Exam Unit 1

El primer examen
The best way to study for this test is to go over all the homework assignments and quizzes we have taken. There will be a few questions about capitals/countries of South and Central America. Look over the old posts and use the links for review. Also use the ebook to review the lessons. Numbers, greetings, and alphabet are in Chapter 1 and question words are in Chapter 3. It's a good idea to play the games in the ebook and attempt workbook activities and mini-quizzes as well.

Los saludos y la geografĂ­a de america del sur

Hola clase:

This week we are working on greetings (los saludos) and the geography of South America (la geografia de america del sur). Since this is a short week, we have to put a lot of work in to accomplish our goal of mastering both of these topics. Therefore, I'm sharing some extra resources to help you get ready for skits on Thursday (jueves) and the capitals quiz on Friday (viernes).
