Wednesday, January 27th.

Grades 5 and 6 presented their homework assignment.  They all did an excellent job with the assignment.  I am so pleased that students are reading in Spanish.

The home work due February 3rd is as follows:

Students need to write a description of what they see in a photograph from a magazine or other source.  They may use a photo from a camera, for example.  Sixth grade was given a photo from a magazine to use.  Students were provided with an example in class of a photo of a young woman.  The example was:

   Ella tiene los ojos cafes y el pelo negro.  Lleva una camisa rosada.  Es muy joven.

She has brown eyes and black hair.  She is wearing a pink shirt.  She is very young. (This is only an example).  I expect students to write more than one sentence.

I encouraged students to write as much as they can in Spanish and even create a "story."  I gave examples in class of telling which college the woman attended, how many sisters she has, what she is studying, etc.  Ella va a la Universidad de Mississippi.  Estudia el espanol.  Of course unless the students use an actual photograph of family members or themselves, the information they write will be made-up.
