8th grade Spanish students did their first "Reader's Theatre" presentations early this week and they did an excellent job. All students were very enthusiastic and the skits were very entertaining. We ended the week with a "StoryBoard" which featured "El hombre de pan de jengibre" (The Gingerbread Man). Students had used a series of pictures and written Spanish cards and had to figure out the plot line using the pictures and dialogue. The ending of "El hombre de pan de jengibre" was open-ended, and students created their own ending for this tale in Spanish.
7th grade Spanish students received their graded tests back for "La Comunidad" and synthesized their unit with a jeopardy game of La comunidad, La familia, and we recycled some categories from 6th grade Spanish as a much-needed vocabulary refresher.
6th grade Spanish students practiced their expressions of courtesy in mini-skits this week. This week we strived to make the interactions more authentic rather than scripted which meant a great deal of improv was required. We will add more expressions leading up to the winter break.
