7th Grade Spanish - el 16 de octubre

HW: 

Create a chart beginning on Monday, October 20th and ending on Sunday, October 26th.  Write the day of the week and the date in Spanish at the top of each column.

On the left side, write the time of day in numbers (for example, 8:00 a.m.).  Then write the name of the program you will watch at that time or you would like to be able to watch under the correct date.  You should list at least 10 programs.  If you watch a program you record or using the internet, then write the name in the time slot when you plan to watch it.  If you never watch tv but play a videogame, write that name in a time slot.  The purpose is to practice Spanish, so it doesn't have to be 100 % accurate!!!

For help, there is a sample under the 7th Grade Files on the JLCP Blog website.  The chart will be used for a practice activity in class.
