Scarborough Faire and Orchestra field trips

4th- sub
Thursday: 6-2 exam
Friday: Sub, Mexico culture activity

If you are in 4th period and are going to be absent Tuesday when we review for the exam, I will leave a copy of the review information with the sub Wednesday. It is your job to come find me, either in the support center or another place, if you do not understand what will be on the exam or need extra help.

You should start submitting drafts for your show and tell presentation this week. Do not write the presentation first in English and then translate it to Spanish. All this does is add an extra step that ends up being a source of frustration since you can never translate directly from English to Spanish. What you can do, especially if what you are presenting has multiple steps, is make an OUTLINE (an outline, not paragraphs, not sentence... an OUTLINE) and check things off the outline as you incorporate them into the Spanish version of your presentation.

Another thing you should start doing is finding your Spanish textbook! You will need to turn in your textbook in a few weeks, so start the excavation process.

Have a great week!
