Intro to Spanish - Spanish Ad Assignment

Spanish Ad Project

Students should use words from their current vocabulary lists to create an ad for a store in Spanish. The ad should contain at least 10 items for sale, a picture of each item, the item labeled in Spanish,
and the price in Mexican pesos. Use an exchange rate of 12 pesos equals one U.S. dollar.

To receive all 20 points for the project, words should be spelled correctly, the prices should make sense, and the overall project should be neat and visually pleasing.

The following are some extra words students can use to enhance their ad in Spanish:

“Super Ganga” = Super Sale/ “Tienda” = Store/”por” = for…..”2 libros por 90 pesos”

“ Muy Barato” = Very Cheap/”Descuento = Discount/”Solo Sábado” = Only Saturday

***If special characters are needed such as accents over letters, you can use the following codes or the "Insert" tab and then choose an appropriate symbol:
