your faces. For best viewing, expand screen (4 arrows to the right of where it says PhotoPeach), and turn on sound:
Assignments from here down have already been completed.
Some examples:
Es un pez anaranjado.
Es un burro gris.
Es un león marrón y negro.
Es una mariposa anaranjada y negra. If you and your parents would like it included in an Animoto presentation to be added to this site, your permission slip needs to be handed in with your work. Don't forget, your name and homeroom teacher's name go on the back of the sheet.
Your drawings do not have to be good; as I told you, I can't draw at all. The purpose of the assignment is for you
to become familiar with animals, placing adjectives after nouns, and applying the colors.
We look forward to seeing your drawings!

Generously, instructor Paul Wildergren allows other teachers to use and change his power points to help teach others.
Using PhotoPeach, I put "La Rana va a la Escuela" in a spiral to music. Here's the story: the frog, "la rana," goes to school and finds many class objects. The question before each item asks, "What is this that the frog sees?" The answer follows in the next slide.
To show me that you watched this, let me know where "la rana" makes his new home.
Here's another from Paul Wildergren and PhotoPeach; this time the fish (el pez) was able to visit school.
It turns out that it rained so hard that he was able to go in and swim around. Guess what?
He found some class objects too. Watch this to see what he found, and who his new neighbor is.

Hola.—Hi.
Buenos dias.—Good morning.
