SPANISH ACTIVITY, 4/28/20

1. Watch the video on Seesaw.
2. This week, your assignment is to do something Spanish-related for FIVE (5) days in a row. You can do the same activity each day for five days, or you can mix it up, and choose a different activity each day from the list below.
3. Have your own ideas? Let me know! You can post EACH DAY on Seesaw what you did (on the journal feed), or wait until the end of the week to respond to this activity and share a slideshow of all of your activities. Good luck! ¡Buena suerte! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Here are A FEW IDEAS:

1. Write out 10 sentences in Spanish each day. They can be silly or serious!
2. Cook/bake/make/eat a Spanish recipe.
3. Work on Duolingo (or Memrise) for 10 minutes each day.
4. Watch another movie with Spanish voiceover and English subtitles.
5. Listen to the entire Spanish Summit playlist of songs HERE. You can’t leave the room–actually listen!!
6. Video yourself shouting, “¡El chico come manzanas!” (the boy is eating apples!) or another sentence you know, and post it to Seesaw.
7. Change the language of your iPad, phone, computer, and all of your devices to Spanish for 24 hours. Can you survive??!
8. Count to 20 in Spanish (in your head!) when you’re brushing your teeth every morning. Look up the numbers if you don’t know them.** (See note below)
9. Watch this inspirational Salsa VIDEO (and the dog dancing Salsa). Next, put on some fancy clothes, blast your favorite Spanish music, and make a short video of you dancing/jamming out to the song! The kids in the video are only 6 and 8 years old. Wow!
10. Play the Language Game, and try to get a score higher than 50. Too easy? The best score for Summit so far this year has been 325. Try to beat it! Spend 20-30 minutes working on this. It will really improve your ear for language.
11. Watch all of the Pato videos, and email me a paragraph describing which episode was your favorite and why.
12. Learn about Worry Dolls from Guatemala in this short but cute VIDEO, and then try to make your own.
13. Watch this video of the Camino de Santiago (a 500-mile hike through northern Spain) to see what it is like, and then go on a 20-minute hike outside. Think about how you learn Spanish best. What works for you? What doesn’t work? Do you learn best by listening, writing, or doing? Or something else?

**Too easy? Count backwards. Still too easy? Skip count forwards and backwards. Do mental math. Don’t just memorize numbers in order; make them meaningful. How do we use numbers in the real world? Count change in Spanish, say the total of the restaurant bill in Spanish, jump rope or play hopscotch in Spanish.  Numbers are everywhere…!

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!!!!!!

The TWO Spanish Activities below will be posted on Seesaw at 8am tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Please log in to Seesaw to view and click on the “Activities” tab.

Do your best work. Not your fastest work. Not your laziest work. YOUR BEST WORK!!! ***And keep working on Duolingo (or Memrise) 3-4 times a week!

Remember, you can always do MORE than this!! “Connecting words” like because (porque), with (con), and more can be found on Veracross for Continued Learning. Above is just a guide to help those of you who do not know what to say, or who are tempted to use online translators to do your work for you (please do not–this is dishonest and against our Core Values of integrity and independence).

If you have questions about the assignment, please email me. If you have questions about Seesaw or technology not working, please email the Technology Department. ¡Gracias!

**Spanish Activity, 4/7/20- SONGS (Part 2)

1. Listen to at least 3 FULL SONGS in Spanish on the ‘Songs Page‘ of my website.
2. Choose your favorite.
3. Respond to this activity with the link.
4. Listen to this song at least 3-4 times a week, to get the lyrics stuck in your head!

**The goal here is to create a personalized class playlist of everyone’s favorite songs in Spanish. If you choose a song that was not on my website, you need to be very MINDFUL of the lyrics and images in the video. If the lyrics are not happy/good/ positive or the images are inappropriate, the video will be deleted. So choose a good song that has a fun beat!

DIRECTIONS

1. Work on Duolingo (or Memrise) at least 3 times per week.

3. HOMEWORK: Do one of the following activities.
   • HANDWRITE me a letter in Spanish of 50 words or more and take a photo of it, OR
   • Video yourself speaking in Spanish to me for 20-30 seconds (like a letter, but spoken).
4. For the letter or video:
   1. Include vocabulary from Duolingo (or Memrise).
   2. Include a “Me gusta” (I like) or “Me encanta” (I love) sentence.
   3. Include a negative sentence. For example:
      • No quiero = I don’t want
      • No necesito = I don’t need
      • No me gusta = I don’t like
      • No puedo = I can’t
   4. Connecting words:
      • pero = but
      • y = and
      • con = with
      • porque = because
      • también = also
5. For the video, 10 seconds of talking and 20 seconds of “ummm” or silence does not count!! Try to make it flow. You can write it out and then video yourself reading it if that is easier.

   1. Send it from your school email address.
   2. Include your grade level in the subject line of your email.

Zoom has an option to video like a green screen, so you could ‘video’ from outer space, if you wanted! For tech questions, email Mr. Santos. Remember, learning should be a combination of hard work and fun. If it’s not fun, you are doing it wrong. 🙂
