¡La clase de español!

Last week the 8th graders worked on a review project.  They were given 4 options for the project. Each option allowed them to collaborate and work in cooperative groups while reviewing past concepts.  Here are the finished products and pictures of the groups that required an oral presentation.

2 groups created a flier to advertise what they were selling at a yard sale: books, personal items, clothing, and furniture.  They included information such as the date, time, and location of the sale.

Jean, Maeve, and Maya C.                                            Dana, Del, and Kate

Jake, Sam, and Thomas chose to write an interview asking what their ideal house would look like. Some of highlights from the interview included- a baseball diamond, a shark tank, a large television, and a batcave.  Here is a picture of them presenting the interview to the class:

Austin, Charles, Erin, Maya M, and Penelope chose to plan a surprise party.  Each member of the group took on a different role for planning: food coordinator, invitation designer, guest list creator, decorations coordinator, and activities organizer.  Some of their plans included: pizza, chips and salsa, mariachi music, a guest list including all the 8th grade class and teachers.  Here is a picture of them presenting their surprise party plans to the class.

Ben, Eli, and Joe wrote a role-play conversation between college roommates.  They created a floor plan of their dorm room and explained what items they would want to have, such as- a hammock, a hot tub, a microwave, and a wallaby.  Here is a picture of them presenting their conversation to the class.

Additionally this week we started a new unit on Sports.  In this unit the 8th graders will learn to talk about sports, talk about whom they know, and talk about what they know.  They were introduced to the new sports vocabulary and we played team charades to practice the new words in a fun interactive way.

Home Enrichment:

-Ask your child, ¿Cuál es tu deporte favorito?, What is your favorite sport, and see if they can answer in Spanish.  

-Pick a sport, as your child what they need in order to play that sport.
