In this unit, students identify jobs and buildings found in a typical city. They also learn how to give directions between two locations. Since this unit is very dense with vocabulary and verb conjugations, students completed a vocabulary activity in which they identified the words with which they struggled the most. Using this information, they created their own Wordle. On Day 2 of this set of activities, students wrote a total of 6 sentences using the conjugated verbs and vocabulary related to jobs and modes of transportation. They posted these sentences to a Today's Meet conversation. Students were also provided with a Bonus Activity, should they complete the first two activities early. However, I really underestimated the amount of time they would need to complete these activities, and nobody got the opportunity to complete the Bonus Activity

=__**COMER EN FAMILIA**__= == In this unit, students learned vocabulary related to food. They sorted vocabulary words into the appropriate location of the food pyramid, then planned healthy meals. They used these meals to create a menu for a restaurant they were going to open. They had to complete a menu planning guide, which had to be approved by me before they could begin work on their menu. There were specific criteria that had to be met based on a rubric.

In this unit, students learned vocabulary related to shopping. They identified clothing appropriate for each season and were able to ask for and tell the price of an item. The bulk of the material for this unit came from an irregular verb, "tener", and unique expressions using "tener" that do not have an exact translation from Spanish to English. Using the website quia.com (yes, I paid for a subscription!), I created my classes and gave each student their class code so they could add their name to the roster. The registration feature is very helpful because the website logs the amount of time that students spent on each activity, which made it very easy for me to determine who was actually completing the work, even if I was helping other students. After registering, they completed a wide variety of practice activities that ranged from vocabulary identification, matching, cloze activities, and sentence construction. The games were activities such as matching, hangman, battleship, and "Rags to Riches", (their form of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"). The link to my Quia profile is below, which displays the five activities that they had to complete.
