NCVPS ESPAÑOL 3 Honors
Week 2, June 24 - 28
with Sra. Beverly Myers
What are students working on this week?
We are now starting week 2. Students should have already finished the Getting Started Unit and Unit 1 (a review of Spanish 2). I am currently contacting all parents about student progress in our class.
Assignments are due each Friday evening at 11:55pm. Last, students are encouraged to work ahead in the class!
Below is the list of assignments students should be working on this week.
- Create a family album about 5 members of your family (brother/sister, aunt/uncle, mother/father, grandparent). Include 3 elements: text, images and an oral narration in order to create original and personal based content for Unit 2.
- You can use Prezi, Google Slides, Emaze, Adobe Spark, Power Point, etc.
- Describe your family members (use adjectives from the unit).
- Try to explain your relationship with your family members (use reflexive verbs or talk about relations and conflicts).
- Talk about how your family members used to be (using the past tense, the imperfect tense).
- Use the vocabulary from this unit (click here) and the grammar constructions that you learned in this unit.
- Use photos and make sure to cite them. If they are your own photos, please state that somewhere in the presentation.
- Add an oral narration (voice-over) explaining details about your family members. (You can use vocaroo.com to add links to your voiceover if you can not figure out how to add voiceover, which usually is "Insert > Audio" depending on the platform or tool you decide to use). The audio needs to be different than the written part. Please do not read what you have written in your presentation.
- Make sure you use only vocabulary and grammar from this unit.
- Submit the presentation through the designated assignment in CANVAS. You can put the link to your Prezi, Google Slide, Emaze, Adobe Spark, etc. for your submission. (Please make sure that on the tool you are using, you click on Share > Copy the link given > Paste it as you submission).
I will be teaching my RLC for Units 2/3 on Monday, July 1 at 8pm!

How are grades calculated?
HOW CAN YOU HELP AS A PARENT?
1. Ask your students how they are doing, what they are doing (which assignment/s) and what they are learning. Ask them to answer specific questions around what they are learning.
2. Have your students show you their grades (they are available 24/7), get/use the parent/observer access (sent out in each newsletter) OR have them give you their log-in info., so you can check in on them anytime. You just click on "Grades" in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Does your student have a smartphone? If so, make sure that (s)he has downloaded the Canvas Student App!
As you probably know, students are not always forthcoming/proactive, so ask them!
