12/3 - work on conjugation project
Students worked on the conjugation project almost the whole hour. I was disappointed with how few people asked me to look over their sentences and boxes so hopefully everyone just had a really great grasp on the assignment.
La tarea: The project is due on Tuesday, but we will NOT have any more class time to do it.
NOTE: Chapter 2B is moved up to Wednesday of next week!!!

12/2 - Verb conjugation review, project assigned.
1. Review of verb conjugations, practice verb endings.
2. Assigned conjugation project, due on Tuesday
La tarea: Bring in your started project to work on in class.
Verb Conjugation Project (52 points) Assigned: 12/2, Due 12/7 (Tuesday)
You will conjugate 14 verbs: ser, estar, 4 -ar, 4 -er, and 4 -ir verbs of your choice. For each verb, you will VERY NEATLY make and fill out a conjugation grid with all pronouns included, and also including the Spanish infinitive and English translation of the infinitive. You will illustrate the verb and write a grammatically correct sentence describing the illustration. Make at least 1 sentence with each subject pronoun from the grid (10). It is best to try to use words you already know, but you may use the glossary at the end of your text or the additional vocab on page 472. DO NOT start with your final copy; you should run all sentences by me before committing them to the final version.
Grading Rubric:
2 points each for correct conjugation (28 pts.)
1 point each for correct sentences with varied subjects (14 pts.)
5 points for turning project in on time
5 points for illustrations that represent the sentences.
Note: if any of the verbs you choose is acting on a person, you must use the personal “a” before naming the person. For example, “Yo beso a mi esposo” or “Ella llama a la profesora,” but “Tú gastas mucho dinero” (no personal “a” is needed because the object is not a person).
