Buenas tardes a todos,

This week, we are finishing up Chapter 2 about our likes, dislikes,  and how  to  describe them. We are also doing our oral presentations in front of the class with our pictures that we drew of ourselves. The students need to have their face, their name, their made up age, their capital and country, 4 adjectives describing themselves,  2 likes and 2 dislikes and tell us why they like and dislike their items. They also need their telephone number or their email address. We will be doing a few presentations everyday while the audience takes notes. This is a culminating activity of almost everything that we have learned so far so it will count as a test grade, the picture is a quiz grade, and the notes are a classwork grade. We started the presentations last week and they will be going until next week.

We are also having a test this week on Chapter 2 on the same things as mentioned above. We have been reviewing in class with partners and doing classwork together, plus having homework that reflects the review. Most of us should be in good shape. It will help if you look over the noun vocabulary, the adjectives, the cultural notes on Puerto Rico, gustar, "de" the subject pronouns, the question words,  how to use por qué vs. porque, "no" and how to conjugate "ser".

Tarea por la semana del 3 de diciembre:

Please study for the test on Chapter 2. Use flashcards if you are shaky on the vocabulary.  Keep practicing for your presentation if you have not already done it!
