¡Feliz verano estudiantes! Bienvenidos a nuestro
blog de IB para Español 4! Our activities on the blog will be in the green
box located below. Read the activity and follow its instructions. When you are
ready to answer the questions required, scroll down to the bottom of the blog
page and click on add comment. Type your answers in the box that pops up and at
the end of your answers, include your name. You MUST have your name in the
comments box or you will NOT receive credit for your work. This is just like
putting your name on your paper! ALSO, you must click anonymous from the drop
down boxes listed below the comments box, since the comments are submitted to
me for review and not published. If you leave the box for Google ID checked,
your answers will be lost in space for all eternity (until you redo it!). If you have ANY questions, please let me know!
Tip: If you have any doubts or fears about losing your work, do as I do, and
copy and paste your answers into a Word document, Notepad, e-mail to yourself,
etc., so you have an electronic copy as backup. I will be posting to the class
blog on a bi-weekly basis from now on, so stay tuned and check back frequently!
Activity:
In the IB Summer
Assignment packet, item #3 indicated that you were to go to the following links
to find a newspaper or news site from a Spanish-speaking country to find
articles in Spanish:
You are required to find two current events articles for June
2015. Have a hard copy printed of each article. You need to have read them and
understand them. A great online dictionary is www.wordreference.com if you need help with the vocabulary, verb
tenses, etc. Here are the questions to answer for EACH article for the month of
June. July and August questions will be different: 1) What is the name of the
article? 2) What website did you find the article on? 3) Type a 3 sentence
summary in English of what the article is about. An easy way to do this
is to summarize it in a sentence or two and then tell me your personal opinion
or reaction. Sounds easy, but being succinct and including the most relevant
information can be difficult. Do NOT copy and paste a sentence from the article
and don’t use a translator! ¡Buena suerte!
