Online Spanish I : Señora Theis theisr@limashawnee.com

¡Hola, mis estudiantes! Thanks for your help and effort in making this online experience successful! Below you will find your online coursework for Spanish I. Please read the following carefully before beginning:

1. If you are the type of person that ignores reading directions, explanations, and examples and immediately delves into the activities to get through things as fast as possible, this is very much NOT the time for that!!! In fact, go back and read that sentence again.   Online instruction means I need to rely on you to show your academic maturity in taking the time to read the info and follow the instructions I give you, as this and the resources I give you ARE your instruction and are not to be missed.

2. If you have a question or problem, email me at theisr@limashawnee.com. That's how you or your parents can contact me.

3. *NOTE- Quizzes, tests, and online assigned 'check-ins' do not "open" until when they are assigned, so if it says "Not available" before the date assigned, this is why. It should become available on the day that I assign it. This is a good thing because I want you to work poco a poco, little by little, so that this info 'sticks' and nobody just tries to complete it ALL in one big crazy RUSH that won't stay with you. I don't want you to work way ahead of me and the 'check-ins' will help me be sure that you're 'with' me.

If I'm not moving fast enough for you and you want MORE Spanish, check out the regular old"Spanish I" class page website I have below (the red background with the puppies) and there are tons of resources and links to extra materials that are totally optional.

Information / Assignments prior to spring break have been archived.

LUNES, el 20 de ABRIL

WEATHER and TEMPERATURE LESSON

1. Watch my lesson on weather expressions and telling the temperature. (LINK 40) Some of you are skipping lessons! Don´t! You need to know this information for next year...plus...you did sign up for Spanish to be able to talk about things like this. When you skip the lessons, you miss a lot of valuable information.

2. Next, watch my notes presentation. Copy all of the weather and temperature questions and expressions into your notebook. (LINK 41)

3. Boogie down with the weather songs. Listen to all of the weather songs and watch the videos in order to hear and practice these weather expressions.   Listen for the expressions used in today´s lesson. Links 42, 43, and 44. Which is your favorite? ¿Cuál es tu favorito? How I wish we were in class together so we could sing these as a group! As you listen, imagine the good ol' days of Señora walking between the rows singing her heart out as loudly as possible. Maybe then quarantine won´t seem so bad ;-)

4. After enjoying the fabulous weather songs and listening for our weather expressions, visit link 45 and play the Weather Concentration Game at least twice! Be sure to have your sound on because they will pronounce the expressions in Spanish and I am trying to get you to hear them over and over as you practice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Miércoles, el 22 de abril

-¿Qué tiempo hace? Practice and Listening Quiz

1. Review the weather presentation vocabulary from Monday. (link 41)

2. Listen to the weather song again. (link 44)

3. Watch Señora´s Weather Practice video. (Link 47) (Have your book open to p. 102.)

4.
Use page 103, part 35 to do the weather quiz. Play link 48. Link 48 is the listening quiz to listen to. Number a scrap sheet of paper 1-6. Write down the letter, A or B, that you need for each as you listen to the quiz (link 48). Then complete the quiz (Weather Listening-under My Activities and Quizzes) with your answers you just wrote down. Submit by Friday MORNING, no later than 9 AM to receive credit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

LUNES, el VEINTISIETE de ABRIL

1. Re-watch links 40 and 41 on weather expressions. Note which ones take HACE and which do not.

2. Play Weather Bomb at link 49 under Useful links.

3. In an email, do text page 103, part 36, #1-10 in complete Spanish sentences, following the model and using correct Spanish spelling, punctuation, and showing that you know when to use HACE and when NOT to use Hace. Only expressions that you learned from OUR focus lesson (as seen in links 40/41 and text page 102) will be counted. Online translation tools and having another person give you answers/dictionaries do not practice these focus expressions that you are expected to know for next year and will be viewed as cheating, and will result in a zero for the assignment. Demonstrate that you know and can use the focus expressions from links 40/41 to receive credit. Again, spelling must be correct, so copy from links 40/41 carefully. If you are not sure what the weather is like in those places at those times of the year, you can take an educated guess. Only answers that demonstrate mastery of our focus expressions from links 40/41 with correct spelling will receive credit. Use of any other source will result in no credit for the assignment...use OUR lesson and OUR focus expressions.

