Update after March 14 Due Date
Hello, this is the latest grade update.
Our 18 and 16 Week students have completed a module on Al Aeropuerto.
Their Vocabulary Projects have been excellent, with lots of images of planes, passports, round trip tickets, suitcases, and boarding passes. They are ready to travel!
Please do continue to let your students know that they are doing a great job in this course!
If some students need a little push, please remind them that time is short before the end of the term. Spring Break is April 7 through 11 for Georgia Virtual School, and after that, there is less than a month until May 9 - the absolute end of the course - with exams having occurred before then.
Now back to Al Aeropuerto and a look at a student's presentation:

As the 14 Week and 12 Week Students are in La Comida and La Ropa Modules, while the 16 and 18 weekers ar moving into a new module.
Las Estaciones is the title of the Module.
In this module, the main vocabulary topics are seasons, weather, and relevant activities. Continuing to use the past tense is a main grammar point. A surprising cultural focus is the bullfight!
Not just the weather
Besides telling what the weather is like, students can also use previous vocabulary to describe the clothing (La Ropa) that the children are wearing and other details in the picture, such as the sea and colors.
¿Qué estación es? - What season is it?
This is just a fanciful way to look at naming the seasons. Here, too. colors may be named, as well as other vocabulary that may be shared by our very creative students.
La Corrida de Toros - The fighting of the Bulls
Taking a moment to learn a very significant point of culture, even though it is widely controversial, the history and tradition of the bullfight is a part of the Hispanic life through the ages that this course would be remiss not to present.
