 Hints for quiz Thurs:   

For Shayla (asked for white out in perfect español):

Hwk due Tues Nov 20 (given Fri)

We'll be doing a listening activity with the CD so reviewing your (p.268) vocab before hand will help even though it will be open book. Other than that, no specific homework. 

Hwk due Fri, Nov 16  

What do the four words above mean? Look on wordreference.com. Even if it does not give the definition, scroll down to see if there is a "forum" about the word or what it says "google translate" says.  If you can get 3 of the 4 words, it is great : un tuit (noun), un tuitero (noun), tuitear (verb), (él/ella) tuiteó (verb in the past tense in the wordle it is missing an accent). Also - no one (out loud) could give the English meaning of "armisticio" (noun).  Look it up and tell me what this word is in English. I promise you it exists and I'm sure you heard it at least once during our Walnut Grove Remembrance Day Assemblies last Thursday.

 

 

 

 

Hwk due Wed, Nov 14 (given Thurs before long weekend)

Blocks 2-3 and 2-4: Complete the "Video" (5B) worksheet and "Dates" worksheet (Wordsearches only but on both sides of page).

Block 2-2 we had Remembrance Day Assembly so complete the first activity (organize the vocabulary into 3 sections) on "Video" (5B) worksheet into the 3 categories (use page 268 in textbook): para la mesa, para comer, para beber. I will be looking over your ¿Comprendes? answers over the weekend from pages 150-151.

Blocks 2-2 and 2-3 I will look over your rough drafts for "Mi" familia magazine project for Friday. We didn't have enough time to work on it (spent so much time on the songs - "Muchas Gracias a Kyle" for his re-enactment of the song!) so your project is now due Tuesday (not this Friday).

Block 2-4: Since you had a double block today, you had more than enough time to work on the project; therefore, as discussed, your magazine project IS due this Friday. Good copy = 6 pictures, a border, 28 sentences with everything fixed to your best ability: spelling, grammar, and all other criteria met.

FYI: Troubles with "Nada, anaranjada" ? Use "Nada, nada, limonada!" Friday instead.
