The vokis talk!

As promised, here are the Spanish 1 Introduction vokis:




 I´m sure students will someday look back at these and laugh as they remember that this is all the Spanish they once knew. We are now moving on to school and classroom items. What´s in your mochila?

Two weeks in.....

Two weeks in and Spanish students have been extremely busy.

Spanish 1 students have mastered the Spanish alphabet--go ahead and ask them to sing it for you.   They can easily ask permission to do things, ask how to say or spell things,  introduce themselves or other people, and a few other things.  They are currently working on creating a Voki speaking avatar that will talk with their voice.  I will be posting them here next week for your viewing pleaseure.

Spanish 2 students have begun the year by reviewing what they learned last year.  They have reviewed making introductions, vocabulary related to school, and basic question words.  They are currently working on comic strips in which they must ask a variety of questions.  These will also be posted next week for everyone to see.

Spanish 3 students have been working on how to give detailed descriptions.  One simple thing they did was to make word clouds of words they would use to describe themselves.  They used a website called Tagul.  Here are a couple of examples:

Spanish 4 students have been reviewing vocabulary related to food and restaurants, and they have learned how to talk about activities they have done. In addition, both Spanish 3 and 4 students are also busy creating Vokis which they will be using to introduce themselves to Spanish students in Pardeeville. Eventually they will be collaborating on projects with their Pardeeville partner, all via the internet. I will hopefully be posting their vokis next week also. 

 As you can see, there will be a lot of work samples to post next week, so check back then. Hasta luego.
