8th Grade - Intro to Spanish- Final Project/Exam

Students in 8th Grade - Intro to Spanish are preparing to wrap up the semester. On Friday and Monday (January 8th and 11th), students will bring in pictures of their favorite celebrity and will be asked to write a 10 sentence paragraph on Spanish describing the name of the celebrity, what he/she is wearing, his/her personality, and appearance in Spanish. Please review vocabulary and grammar notes to prepare.

Over the next few class meetings, we are reading 10 mini "Episodios" in Spanish. Students will be asked to read a portion of the passages for an oral exam (20 points). They will also be tested on content and will be expected to answer simple questions about the passages in Spanish (30 points). Finally, they will be asked to create a mini-book version of the story in Spanish (50 points). These three parts will make up their final exam grade.

To help practice reading and comprehension skills, click on the "Episodios" section of the files.

For a complete description of requirements for the storybook project, also consult the files.

Due Dates:

January 14th (Thursday)- Periods 4B & 5B - Written Test/Oral Test/Book Project Due
January 15th (Friday) - Periods 1A & 2A - Written Test/Oral Test/Book Project Due


Please note, because the book project is part of the final exam, it must be completed during class time. Students will be allowed sections of class time in the next week to work on the project.
