7th: This week the 7th graders took a vocabulary quiz on our new vocabulary. They also finished the rough drafts of their writing quizzes in which they wrote a newspaper article about their school day. They then spent some time in the lab working on their revised drafts and making them into actual newspaper articles.
8th: The 8th graders spent the first part of the week preparing for their speaking assessment on household chores. Having a conversation in Spanish is harder than just asking and answering questions. The 8th graders did a nice job with their quizzes. Next week we'll take a look at the notes from our conversations so they'll know in what areas they can improve before the next speaking assessment. They are also working on a web quest researching the difference between staying in a hotel or an apartment when on a long vacation. I'm interested to see what they find!
Have a great long weekend!
