Due:

Duolingo - Pres Tense 1

As your "Para empezar," you need to complete all 4 of the lessons for level 1 of "Pres Tense 1" in Duolingo.
I could not make this an assignment within the system, but I get a weekly usage report and will use that to check your work and give you a grade. That means you need to be responsible for getting this done since there is nothing in the system to remind you.
You should work on this while I take attendance, which means you'll also need to pay attention so you are counted present.
You have until midnight next Wednesday (January 20) to complete these lessons.
 
It is your responsibility to complete the assignment on time. If you need to put a reminder in your phone, please do so now.
While I will accept late work, I will not replace 0s quickly since it takes more time to grade late work than it does for assignments completed on time. You should still send me an appropriate email (with a short item in the subject line, a greeting, your message, and a salutation) if you complete an assignment after I have put in grades, but you should not expect a speedy correction to you grade. You will lose 1% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that it is late.

Due:

Duolingo - Routines

As your "Para hacer" at the beginning of class, you need to complete all of the lessons for level 1 of "Routines" in Duolingo.
You should work on this while I take attendance, which means you'll also need to pay attention so you are counted present.
You have until midnight next Monday (January 11) to complete these lessons. It is your responsibility to complete the assignment on time. If you need to put a reminder in your phone, please do so now.
While I will accept late work, I will not replace 0s quickly since it takes more time to grade late work than it does for assignments completed on time. You should still send me an appropriate email (with a short item in the subject line, a greeting, your message, and a salutation) if you complete an assignment after I have put in grades, but you should not expect a speedy correction to you grade. You will lose 1% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that it is late.

Due:

Midterm - day 2

Midterm Day 2 is like Midterm Day 1 (and like the past 2 weeks) except for the specifics. There are 3 parts to your midterm. You may complete them in whatever order you wish (though I recommend starting with Enrique y Maria), but you need to work on and complete them during class time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me either verbally or through the meeting chat.
 
Enrique y Maria - capítulo 5
You need to read Chapter 5 of Enrique y Maria (attached below) and answer the questions in your Enrique y Maria word file as we have done in class.
Remember for the questions in Parte A, you need to answer in complete sentences using the questions to guide your answers; you do not need to type the questions.
In Parte B, you need to type the words in bold in #1 and then your response to each. In #2, type the word in bold and at least one of the words in italics and your response to each.
You need to double check spelling in and formatting of your file. You need to be sure to have completed both Parte A and Parte B for Chapters 1-5.
Please make sure your Enrique y Maria word file is in your Spanish II folder and that the folder is shared with me. If I can't access the file, I can't grade it.
 
Duolingo
You need to earn 20 additional points (XP) in Duolingo in whatever topic or topics you choose. This will make 40 points (XP) for the week.
 
Sr. Wooly - ¡No voy a levantarme!
I have made a new story available. You need to watch and listen to this video and complete Nugget 2 to 800 points (or as close as you can to 800). Remember 800 = 100%; 600 = 75%. Aim for the top.
 
After you finish with all 3 of these assignments, you need to complete any late work.
 
Have a wonderful break! Take care!

Due:

Midterm - day 1

Remember for the questions in Parte A, you need to answer in complete sentences using the questions to guide your answers; you do not need to type the questions). In Parte B, you need to type the words that are there and then the opposites of those words that you find in the text. Please make sure your Enrique y Maria word file is in your Spanish II folder and that the folder is shared with me. If I can't access the file, I can't grade it.

Queridos estudiantes 

 

We are starting a new unit on clothing. I have several assignments for you to do Monday through Thursday. You need to do as much as you can on each and have questions for me when I am back.  

 

  • Libritos 

There are 2 libritos attached to this assignment that you need to open and read. Read each one once, then read them each again, making a list of articles of clothing in Spanish, with English translations when possible. The books are Fido se viste and Mi clóset 

 

  • Sr. Wooly 

You need to watch the Sr. Wooly videos Billy la bufanda and Billy y las botas.  

