Feedback Por Favor y DP update guidelines!

DP Updates:
Please make sure your DP has the following 2 things. You will get 10 points for updating your DP in class tomorrow with these items:

1. A brief (3-6 sentence) intro/explanation of the Bracero Project (English is fine this time).
2. A copy of your final Bracero Narrative

When you are done updating your DP, please email me: beccakatz.teacher@gmail.com with the link.

Feedback Survey:

Then, please fill out this survey in class to give me feedback about this year, about the Bracero Project, and about your hopes for next year. Remember, I really appreciate your honest and constructive feedback. You will get 10 points for having this done by 3:15pm on Friday. If it's not done by that time, you will receive 0 points.

Remember:
Turn in your extra credit illustrations (with your self-eval rubric) & your bracero narrative if you haven't already turned it in.  


¡Espero que tengan veranos buenísimos!  Gracias por un año divertido.  Hasta pronto.

¡REPASO!

REPASO


Aquí tienen algunos sitios y actividades para repasar los temas siguientes:

1. Preterit vs. Imperfect

• My fave - the colby site activities on pret. vs. imp
• conjuguemos site - go to this site and pick from the many (10!) activities that work on this skill

2. Gerund vs. Infinitive

• quia practice quiz

3. Preterit (Irregulars)

• Go back to conjuguemos. Remember you can select to not do "vosotros". Select the various types of irregulars or mixed verbs. 
• Again, the colby site has some great stuff here. 

4. Indirect and Direct Object Pronouns

• Colby does it again.
• Also, conjuguemos under the category "Pronouns" (you can do just DO, just IO, and combined)

Both conjuguemos and colby have review activities for LOTs of the topics we've covered this year.  I just pulled up the ones that seemed to give you all the most problems.
