After learning a little about "El Grito" last Friday,
Sr. McVeigh's Spanish 5-6
and 7-8 students will learn more about Padre Hidalgo through a musical biography
of him sung by Hermanos Zavala. This activity is a fun way of incorporating
history and culture, as well as some listening practice, into our classes. The
5-6 and 7-8 students are also preparing for their first vocabulary quizzes this
week and the Etapa Preliminar Review Exams next week. AP Spanish students are
about two-thirds of the way through the AP Practice Exam - ¡bravo! In the
process, they have written a letter to a grandparent and an online article about
a superstar's summer. On Monday, they will start reading an audio eBook (with
full PDF transcript) about the life of Miguel Hidalgo.
