Spanish 1 midterm
Create a dialog using 10 substantial sentences per person using the questions, verbs, nouns and adjectives we have learned so far this semester. Only 2 people per group and it can be done with only one person. You will need to write your script in English and on a separate sheet of paper in Spanish. You may have the English one in front of you when you present. Use props/drawings or real objects (at least 5 props). You must vary the content using vocabulary from each of the sections we have learned. Your presentation is worth 50 points, the script is 25 points and the props are 25 points. You can present in class the day of the midterm or you can video your presentation and bring in the video to show me (nothing in front of you since I can’t verify your script is in English. Look at the following pages in your book that have the reviews of vocabulary: pg 21 (days of the week, numbers and greetings), 47(to like and other verbs), 69 (adjectives and clothing) pg 93 (family vocabulary and months), pg 121 (classroom voc. and verbs), pg. 143 (questions, time, food and places), pg 167 (verbs), and pg 195 (expressing feelings). In order to use all the above content you will need at least one sentence each per section of the book and no more than two from any one section. Your presentation can be an interview format, casual conversation or television host (Oprah), you can be talking about yourself or someone else. Be creative.
Here is an English sample for a partner scenario
1. A= Hi, Jasmine how are you?
2. B=Good thanks, what are you doing?
3. A= I study for my mathematics class.
4. B= Do you like to run?
5. A= I like to walk my dog.
6. B= Do they have hamburgers in the cafeteria today?
7. A= They have french-fries, pork rinds and drinks.
8. B=Your dress is very pretty.
9. A=Thanks, I like your shoes.
10. B= What day do you ride your bike to the auditorium?
11. A= On Tuesday because my sister needs help with her homework today.
12. B= At what time are you going to the library?
13. A= I am going to the library at 6:00 in the afternoon.
14. B= Do you read magazines or books?
15. A= I look at photos in the magazines.
16. B= How is your sister ?
17. A= She is nervous and worried about school.
18. B=Would she like to go shopping on Saturday?
19. A= She would like to go to the movies to see Narnia.
20. B= See you tomorrow in the park.
21. A=Goodbye.
If working alone, one idea is to make is as a letter to your friends or parents:
1. Hi, mom how are you? What do I do every day?
2. First I study for my mathematics class, and then I take the dog for a walk at 12:00
3. Then I eat hamburgers, fries and fruit in the cafeteria.
4. I wear my brown jacket and pants to school.
5. I ride my bike to the gymnasium on Saturday’s.
6. I prepare my homework in the library.
7. My cousin reads the newspaper and I read magazines.
8. My friends are worried about school but I get good grades.
9. I am going to the movies to see Narnia tomorrow.
10. I like to live and to go shopping here in North Carolina.

Spanish II Unidad 2 Etapa 1 Written/Illustrated Project Essay/Exam due date: ________
Use the vocabulary from this unit 2 section 1 to write in Spanish about your childhood experiences. You can interview a relative or you might already know what they used to do as children. Present your essay and paste it on to a manila folder and include pictures or drawing/decorations. Write two paragraphs a minimum of 10 sentences per paragraph. Use at least 15 different verbs in the Imperfect past tense varying the personal pronouns ( I, he, we, they) and at least 10 nouns from this section. Below is an English/Spanish example. Keep the sentences simple as below using the Spanish you have been learning. Do not type something in English then try to have the computer translate it. I will know you did this and you will receive a zero. If you need to look up one word you can but you will see there are many different word meanings based on context, so read carefully before you choose one.
When I was a little girl my family lived in Mexico. I went to school k-1st in Mexico then attended 1st-12th in Eagle Pass Texas. I used to play with dolls and I would teach them math. I didn’t climb trees but I did jump rope. My friends and I would go out and play hide and seek. I enjoyed drawing and behaved well.
When my brother was little he constructed with Lego’s and would fight with me. His favorite toy was a Star Wars sword. My grandmother worried about us. My mother worked and sang at home. When my family would get together, they would tell jokes and laugh a lot.
Cuando era niña, my familia vivía en México. Fui a la escuela kínder a primero en México y después asistí Primero a 12 grado en Eagle Pass Tx. Yo jugaba con muñecas y les ensenaba matemáticas. No trepaba a los arboles pero si saltaba a la cuerda. Mis amigos y yo salíamos y nos escondíamos. Me divertía dibujar y me portaba bien.
Cuando mi hermano era niño, el construía con legos y se peleaba conmigo. Su juguete favorito era una espada de Star Wars. Mi abuela se preocupaba de nosotros. Mi madre trabajaba y cantaba en casa. Cuando mi familia se reunía, contaban chistes y nos reíamos mucho.

ORAL PARTICIPATION (Pesos) POINTS
Participation points are earned in the following ways: L.O. (Lenguaje Oral or Oral Language) Most of the participation points will be earned by knowing and correctly pronouncing a Spanish word that is said to students at the start of class. Students will be given 5-6 words or phrases each night to memorize and recite. 2 pesos (points) will be given if the answer is correct and without hesitation. 1 point will be given if the answer is correct but slow or if there is one pronunciation error. No points will be given for incorrect answers or answers with more than one pronunciation error. More pesos will be earned throughout the week by participating in class.

ABSENCES (MAKE-UP WORK)/STUDY BUDDIES
You are responsible for finding out what you missed during your absence.
1. Check the tray for any worksheets or in-class work you missed.
2. You have one day for every day of absence to make-up your work. For example, if you missed Monday, you would pick up your work on Tuesday and it would be due on Wednesday.
3. Any quiz or test/project/presentation that is missed must be made up as soon as possible after your return. Quizzes or tests must be made up before or after school.
4. Each student will have a “study buddy” from class. If a student is absent, his or her “study buddy” will copy assignments, take classroom notes, pick-up handouts, and call the absent student with information about what was missed. If you are absent and your “study buddy” does not call you, you should contact him or her. It is easy to get behind and feel lost and frustrated in a foreign language class when you are absent. Having a “study buddy” to help explain what went on while you were absent will relieve some of the frustration you may feel due to missing class.
5. If you are absent the day before a test or quiz or if you have a pre-arranged absence, you must still take the test or quiz the next day with the rest of the class. If you do not have your materials at home with you, find someone to bring them to you so you can study.