*Billy la bufanda: It looks like you have done all the nuggets if you had Ms. Belden last year. Go back and get as close to 800 points for each as possible. If you were not here last year, you need to complete nugget 1 to 800 points.  

*Billy y las botas: You need to complete nuggets 1-4 to 800 points.  

*Remember to add to the list of articles of clothing.

You need to complete Level 1 (4 lessons) for Shopping (after the first Family) and Fashion (between Family 2 and Household).  

* Continue to add to the list of articles of clothing. 

 

  • Coloring sheets 

I have left some Días de los muertos coloring sheets for you. This is so that you can have a brain break when you need it, but don’t neglect your work.

Mi casa - adjetivos y otras palabras

I have attached the file we created in all of the classes with adjectives and other useful words for you to refer to as you complete your house project. 

Due:

El proyecto de la casa

El proyecto de la casa

Necesitas completar un proyecto describiendo una casa y las personas que viven allí.

Primer paso

Piensa en una casa. Puede ser la casa en la que vives; puede ser una casa del árbol; puede ser una casa de tus sueños. Necesita ser una casa que puedes representar bien con fotos, dibujos o una planta y que puedes describir con el vocabulario y la gramática que ya sabes con poco ayuda de SpanishDict.com.

Segundo paso

Necesitas escribir 2-3 párrafos con, por lo menos, 12 frases en total. Porque son párrafos y no solamente frases desconectadas, tú necesitas escribirlas con un orden lógico, con un comienzo, una progresión por la casa y las personas que viven allí, y una conclusión.

Tercer paso

Usa el PowerPoint o habla conmigo para pedir (ask for) permiso de usar otra plataforma (con visuales y frases al mismo tiempo). Necesitas una diapositiva (slide) para el título y, después, no más que 12 diapositivas y no menos de 6 (7-13 diapositivas en total).

Verbos importantes

estar – used for location, where a room is in relation to another, where a person is

ser – used for description

hay – there is, there are (e.g., There are 2 bedrooms in the house. Hay 2 dormitorios en la casa.)

vivir – to live

Más instrucciones

You will use your new Word document as a working draft for the sentences. Write in Spanish first and keep your sentences simple. Use the vocabulary list from this week and last along with the adjectives we brainstorm in class. Keep your use of SpanishDict.com to a minimum but feel free to use the review document from before break if you need help conjugating verbs.

Due dates

Rough drafts must be shared with me by the end of class on September 28 and 29. I will proofread through the week. Although we will have other work next week, I will be happy to look at final PowerPoint presentations September 30 and October 1 but will only note minor corrections. You should also use these days to practice your presentation, especially pronunciation. If you are ready, you may present early for extra credit October 2 and 5, and the regular due dates are October 6 and 7 (extra credit for volunteering).

 

Points:

60 points – 5 points possible for each sentence – points will be deducted for incorrect spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar

24 points – 2 points possible for the visuals that correspond to each sentence

16 points possible for the oral presentation – half of these points are for pronunciation, the other half for a well-done presentation in general. That means you need to practice reading your sentences so that the presentation is smooth and your pronunciation is reasonable.

(Note: You MUST do the oral presentation to receive any credit for the assignment, that is, you can’t just do the written part and not the oral presentation.)

100 points total

 

 

If you need a translation of the description, below is a translation.

 

 

 

The house project

You need to complete a project describing a house and the people who live there.

Think of a house. It may be the house you live in; it can be a tree house; it can be a house of your dreams. It needs to be a house that you can represent well with photos, drawings or a floor plan and that you can describe with the vocabulary and grammar that you already know with little help from SpanishDict.com.

You need to write2-3 paragraphs with at least 12 sentences in total. Use PowerPoint or talk to me to ask for permission to use another platform (with visuals and phrases at the same time). You need a slide for the title, and then no more than 12 slides and no less than 6 (7-13 slides in total).

