1. WORK ON THE NATIVE SPEAKER INTERVIEWS ESSAY DUE BY 3PM ON 9/28!!
NATIVE SPEAKER INTERVIEWS ESSAY: DUE DATE IS SEPT.28.
Once you have completed your interviews and have organized your notes taken,
write a well-organized Spanish essay of no more than 2 typed pages explaining
and comparing the content discussed during the interviews. Essays must be
typed using Times New Roman and 12 font with appropriate margins and rules
discussed in English classes. In the essays use good transitional expressions
to connect your ideas, advanced grammar structures and syntax (namely, a
variety of verb tenses and new vocabulary expressions where applicable), and a
nice comparison and synthesis of content ideas and topics discussed during the
interview process. It is always good to use the subjunctive mood and various
forms of the imperfect vs. the preterite, as this demonstrates a higher level
of thinking in Spanish essays/written comprehension.
Please provide a cover sheet detailing the following information:
--The name(s) of the native speaker(s)
--Country of birth/other places lived
--Contact information…phone, address, e-mail, or place of work
--Specific dates, times, locations of interviews…(a log journal)

NATIVE SPEAKER INTERVIEWS ESSAY: DUE DATE IS SEPT.30 BY 3PM!
Once you have completed your interviews and have organized your notes taken,
write a well-organized Spanish essay of no more than 2 typed pages explaining
and comparing the content discussed during the interviews. Essays must be
typed using Times New Roman and 12 font with appropriate margins and rules
discussed in English classes. In the essays use good transitional expressions
to connect your ideas, advanced grammar structures and syntax (namely, a
variety of verb tenses and new vocabulary expressions where applicable), and a
nice comparison and synthesis of content ideas and topics discussed during the
interview process. It is always good to use the subjunctive mood and various
forms of the imperfect vs. the preterite, as this demonstrates a higher level
of thinking in Spanish essays/written comprehension.
Please provide a cover sheet detailing the following information:
--The name(s) of the native speaker(s)
--Country of birth/other places lived
--Contact information…phone, address, e-mail, or place of work
--Specific dates, times, locations of interviews…(a log journal)
--Your Spanish name/English last name, date due, class name and block.
Dictionaries and any other help/references can be used…except no help from
