Monday 19 - Today I gave weekly grades and passed out our new Lesson 3 vocabulary sheet, which is about giving a personal interview in Spanish. We went over the new words and made flash cards for them. Homework: finish your flash cards and study them 7 minutes by tomorrow.
Tuesday 20 - Today I checked your flash cards and we did a game with them. We learned how to use a Spanish/English dictionary and used the dictionaries provided in class to begin the worksheet on the back of Lesson 3. Homework: study flash cards 5 minutes. The worksheet is NOT homework yet.
Wednesday 21 - Today we continued to use the dictionaries to finish our worksheet and we did flash card activities. Homework: finish the worksheet on the back of lesson 3, due tomorrow.
Thuesday 22 - Today we used our completed worksheet to create our Lesson 3 project, which is a story strip (kind of like a comic strip) illustrating an interview, with questions and answers in Spanish. We took notes about how to do this assignment and began working. No homework.
Friday 23 - Today we continued working on our story strips, which will be due Monday. If you didn't finish them in class today, they're homework!

About Me
- Jason Miller
- I was born in Provo, Utah and my Dad was in the US Army until I was 17, so I lived in Germany, Virginia, California, Kansas, and Utah when I was younger. For my senior year of high school, my Dad retired from the military and moved us to the little town of Springville, Utah, where I graduated from high school in 1997. I went to Brigham Young University and majored in International Studies with a minor in Latin American Studies. I took two years off college to live in Ecuador and serve the people there. After graduating from college, I went to Flagstaff, Arizona and earned my Master's Degree in Latin American History in 2005. Since then I've been teaching Social Studies and Spanish in the Phoenix area. I moved to Tucson in July of 2009 to teach Middle School Spanish at the Academy of Tucson Middle School. I have been married for 10 years and I have two children - Jarom and Rebecca, who go to the Academy of Tucson Elementary School
