Write a poem that describes who you are using Spanish adjectives. Your poem must have at least five sentences and include illustrations that show what the descriptions mean.
Use this chart to select adjectives you want to use in your poem. These adjectives should work with "Yo soy..." and "Yo no soy..." sentences. You may also search for new adjectives apart from the ones we have reviewed in class. I've given you an example below.
| English | Español | English | Español |
|---|---|---|---|
| Funny | Gracioso | . | . |

Check off each requirement for your poem below. You can turn in your work when you can check off each box below.
| ✅ | Requirement: |
|---|---|
| Each adjective in your poem is illustrated. A person can guess the meaning of the word even if they do not speak Spanish. | |
| All of your adjectives agree in gender if they end in "-o" or "-a." | |
| At least one sentence that begins with "Yo soy ..." (I am...) | |

| At least one sentence with "Yo soy ... y ...", "I am ... and ..." | |
| At least one sentence with this pattern: "Yo no soy ni ... ni ..." to say "I am neither ... nor ..." |
This means you will have at least one of each sentence below:

D) "Yo no soy ni ... ni ..." (I am neither … nor …)
