Unit 4 Can-Do Statements

Hola chicos, 

Below you will find a combination of statements that describe many of the skills and language abilities we have developed this unit. Choose five for which you have good evidence (i.e. photos, videos, audio clips, etc.), and describe your progress in your digital portfolio housed in our Google Classroom. Be sure to rely on more than your description of the activity, and include physical (or digital) evidence of your work. 

You may come back to this at home or in your spare time at school (homework club, lunch, library time) to finish this. However, you are responsible for speaking with me if there are any personal barriers to your ability to complete this assignment. Once done, log into Google Classroom and submit the assignment called "Unit Four Digital Portfolio Check-In."
