1. Write a short email/letter to your teacher tell her why YOUR are the best
student she will have. Include as many interesting things about yourself as to
why you will stand out to her. Your letter/email needs to be in Spanish and
needs to be at least 40-60 words.
2. Do the translation sentences. Do NOT use google translate, any other
translation site, or a native speaker (unless you are a native speaker).
3. Make the following folders if you do not already have them:
a. Present tense folder
b. “Other” tenses folders
c. Preterite vs Imperfect Folder- you should already have this. As long as you
have it, you do not have to make another one. (If you need the notes for this,
see Mrs. Strickland and they are on the website.)
d. Subjunctive folder- If you had Spanish 4 this year, you should still have it.
(If you need the notes for this, see Mrs. Strickland and they are on the
website.)
4. Start the country project where you will be “teaching” the class about your
country throughout the year in English.
5. Study the vocabulary units: sports, fashion, science, pop culture, some jobs.

9. Practice with quizlet vocab. Go onto my quizlet and practice the vocab for Spanish 3, 4,

10.You can also practice VHL. I made a VHL course where I can assign you practice
assignments to review grammar and vocab. It is a good idea to do these. The course is in the
Descbure 3 book, named AP Spanish review.

Every Friday we will have Culture Fridays. On these days, you will teach the class about the
culture, products, and practices of the country in English. You will need to present the following:

Countries and their culture1. One song with cloze activity for class to do
2. TV show OR movie with an actor OR actress. You can show a school appropriate clip if you’d
like. As of May 18, 2017, I can access you tube.
3. Discuss 3 different sports in the country AND AN athlete.
4. Volunteer organization in and native to the country and what they do/specialize in (not
American organizations that go to the country)
5. A natural disaster that has occurred in the country- show pictures

* An activity for us to do that is FUN to do that involves the class that has a cultural experience or
something to do with a celebration in the country. Every group CANNOT do a dance. After so many
dances, I will say no more dances. IF you do a dance, you cannot just show a you tube video and let
the video lead. You need to learn the dance, do it, teach us how to do it, etc. See Mrs. Strickland
for ideas other than dances.
