Hola muchachos, this week we will be completing tasks on Schoology. While I am on leave, all of your content and assignments will be on Schoology so they will be easy to locate. I will continue to post content on wilkins.dropmark.com so you can refer to it if needed.
I can speak about the places in my community.

Duolingo, Práctica (Always practice Duo even if you’ve completed the 200 XP for the week. It is daily review. Remember, you cannot “store up treasures” with language learning. It is a process.)
See how well you’re doing with “e -> ie” stem-change verbs with this quick quiz: https://studyspanish.com/grammar/test/stemie-t
Next, write these sentences in your notebook and fill in the missing correct conjugation of the missing word.

Nuevo vocabulario. Review the places on pages 172 and 173 in the green “Auténtico” textbook. Which of these terms do you already know? Write the terms you do not know in your notebook with their English translation. Next, read the text under the heading, “Cultura – El mundo hispano,” on page 177. Add the vocabulary terms below to your notes with their English translation. (Some of the terms are defined in the passage; others you will have to get from the context or the glossary at the back of the book.)
| Vocabulario | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pasear | Una plaza | Caminar |
| Edificios | Hacer negocios | La gente |

I can speak about the places in my community.
I can describe the weather in my community and in places around the Spanish-speaking world.
¿Cuáles de los siguientes lugares hay en tu comunidad? (You define what your “community” means. If your community is just Cowpens, for example, answer the questions based on Cowpens. If you feel that it is all of District 3, or all of Spartanburg, answer with that in mind.)
Write down these places in Spanish, and then write “sí” if this place exists in your community or “no” if it does not.
1) Un gimnasio
2) Una panadería
3) Un hospital
4) Un café
5) Un banco
6) Una farmacia
7) Un florista
8) Un supermercado
9) Una oficina de correos
10) Un museo

In your notebook, create a chart and add these weather descriptions: https://wilkins.dropmark.com/1369678/32101447
You can write the Spanish and English descriptions or draw the pictures like you see in the chart. (Use the method that works best for your independent study and review.)
