Hi P1! 

 

Just a reminder that the following worksheet will be collected in class on Thursday. You will have about 20 minutes in class to complete it in class.

Hi P1, 

 

I have not posted in a while but students have been working on their group project around revolutions. Students should be prepared to begin presentations tomorrow. Today in class, they edited presentations and practiced their presentations. They will begin presenting tomorrow. 

If students have not shared the presentation with me yet, they should do so at: [email protected]

 

Thank you! 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi P1, 

 

Please make sure and share your ppt summary of your causes and effects of the revolution you are researching by tomorrow (11/15). Also make sure your “Tabla de eventos” is complete. 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Just a reminder that if you haven't turned in your research sheet to me yet, it should be turned in tomorrow for class completed for partial credit, before the do-now. 

Please make sure you complete your quiz on your classmates presentations by Monday. The ppts are posted on our class website:

I will be grading ppts over the weekend and will be posting grades.

Hi Periods 1-6! 

 

I just wanted to share the following exhibits that two parents shared with me (thank you!) as an opportunity to attend a cultural event that relates to Spanish. 

 

I know some of my 8th graders are working on the biliteracy seal and one of the requirements ask that they attend a cultural event relating to the target language (Spanish) or complete volunteer hours where the target language is spoken. So the following exhibits would be great for students to attend to fulfill the requirement.

 

For my 6th graders, I am sharing it in case you are interested! Have a great weekend!

#1."Cuba is" at Annenberg Photo Space 

Revealing complexities both on and off the island, Cuba Is explores aspects of Cuba not easily accessed by foreigners, and sometimes not even by Cubans themselves. Born from indigenous, African and European roots, divergent politics and limitations in communication and commerce, the Cuba seen in this exhibition goes beyond the folklore and offers new insight into its current reality. Over 120 photos feature subjects ranging from defiant youth known as “frikis” to the hard-partying children of the 1%, the underground system of sharing digital content—“El paquete”—to Miami’s Chonga girls.

 

"Resolviendo" at Annenberg as well.

RESOLVIENDO is a familiar sentiment in Cuban culture that is being redefined by a new generation. RESOLVIENDO—or “creative drive; resolve”—describes the by-any-means-necessary sensibility of Cuban artists, creating their work despite a lack of resources. As part of Cuba Is, Skylight Studios will celebrate this creative spirit with an interactive installation comprised of artworks and media, much of it exhibited for the first time in the United States, including original pieces visitors can take home. All throughout the exhibition, guests will see and experience the imaginative and creative solutions of the Cuban people, with a special focus on technological improvisations.

HI P1, 

 

We will begin presentations on Monday for your PPT projects, so please make sure you have finished editing your presentation by Monday! I am attaching the rubric you will be graded on for your ppt! 

 

Have a great weekend. 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi P1, 

 

I am sharing the rubric for the essay you wrote. We will be reviewing this in class today (9/28), please make any revisions by Monday! 

 

Thank you! 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi P1, 

 

Please make sure over the comments I've left on your group essays. I will begin grading them on Sunday! 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi all, 

 

Today we worked on writing your group essay. Make sure one of your group members shares your group essay rough draft by Monday to me. 

share it to the following email:

 

NOT [email protected]

 

Have a great weekend! 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Students do not have any homework for the weekend. They could get a head-start on their research but they will have class time on Monday and Tuesday to work on their research for their project. 

 

Items due to me today: Students (groups) should have emailed me a topic question for their research. If you emailed it to me during class, no need to email again. If you still have not sent over your topic question, you should email it to me by tonight. 

 

Ms. Madrid 

Hi all, 

 

Please make sure you bring in your hazlo-ahora sheet tomorrow (it is due). Also, if your group has not picked a topic for your research project, please come in with an idea in mind. Your topic should be a contemporary issue affecting an indigenous group.

 Hi All! 

 

Welcome to the new school year. I am super excited to be teaching all of you this year. I just wanted to let you know that I have updated my edlio account and added the courses for this year. For all of my students, their only assignment that is due is their student questionnaire which I am attaching to this post. 

Have a great weekend!