Because they are paragraphs and not just disconnected phrases, you need to write them in a logical order, with a beginning, a progression through the house and the people who live there, and a conclusion.

Due:

El proyecto de la casa, Paso 1

Empezamos el proyecto de la casa. Hay varios pasos y cada uno va a ganarte puntos. (We are starting the House Project. There are several steps and each one will earn points.)
 
Primero
 
Asegura que tengas un folder "Spanish II" o "Español II" y que lo hayas compartido conmigo. (Make sure that you have a folder "Spanish II" o "Español II" and that you have shared it with me.)
 
En OneDrive, abre este folder y crea un documento nuevo por hacer clic en "New." (In OneDrive, open this folder and create a new document by clicking "New.")
 
Nombra el documento nuevo según las instrucciones anteriores (Name the new document according to the previous instructions):
Apellido, Nombre, hora - Mi casa
(por ejemplo, McFarland, Gayle, 1a - Mi casa)
 
y también formatéalo según las instrucciones anteriores (and also format it according to the previous instructions):
Times New Roman, 12 pt.
1 inch margins
heading, aligned right and single-spaced (please do not use the Header function) and including
     Nombre Apellido
     Español II - ___ hora
     Profe. McFarland
     la fecha
body, aligned left and double-spaced
 
Es muy importante que uses la puntuación y las mayúsculas correctamente, por lo menos, según las reglas de inglés. (It is very important that you use punctuation and capitalization correctly, at least following the rules of English.) No voy a mencionar estas cosas más de una vez en tu tarea, pero cada vez te cuesta un punto en el proyecto final. (I'm not going to mention these more than once in your work, but each mistake on these in the final project costs you a point.)
 
When I proofread your work, I will give you a grade for having done what is expected. If you do not follow these instructions correctly, it will cost you points.

Join the Teams meeting. 
 
1. We need to finish any presentations that have not been done. 
 
2. Read "Fantásticas casas del árbol." (It's uploaded to the assignment dated 15 Sep.)
 
3. You have 2 new assignments in Duolingo. Most of you aren't doing Duolingo regularly and didn't complete the previous assignment. These DO count as grades. 
 
4. One last time: Expectations for Sr. Wooly
     Complete the nugget assigned. I will generally assign 1 nugget at a time for a video. If you completed that nugget last year, you need to complete the next one. 
     You need to earn all 800 points to get full credit on the assignment. It's your choice to do less, but your grade will reflect it. 
     If you have a problem getting to 800 on a nugget, you need to EMAIL me with details: name of video, number of nugget, name of activity, some explanation of the problem. 
     If you still don't have an account (we did this the first week of school), you need to transfer your account from Ms. Belden to me. You'll need an activation code for your class. EMAIL me to ask for it, unless I specifically tell you to get in touch with me another way. 
 
5. If you miss class, you should check this webpage for assignments. For the most part, anything I've assigned is explained here or in documents that you can find here.

El proyecto de la familia

martes/miércoles
 
Join the Teams meeting and then work on your project. I will call people to go over sentences or final project, but each person only has about 2 minutes, so come with your most pressing questions ready. If you are not finished with your project, but are waiting for me, then you can have a classmate check your sentences or you can complete the file that should have been completed the week before Horse Show Break. It may also help you correct your own sentences before I look at them so that your time with me will be more productive. 
 
If you are finished with your project, you have 4 Señor Wooly nuggets to complete by Friday at 3:00pm. You must complete ONE more nugget than you completed last year for each song. (For example, if you completed nuggets 1-5 for Los Quehaceres last year, then you need to complete nugget 6 by Friday.) You must complete all 800 points or write me an email explaining exactly where you are having trouble. 
 
jueves/viernes
 
Join the Teams meeting and then prepare for your presentation. You will be presenting through Teams to your classmates. 
 
When we finish with presentations, you will need to finish your Señor Wooly nuggets.
 
NOTE: Keep in mind that if you have time to be disruptive, it means you don't have enough to do. I will assign more nuggets as needed.
