Bienvenidos
to our Spanish class blog! Our activities on the blog will be in the boxes
located below as follows: orange is Spanish 2, and green is Spanish 3/4 Read
the activity and follow its instructions. When you are ready to answer the
questions required, scroll down to the bottom of the blog page and click on add
comment. Type your answers in the box that pops up and at the end of your answers,
include your name. You MUST have your name in the comments box or you will NOT
receive credit for your work. This is just like putting your name on your
paper! ALSO, you must click anonymous
from the drop down boxes listed below the comments box, since the comments are
submitted to me for review and not published. If you leave the box for Google
ID checked, your answers will be lost in space for all eternity (until you redo
it!). If you have ANY questions, please let me know! Tip: If you have any doubts
or fears about losing your work, do as I do, and copy and paste your answers
into a Word document, Notepad, e-mail to yourself, etc., so you have an
electronic copy as backup. I will be posting to the class blog on a weekly
basis from now on, so stay tuned and check back frequently!
Be reminded that you lose
participation points when you are caught on YouTube, Facebook, and similar
sites. You may listen to music on a site like www.grooveshark.com that does NOT have
videos. If music starts to interfere with your ability to complete your work or
stay on task, you will lose that privilege.
