SPA112 Spanish Artists and the FINAL

Hola clases,

For Spanish 1, you submitted an interview tape in which you talked about yourself all in Spanish. For Spanish 2, I decided to raise the bar a little and have you not only talk about yourself, but also about a famous Hispanic figure.

For the remainder of the semester we will be combining our grammar notes with the information that you find out about your person.

For example, this week we talked about Direct Object Pronouns. Your assignment is to write 5 sentences using D.O.P that will relate to your person.

Here is my 1st podcast using podomatic. DOP podcast

I have Celia Cruz's CD.  =  Celia Cruz's CD is my Direct Object to make it a pronoun I substitute "it"
I have it.  ¿Cómo se dice "CD" en español? el disco, pues "it" is masculine and singular, therefore "lo"
Lo tengo.

I want Salvadora Dali's paintings. Let's use "pinturas = for paintings"
I want them.
Las quiero.

Each week we'll go over important grammar concepts. We will apply that grammar to your projects. Each week you will have an assignment, due to me demonstrating your knowledge of the grammar. You can either email, voki or video your response.

REMEMBER your final is all spoken, so the more you practice recording and sending me your responses, the easier your final will be... just saying

We will finish this week with Stem Change verbs. We've already learned e-ie, o-ue, and e-i will be a piece of cake.

As always, if you need me... facebook me, email me, tweet me, or text me.

Ciao,
MLMoore
