Hola a todos, 

La tarea de esta noche es analizar una cita de un artículo sobre el país Colombia y sus problemas ambientales. Puedes acceder al artículo al hacer clic aquí. Primero, lee y comprende la cita. Segundo, decide cuál es el propósito del autor: persuadir, informar o entretener. Tercero, explicar por qué piensas eso. 

Al final, deja una respuesta al comentario de un amigo. Usa las siguientes oraciones para ayudarte a responder de forma apropiada: 
  • "Estoy de acuerdo porque... "
  • "No estoy de acuerdo porque..." 

Cita: “Entre los conflictos ambientales se señala el poco control de la expansión urbana sin analizar la oferta de agua de la región...” – Elpais.com

Abrazos,

Subjunctive Review 

Buenas tardes alumnos, 

¡Espero que estén bien! We have worked hard over the past two weeks to dive into the subjuntivo  in Spanish, and I see a lot of growth in your speaking and writing. I am proud of you all! In order to help support your learning, I have attached the following links to virtual learning resources on the subjunctive. Follow these four steps below to review the subjunctive: 
  1. Take notes on StudySpanish.com's fabulous intro lesson on the subjunctive by clicking here.  
  2. Check your understanding by taking this quiz. Correct all errors that come up. 
  3. Take notes on StudySpanish.com's lesson on conjugating in the subjunctive mood by clicking here.
  4. Check your understanding by taking this quiz. Correct all errors that come up. ​

When done, post any questions, comments, or concerns you have regarding the subjunctive and verbs with emotion. (See my sample comment as an example.)

Hasta mañana, 

Profe Pearson

P.S. You will only be able to use your notes from this activity and your interactive notebook on the communication task on Friday.

Buenas tardes alumnos, 

Espero que hayan aprendido bastante de las actividades de clase hoy. Todo lo que hicimos fue para darles una idea más clara de la región andina y su impacto en Latinoamérica. Si quieren repasar el video que vimos en clase de nuevo, hagan click aquí. 

Abajo, dejen un comentario respondiendo a la siguiente pregunta: ¿Que te sorprende sobre los Andes? No se olviden de usar el subjuntivo cuando respondan. 

Abrazos,

Subjuntivo - Class Preparation Work [Due 8/18/16]

8/16/2016

Hola chicos, 

¿Cómo están? I write to provide more details on how you will prepare for class this Thursday. One important concept you must know for this unit is the subjunctive. We will spend much of this unit talking about how to use this Spanish "mood." However, you need to know the mechanics of how to change a verb into the present subjunctive. 

Your job is to prepare for our lesson on Thursday by studying the present subjunctive and how it is created. In order to be prepared for class, please take at least one full page of notes on the subjunctive using the following resources in the order provided:
  1. "Introduction to the Present Subjunctive" - This Youtube video provides excellent background information on the subjunctive. Click here. 
  2. "How to form the Present Subjunctive" - This Youtube video gives clear instructions on the steps to create a subjunctive conjugation. Click here. 
  3. "Spanish Present Subjunctive" - This website provides a written description with the added benefit of a practice exercise. Click here. 
Bring your notes and any questions you have to class. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] for any questions or concerns. I look forward to practicing Spanish with you on Thursday!

Saludos, 

Profe Pearson
