Cinco de Mayo Assignment
04
May
Spanish I: Please click here to find the instructions for your Cinco de Mayo Assignment. You may print the handout utilizing the front and back. If you do not know how to do this, please ask me for assistance.
Spanish II: You will research the history of and information about Cinco de Mayo. Remember: Who? What? When” Where? and How? as you decide on the information you want to include. You will present your information in a glog AND a wordle. On the glog, make sure to include pictures and a section for resources. Do not type all of your information in 1 box. Look at some of the glogs that are on the site to see how you should best present your information. After you finish your glog, copy and paste all of your text in wordle to generate a word cloud.
All work should be emailed to me no later than tomorrow at 3:00 pm!
For extra credit, type some of your information in Spanish in wordle to create a separate word cloud. You do not have to use all of your information. I am not checking for grammar!
Spanish III/IV: Complete the same assignment as Spanish II but in Spanish. Remember to use the preterite tense when you are discussing the history. The use of a translator will result in an automatic 0!

Your layered unit sheet will not be due this week. I forgot to mention that we will finish up this chapter on Wednesday of next week; so, you have until then to get your assignments complete. Sorry about the confusion. I was thrilled with your success last week and I hope this chapter is even more successful!
Extra Credit
22
Feb
Spanish I and II have the opportunity to earn extra credit by researching a creating a poster on an Afro-Latino (Black Hispanic). Choose a name from this list to research. Once you have chosen a name, leave a comment on this post. Make sure that no one has chosen that person before you select your name. If all names are taken, leave a comment telling me and I will post further instructions.
On the poster, include a title (preferrably the person’s name) that is large enough to be seen. Use simple sentences to give information about the person (do not print full paragraphs from the internet. This is plagiarism. All information should be in your own words). Text and pictures should be large enough to be seen. Make sure to be NEAT and CREATIVE. For additional points, present the poster to the class (without reading from the information you have included on the poster. If you choose to present, you should know the information). You can also choose to present the information in a Thinking Map (how creative will that be!).
For even more bonus points (Spanish II ONLY), include basic information in Spanish (see me after school to help with the Spanish if needed. DO NOT GET SOMEONE TO TRANSLATE FOR YOU!!! NO CREDIT WILL BE GIVE FOR SPANISH YOU DID NOT WRITE. Do your best even if it is not perfect).
This project is due on Friday!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!! If you do not think you will be at school on Friday, please turn in the project early.

Students are reminded that homework is due BEFORE the first tardy bell. You must have a note if you are late to school to be able to turn in your homework after 8:00. Homework is very important because it gives an extra opportunity to practice for quizzes and tests. Please take advantage of this extra help by completing your homework.
