Reflection on closing, opening and other activities in Spanish class.

Please think about all the activities that we have done throughout the year - especially ones that I have tried to do at the beginning and at the end of class. Rate them on a scale fro 1 to 5 (1 being the worst and 5 being the best) on how well you feel they helped you learn/review material taught in class.
