Hola Estudiantes,

Hw # 14 (Week 25) will be due on Tuesday January 26
Pictionario 2: will be due on Wednesday January 27.
If you turn in these assignments after the mentioned dates, you will not get full credit.

Es un perro o gato / Yo no tengo       mascotas

**Students, You have to write and answer "Trabajo Inicial" daily. This is part of the class assignments. I will collect this everyday. We will not correct this work all the time on the board like I used to do last semester.   No make-up for Trabajo Inicial. Remember: you need to come in to class, take your "portafolio", sit down and  write: Date + Instructions + answers. (Sorry no time for socializing) ***REMINDER: FAILING TO WRITE INSTRUCTIONS WILL GET YOU A 75% OF THE FULL CREDIT***                               ***WRITE YOUR NAME WHEN YOU TURN

PROJECT #3: KNOWING MORE ABOUT SPANISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES
                         CONOCIENDO MAS SOBRE LOS PAISES HISPANOS HABLANTES

We will start working on this project on Friday this week. Rubric will be handed to the students  as well this week.

Presentations will start on February 25 - May 6 2016. Sra Garzon will present her project next week so you have an idea what she is expecting from you all.       

1. MI PRIMER LIBRO VIRTUAL / MY FIRST VIRTUAL BOOK:  http://www.zooburst.com

ZooBurst is a digital storytelling tool that lets anyone easily create his or her own 3D pop-up books.

Once constructed, books can be inspected from any angle from within a 3D space, and rotating around a book is as easy as dragging and dropping a mouse. Each character can have its own 'chat bubble' that pops up when that character is clicked. In addition, authors can also record their own voices using the ZooBurst audio recorder to have their characters really 'speak' when clicked!  

Vamos a empezar la Unidad #3 / We will start unit #3 this week
