Spanish II Project 2A - La rutina diaria

Spanish II Project 2A - La rutina diaria

In this project you will demonstrate your ability to narrate a person’s daily routine as s/he awakens, gets up and gets ready for the day. A variation may be to describe the individual getting ready for a special occasion or an athlete getting ready for a "big game", or cleaning up afterwards.

Take care to develop a story
, not just a list of activities. Be sure you are including an introduction, middle, and an end to your story. These should be tied together with the use of natural transitions. Why not include some tasteful humor?

You will demonstrate your mastery of your use of reflexive verbs, grooming articles, parts of the body, and articles of clothing.

Be sure to include at least ten (10) different reflexive verbs. At least one should be used with the infinitive construction. Use at least eight (8) personal care or grooming articles and some appropriate expressions one would use to comment on one’s appearance.

This is a combined composition and oral presentation, so be sure to have your own copy for presentation. Yes, this DOES MEAN you’ll need two (2) copies of your final.
