Reflexive Verb Review 

Hola a todos, 

Thanks for an incredible week of learning! I am particularly proud of your perseverance today as we watched a comercial in Spanish (which you can view in Youtube). I hope to help you today by providing you with a fabulous online resource to review verbos reflexivos. Follow the steps below to review and prepare for your communication task tomorrow: 
  1. Take notes on StudySpanish.com's fabulous lessons on reflexive verbs. Click here to access part one, and click here to access part two. 
  2. Check your understanding by taking two quizzes from StudySpanish.com. Click here for part one, and click here for part two. 
When done, post any questions, comments, or concerns you have regarding reflexive verbs. (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.

La siesta

Buenas tardes chicos, 

¡Gracias por un día de clase excelente! En preparación para la próxima (next) clase, respondan a esta pregunta en los comentarios: ¿Cuál es un beneficio de la siesta? Dejen un comentario en español abajo. 

Hasta luego, 

Profe Pearson

P.S. There was an error on my PowerPoint. I misspelled somnolence in Spanish as somnoliencia. That is wrong. It is spelled somnolencia.

Hola chicos,

¡Felicitaciones por completar su primera evaluación! I am so proud of your hard work and creativity in responding to Josue's email today. I will spend this weekend giving feedback with the goal of returning your papers by next Thursday.

Remember: I am not looking for perfection, but for effort and understandability in your writing. 

Attached, you will find the assessment materials along with the rubric by which I will give feedback.  Please use the assessment with the PowerPoint from yesterday's lesson (in my previous post) to practice your written communication in Spanish. Any extra work you do outside of class will be accepted as extra credit toward your assessment score. 

¡Que tengan un fin de semana excelente!

Tomorrow, be prepared to use the new vocabulary and language structures in context.