Email this assignment to me by Friday morning at 11 AM in an email with your real first and last name and class period as the subject line at theisr@limashawnee.com and if you forgot how to do the special characters on your keyboard, check out link 12 for a refresher course. I want your answers just in an email or shared google doc and not as a photograph that you send, please, so I can see that you do know how to do the special characters as shown in link 12. Gracias de antemano por seguir las instrucciones.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Watch each one twice. Again, use the subtitle squares.
5. Another activity/ quiz coming up on Wednesday.

-------------------------------------------------------------

CINCO DE MAYO: Celebrates Mexico´s victory over the FRENCH on May 5th, 1862 at the Battle of Puebla and is NOT Mexico´s Independence Day...that happens in September. Check out link 56 below from NBC News for a short re-cap and to see what people know about this holiday!

miércoles, el 6 de mayo

A) If you didn´t watch the Cinco do Mayo video referenced above, do so now.

For the following activities, you can either send them to me in an email, share them with me as a google document, or take a photo and send it to me at theisr@limashawnee.com. Please put your name and class period in the subject line of your email. REMEMBER, the purpose of this is to practice our TARGET EXPRESSIONS WE ARE WORKING ON FROM CLASS (text and links 50-52, on this web page)...as those are the ones you will need to know for next year. ******Use of a dictionary is not allowed or needed, use of another person is not allowed or needed, and use of online translation programs is not allowed, not needed, OBVIOUS, and any sign whatsoever of the above on any part of this assignment will result in zero credit on the whole assignment. USE THE RESOURCES I HAVE GIVEN YOU...this assignment is designed to have you practice those. Again, any info not from these resources (our text, links 50-56, will result in zero credit for the entire assignment. So bottom line, don´t use online translation or have someone else do it for you- it is obvious and you will get zero credit.

1. Read text page 122 at the bottom (blue and yellow...to ask about classes and to respond) Look at what they mean. Think about how you would answer those questions for yourself, substituting your information for the responses. Write your responses.

Examples:   Primero, tengo historia y después tengo hora de estudio (study hall).
Mi materia preferida es inglés.   Es fácil. No me gusta la clase de español porque la Señora Theis es muy vieja, antipática, fea, y exigente. (ja ja ja...just kidding of course!)

2. On page 123, look at the blue schedule in actividad 4. Pretend that is YOUR schedule (horario). Answer questions 1-5 below that blue horario (schedule) that appears on page 123 in complete Spanish sentences. BASE YOUR ANSWERS ON THEIR BLUE SCHEDULE!!! Not your own real schedule! Pretend that blue schedule on page 123 is your own and answer questions 1-5 based on it!

HELPFUL TIPS: ¿Qué? = What?   So ¿Qué clases...?= What classes...etc.

Here is how to set up your answers to help you answer 1-5 correctly based on the blue schedule at the top of page 123. Spelling must be correct to get full credit. Use link 50 to help yourself. You can just use my sentence starters below but your spelling has to be correct.

1. Los lunes por la mañana tengo...
2. Primero los martes tengo...
3. Tengo educación física los.... (if it is every day, you say todos los días, of course! If you don´t have it, you simply say, No tengo ...)
4. Después de química los miércoles tengo...
5. Tengo (name multiple classES here that you have after almuerzo) los martes.

3. On page 123, look at part 5, Mis Clases. Complete the paragraph, describing your OWN schedule (if we were in school) Write or type out the entire paragraph in Spanish, using any special characters. You may make up any information you wish to create your dream schedule. USE YOUR VOCAB LIST FROM LINK 50. Spelling must be correct to get full credit. Again, type out or write out the ENTIRE paragraph. Answers only will not receive full credit.

YOU MAY EMAIL ME THIS ASSIGNMENT (theisr@limashawnee.com) anytime between today (Wednesday) tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday morning no later than 11 AM (but it is very simple and I have given you so many starters and samples that it should not take you very long at all.)

Please note that there IS a quiz on Friday to complete and submit below. It is posted under My Activities and Quizzes. See below:

4. QUIZ For FRIDAY, el 8 de mayo...
By 11:59pm on Friday, May 8th, please complete the easy open note/open book matching quiz that I have posted about school/school schedule/etc. over links 50-52 and text pages 120-123. Again, due by 11:59pm Friday night.
