Students are finishing up the clothing and fashion unit on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week when they share their clothing store dialogues. They need to be done in video form or live and memorized. Students should use appropriate props. Students worked with the song Plástico by Rubén Blades this week, and had 1 or two class periods where they had opportunities to read their book of choice in Spanish and work on related activities. Students will be receiving oral speaking grades for talking about the chapters they read. They are also completing choice writing activities for which they will be receiving regular one on one feedback. Next week we will begin a new unit. Students will be learning vocabulary and doing activities to help them understand the storyline for a video called Cuerdas.
There is some intense competition going on Memrise and Duolingo! Some students have already started their second Spanish book after only 3 days of independent reading time and I just ordered some new books. I love seeing the kids digging into the books and taking charge of their learning outside of the classroom!
