Spanish 1A 10/30 Monday:

Prepare an oral presentation for Wednesday. You need to choose a friends or family member to talk about. Use all of the Spanish that you know so far. Tell what his/her name is, what they do for a living, their likes/dislikes and describe what they are like (tall, short, etc.). Interview the person first. If possible, ask the questions in Spanish. If the person does not know spanish, teach them a few words! This should be at least 1 1/2 to 2 minutes long! You may have notecards to remind yourself of what you are going to say, but DO NOT SIMPLY READ THEM FOR YOUR PRESENTATION!!!!!!!! Also, this must be in Spanish for those of you who have not been paying attention in class. =)

11/1 Wednesday: Oops, actually it was a textbook assignment that I do not remember. Call a buddy to find out what it was!
