PROJECT FOR 4TH QUARTER (TO BE STARTED NOW!)
Picture dictionaries: to be turned in 4th quarter, but started now
1. Include all of the categories (and the words from those categories) in your dictionary. You have the words in your Spanish notebooks, online on Quizlet, and I will also provide some list copies to you. ALL of the words are to be included in your pictue dictionary.
(We will update the dictionaries periodically with more categories and vocabulary words)
- I prefer that pictures come from magazines and only a few get printed or hand drawn. Look for photos that are unusual and will help you remember the word in Spanish – something that “resonates” with you! (Dali – clocks, watermelon clock)
- Categories must be divided and labeled so that they will be easy to find.
- All pictures are to be labeled neatly in both English and Spanish, printed by hand.
Categories:
Classroom vocabulary
Family words (you can use real family photos, if you would like) (one photo with many labels)
Clothing
Foods (drinks, protein, vegetables, fruit, desserts, miscellaneous)
Body parts (label all parts on one big picture)
Numbers (no pictures, just write the word in Spanish next to the number: 1 – uno, 2 – dos, etc.)
Seasons
Weather vocabulary
Colors (you can just show the color, then write the word in Spanish)
GRADE 7: Telling time homework page: part 1 is due on Thursday, part 2 is due on Friday, and we will do part 3 in class on Friday. Also, continue studying the TENER expressions for tests.
GRADE 8: You should be on Quizlet each night reviewing all categories for transition into conversation and writing, especially classroom, foods, family, clothing, days-months-seasons-weather, and TENER expressions.

You should be studying the basic vocabulary EVERY DAY so that you know it well this year.

6th Grade Spanish project: Students will make flags representing the Spanish speaking countries they have selected. Written reports must accompany the flags (due later.) Each written report must be at least one side of a paper and must be typed or neatly printed. An oral report will also be presented to the class. The oral report may be read or delivered with notes.
Date due: Flag is due Tuesday, September 11th. (Hard copies of written reports are due on ; oral reports must be ready by the also, but will be presented in class as time allows.) If you get your report done early, you are welcome to turn it in directly to me. Be ready to present your oral report on September 17th . Flag specifications: The assigned flag must be 8 ½ by 11 inches. Flags should preferably be made of colored construction paper (card stock). If you do not have that material, you may use other paper (as long as it is 8 ½ by 11 inches) and color it brightly. If your flag is not the proper size or material, your project will have points deducted. Any designs on the flag should be done by hand, not printed from the internet. Please print your first and last name, along with your group number, on the back of the flag.
Written report: The written report must be written in good, complete sentences in YOUR OWN WORDS and in paragraph form. I very rarely recommend using Wikipedia, but most of this information can be found on their website, so use it this time. Information must include details about what continent your country is on, what the country’s flag represents, the name of the capital city, the population of the country, the primary religion, the name of the current leader, the type of government, the currency, the ethnic groups in the country, and five other interesting facts about the country, its people, or its culture. (size 14, font Times New Roman) Oral report: The report will be presented orally in class. Students may read the report or may speak from notes. Students should follow basic public speaking skills: speaking should be at a volume which can be heard clearly throughout the room, speech should be clearly enunciated, and eye contact should be maintained throughout the speech. 3-5 minutes
Grading: Three grades will be given for the project: one for the flag, a second for the written report, and a third for the oral presentation. This project is easy, but it does take time to do it well. If you have any questions, please see me. Get started right away; never leave work until the last minute as sometimes things happen which won’t allow you to finish on time.
