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!
Websites:
Nations Encyclopedia
Every Culture
Food by Country
Exchange Rates.org
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.

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!)
