Exámen Dos next week

¡Hola a todos!

Just wanted to remind everyone that, next week, both la clase de 5o y 6o grados y la clase de 7o y 8o grados tienen un exámen (have a test).

7o y 8o grados will have their exámen el miércoles (Wednesday). Los estudiantes already have a study guide to look over and work on to study for the test. Make sure to know what all of the questions mean in the Preguntas section, and to be able to respond to each of the questions orally. Looking over Prueba 3 (the quiz that we had in this section) will also be helpful, and remember to also review cultural readings about Spanish as a global language, Lenguas en Sudamérica (Languages of South America), Día de los Reyes y Centroamérica. Also, know what el Día del Amor y la Amistad is.

5o y 6o grados will have their exámen el jueves (Thursday), but I will start doing orals for the test for those students who are ready el miércoles (Wednesday). Students should review the following items:
Preguntas: know what each mean, and practice how to respond verbally.
¿Quién es?
¿De dónde eres?
¿De qué ciudad/estado/país eres?
¿Cómo eres?
¿Cómo es (name of someone en la clase)?
¿Cuál es tu profesión? (or, ¿Cuál es la profesión de tu madre/padre (mother/father)?)

Study description word vocabulary (on ¿Quién es? Descripciones worksheet):
alto, bajo, moreno, rubio, pelirrojo, cómico, serio, guapo, bonita, simpático, antipático

- Know how to apply these describing words to people (tú eres guapo)
- Go over how we have to change adjectives to fit with the number and gender of the noun we are describing (for example, how does the sentence "Jorge es guapo" change when we want to say that another person is handsome as well? "Jorge y Roberto son guapos."

Study el verbo ser: (in Caja de Herramientas)
- Know how to say I am, you are, he is, she is, you formal are, we are, and they (masc/fem) are

Study profesiones vocabulary: (on Profesiones worksheet)
- Know the words enfermero, abogado, téchnico, piloto, cocinero, fotógrafo, músico, periodista, gerente, escritor, poeta, balarina, y policia

- Know how to say someone is a particular profession (Señora Greaves es maestra; él es piloto, etc.)

Study los países de Sudamérica y Centroamérica, and be able to locate them on a map
- Know how to say that someone is from a country (Yo soy de los Estados Unidos; ella es de Chile, etc.)

**Make sure to also go over Prueba 2 and la Lectura de Centroamérica (Central America reading).


If you have any questions about what you should be studying or something you didn't understand, please leave a comment or ask me in class.

¡Buena suerte! (Good luck!)
