MS Spanish

There is no homework for Monday.

Primary Spanish

There is a vocabulary quiz planned for Monday 11/29/10. It will be a multiple choice quiz. Students need to recognize the translations, not como up with the answers on their own for this quiz.

However, since I am posting this so late in the game, although my students were all told about this quiz on Monday, I will let those who are ready on Monday, to take it on Monday as planned, for five extra points. Otherwise, they may take it on Wednesday with no penalty but with no extra points.

The list is as follows:

1. family - familia
2. dinner - cena
3. turkey -pavo
4. stuffing - relleno
5. mashed potatoes - pure de papa
6. cranberries - arandanos
7. cornbread - pan de maiz
8. pecan pie - pie de nuez
9. pumpkin pie - pie de calabaza


P.S. Pie in English also translates to "tarta", though this term is more commonly used in Spain.

M.S. Spanish quiz - 9.15.10

Quiz on verbs in their future tense. Make sure you know your endings! Vosotros will be included.

Robbie and Emma will have their quiz on Wednesday during their study hall. No homework for the rest of the class.

Architecture

For homework due next Friday, September 3, 2010.

Please choose a building from anywhere in the world and write 1/2 page minimum giving me details of that building, including its architectural style, when it was built, who designed it, where it is, why it is may be an important architectural structure and why it appeals to you. Please include at least 5 pictures of your building. Some may be of the full building while others can be of the inside of the building or of some of its design features/details.

MS Spanish quiz on Monday, August 30

Welcome back everyone!

Here is what you need to know for your Spanish quiz on Monday.

1. know how to conjugate verbs that end in:

ar, er, and ir.

Please follow the examples below.

Tocar (to touch)

Yo (I) toco

tu (you) tocas

el, ella, usted (he, she, you formal) toca

nosotros (we/ us) tocamos

ellos, ustedes (they/them, you plural formal) tocan

Comer (to eat)

Yo (I) como

tu (you) comes

el, ella, usted (he, she, you formal) come

nosotros (we/ us) comemos

ellos, ustedes (they/them, you plural formal) comen

Escribir (to write)

Yo (I) escribo

tu (you) escribes

el, ella, usted (he, she, you formal) escribe

nosotros (we/ us) escribimos

ellos, ustedes (they/them, you plural formal) escriben

So, all you have to do is take out the ar, er, or ir ending and add the appropriate ending for each person. 90% of your verbs will fall into these three categories.

As we worked in class on Wednesday, I will give you sentences with some blanks and you will either have to give me the person the verb is referring to or give me the correct verb ending for the person I provide in the sentence.

Ex.

___ corren todos los dias.

Ellos corren todos los dias.

or

Nosotros corr____ todos los dias.

Nosotros corremos todos los dias.

For extra credit, you may try to translate the full sentence (in some cases), as most, if not all of the other words in the sentence should be part of your current vocabulary.

Here are the verbs you may have to translate on the quiz:

-ar

hablar (to talk)

amar (to love)

resbalar (to slide)

brincar (to jump)

manejar (to drive or manage)

-er

querer (to want)

comer (to eat)

leer (to read)

aprender (to learn)

entender (to understand)

-ir

abrir (to open)

escribir (to write)

reir (to laugh)

sonreir (to smile)

vivir (to live)

That's all for verbs. However, if you want to try to get any extra credit, please remember the following:

who- quien

what - que

when - cuando

where - donde

how - como

why- por que

because- porque

now - ahora

today - hoy

tomorrow - manana

yesterday - ayer

yes - si

if - si

no-no

not - no

of - de

for - por/para

all - todo

nothing - nada

here - aqui/aca

there - alla

also review your colors and numbers... for now.

Good luck
