Español II el 15 de junio

¡El día de repaso!

El proyecto - Una historia del pasado:
a. The remaining teams presented their stories
b. Students completed a self-evaluation and a partner evaluation

Hoja de repaso - Unidad 4: ¡Práctica veloz!
Working in pairs, students took turns drilling the vocabulary super fast!

Orales - Using the handout of situations based on all of the chapters, students practiced using the vocabulary and structures for each of our lessons. They changed partners for each situation using the "musical chairs" partners selection process - "be seated and greeted" before the music stops!

"Serpientes y escaleras" - Snakes and Ladders review game played in groups of 3s or 4s. We played the games for Units 1 and 2.

We returned our textbooks to the library. Remember to use the post "Español II Review Sites" to help you study tonight. Final examination tomorrow!

Thanks for being such a nice class - I'm going to miss seeing you each day, so please come by and say hello if I don't get to have you as a student again next year.

Que disfruten el verano - Have a great summer!
