Spanish students in
Dr. Jacobson's classes submitted their first essay based on
the theme of the qualities of a good friend. After watching the videos of the
Columbian folktales
El tigre ñato (The pug-nosed tiger) and
La mujer pez (The
fish woman), students read the scripts and answered questions requiring the
analysis of the past vs the imperfect verb forms used in the story. In
addition, students practiced auditory skills and grammar knowledge as they wrote
about what they understood while watching a video about a girl's memories of
summers during her childhood. Students then read their summaries aloud to a
partner.
AP students enjoyed listening to a recording of 'El décimo',
and participated in comprehension activities with the use of bilingual
dictionaries.
