Work
in groups of three or four. Change roles
each day. Try to be responsible for each task at least twice during this
project. If there are four people in your
group, two may work on the “word-watcher” task.
If there are only two people in your group, you may leave out the “summary”
task. Each day you are to complete your
task on notebook paper. The following
day, using the same piece of paper, do the next task. At the end of the project, you will turn in
your assignment with six different tasks. (Stapled together)
o
Summarizer: Write a brief (half-page) summary
in English. Be sure to include only
details from the corresponding pages.
Don’t rely just on your knowledge of the story in English. List specifics.
o
Word Watcher/Grammarian: List grammar structures that we
have learned in class. (Not verb conjugation) This person should be the only
person with their phone out. The may use
their phone to look up unknown words.
Grammar structures may include:
§ Ir + a + infinitive
§ Tener + que
§ Past Participle (-ado, -ido)
§ Present Participle (estar + -ando, -iendo)
§ Direct Object Pronouns
§ Indirect Object Pronouns
§ Reflexive Verbs with pronouns
o
Verb Expert: List verbs from passage classified
by “present”, “preterit”, “imperfect”, and “future”. This person is also responsible for recording
any questions about the text that the group cannot answer on their own. Sra. Smith will answer the questions during
the Wrap-Up time.
