Proyecto del Verano – Español 3pre-AP
Sr. Tomás Warrick – (940) 297-9185 / [email protected]
For this project, you may choose one of the following methods of presentation:
 Flash drive
 CD data disk
 Hard printed copy
 Hand – written copy
 A combination of any 2 methods listed above. Please note that, for the essay sections,
you must write them out by hand. This saves time with marking accents (which WILL
be considered gradable).
GRADE GIVEN:
Test
DATE DUE:
NOTES FOR GRAMMAR SECTION
You must create a verb chart (i.e. using all 5 voices) for every single verb used with exception of
the commands. Now, this DOESN‟T mean you conjugate every verb you know, just for each
„tense‟ example. You may not repeat a verb unless specifically told to do, so answer all questions
that are asked with a full and complete sentences / lists.
NOTES IN GENERAL
 The purpose of this project is to prepare your brain for the next level of Spanish.

While I would encourage sharing and teamwork, I DO NOT want to see exact copies of
examples / materials. These will be considered as cheating and dealt with accordingly

PART 2 – Writing
Pick one (1) of the following essays topics and write a complete cohesive essay (minimum 100 words – ½ ¾ page, hand-written). This essay will be looked at for content, as well as grammar.
NOTE: This is to see where you are at, not how good you are at using GoogleTranslate (i.e. writing in
English and “clicking”). You will not be docked points for what you have not yet learned and I am looking
for an HONEST attempt. However, obvious use of a translation device (beyond looking up vocabulary)
will be considered cheating and dealt with accordingly. Remember, you will be doing essays like these inclass during the year and you will not be able to use your phones. Show me what you know, not what the
Internet can do.
