View a movie or cultural performance, or attend a cultural event that presents valid practices or historical background about one of the Spanish speaking countries of the world. You will be provided a form to complete concerning this activity. This may not include a movie that you have seen in one of your Spanish classes. You must receive prior approval if it does not appear on the list below. Some of the movies on the list are "R" rated or have no rating so make sure you have parental approval before viewing There are many good documentaries and pertinent biographies or travel programs available on TV on the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, a travel channel or A.& E. Any of these would be permissible. Possible Movies El Cid Maricela Sweet 15 rcycle Diaries Mission Man of the Mancha The Official Story Missing Los olvidados The Butterfly Like Water for Chocolate Grandfather House of the Spirits Frida Mambo Kings Romero Calle 54 Buena Vista Social Club Guantamera Ay Carmelo Tango Volver Evita The Alamo For Whom the Bell Tolls Real Women Have Curves La Bamba El norte Nueba Yol Skyline In the Time of the Butterflies Dirty Dancing Havana Nights Don Quixote Milagro Beanfield Wars El flamenco Quincenera 2. Log of encounters with the language outside of the classroom. Keep a log of the occasions on which you encounter Spanish outside of the classroom. Include your reaction at the time. You will receive a chart for this. 3. Make a connection to another course you are studying this year. How has something you learned in that course related to what you learn or do in Spanish class? If you think you will have a problem with this come and see me and we can discuss your options. Write a summary of this activity and what it contributed to your learning in both classes. 4. Force yourself to have a conversation in Spanish with a native speaker. Summarize the conversation that you had and explain what vocabulary you needed to communicate. How long was the conversation? With whom was it? What did you talk about? This must be beyond the "hello" “how are you?” stage of a level one student. II. ORAL PRESENTATION PROCEDURES: 1. Assignments will be given in class with the expectations, and explanation of conversational and vocabulary objectives. 2. Groups will be formed and decisions made about each person's individual role. 3. No one person is to write the dialog for everyone else to memorize. I find this leads to repetition of lines with no concept of what is being said. 4. Each person is responsible for his own lines within the content of the group conversation. 5. Papers will not be used during presentations. Memorization is only necessary as required for your ability to converse. The objective of the presentations is not to memorize something but to show you can carry on a Spanish conversation about whatever the specific language goals and objectives are for each lesson.

NOTEBOOKS: All students should have a three ring binder notebook or a section of a larger binder for Spanish. This should then be divided into 5 sections as follows: 1. Grammar and Class notes: Study sheets provided as well as your personal notes taken in class. Try to keep topics together, i.e. verbs, present tense, past tense; pronouns etc., so you can easily add subsequent information and find necessary topics when you are studying. 2. Listening and Speaking activities done in class. 3. Vocabulary: Vocabulary sheets provided for study as well as a running list of words you encounter that you do not know but for which you are responsible. Remember if you find the word in your book or notes it is assumed you remember it from level one or a previous lesson. 4. Assignments: Done inside and outside of class. You may continue from one assignment to the next on the same paper. Make sure to date and put the page and activity number for each. 5. Diary: Contains returned papers, corrections from tests or quizzes and a running list of areas where you have encountered problems so you have a good reference of what to check on and practice before a test. Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions? Password: Forgot your password?
