This week we will be continuing our review of phonetics and pronunication of the Spanish Language. Our objective now is not only to pronounce words acurately, but also understand words spoken in Spanish by others. Here is the Curriculmn Standard that is met by our weeks lesson
WL.7.1.NH.A.8 - [Cumulative Progress Indicator] - Identify some unique linguistic elements in English and the target language AND
WL.7.1.NH.A.1 - [Cumulative Progress Indicator] - Recognize familiar words and phrases, understand the main idea, and infer the meaning of some highly contextualized, unfamiliar spoken or written words in culturally authentic materials using electronic information and other sources related to targeted themes.
In order to assess(test) your knowledge on this unit I would normally give you a verbal quiz... however since that's no possible this is next best option!!
Mini Research Presentation
Imagine that you had a friend that has never heard anyone speak Spanish (CRAZY RUGHT?!?) You would like to help your friend so search the internet for a (school appropriate) video of at least 3 minutes in length COMPLETELY in Spanish. Share the link and Explain 1. what the video is about, 2. If it easy to understand and why you thought it was a good sample of the Spanish langauge and 3. a List of at least 10 cognates that apear in your vioeo example (HINT IF THERE ARE NOT 10 CHOSE ANOTHER VIDEO!)
