Repaso de -ar
¡Hola clase! Hoy, Ustedes tienen una opción: pueden trabajar (you can work on) en tus proyectos de países, o pueden repasar (or you can review) los verbos con -ar.

Para repasar (review) los verbos con -ar:
1) Do a lesson with Tonito Frito re-teaching you about -ar verbs, or if you feel ready, do this lesson where Tonito Frito quizzes you!.
2) If you prefer to read a review of -ar and play a game, go here. You can skim through the lesson, and then click "Generate Unique Quiz" at the top or the bottom of the page to test yourself.
3) Another game that's a little easier.
4) You can also try conjugating -ar verbs here. Before you start, make sure to go to the dropdown list below the activity box and select only -ar verbs, and then under pronouns, you can select "all but vosotros."
5) Watch O, As, A, Amos, An!
¡Buena suerte!

Paso 1: Proyecto de Países
¡Hola, alumnos del 7o y 8o grados!
Hoy, ustedes van a trabajar (work) en su proyecto de países by starting to fill out your I-Search charts. If you have already decided which país you are going to be working on, read the instructions below at number 1. If you have not chosen a país yet, read the instructions under number 2.
1. If you've already chosen your país:
Pick a website from the list below, write the name of the website in the "Source 1" box on your I-Search chart, and then go to the site and begin looking for information that you need for your report. Remember, once you find information for a specific question, you should write that information in the chart for that question, on the same row as your source. Try to summarize instead of copying down the information word for word, like we practiced yesterday in class. Use your time researching in class wisely: the more you do in the computer lab, the less you have to do at home!

2. For people who have not chosen un país yet: Remember that you need to chose a país by jueves (Thursday), so do your best to make a decision today. Choose from one of the options below:
a) You may check with classmates to see if anyone would like to work together with you as a partner to research a country. If you find a partner, get out your I-Search chart and start doing the steps at number 1 above together. If two people are already in a group, do not ask them if you can be in their group also. I do not want more than two people working together.
b) Go to the research websites above and read about the countries that you are interested in to try to make a decision about which country you would most want to research.
c) Quietly look at países books from the library to try to decide which país you are interested in.
