2nd Quarter Extra Credit Opportunities

During 2nd Quarter, I would like my students to be able to notice the Spanish in the world around them and to try to translate it. To help with this, I am offering an extra credit opportunity. Students, you may do this extra credit assignment up to 3 times this quarter. Each time you turn it in, I will give you a 5 points extra credit certificate to be used on any test, quiz, or worksheet.

Each week I will write a Spanish message somewhere around the school. It will usually be handwritten, but sometimes it might be typed. There will only be one message per week. The message will be "good" from Monday to Friday. On Friday I will tell each class where the message was and what it meant. They will usually be funny or random messages.

For the extra credit, you will need to find the week's Spanish message sometime before Friday, as extra credit will be due then. Once you find it, on a sheet of paper, first write the message down in Spanish. Then, use any resource you can think of in order to translate it to English on your paper. Write the translation. Third, tell me which resources you used to translate it. Finally, tell me on your paper where you found the message. Make sure your name is on it and turn it in to me sometime during the week. If everything is correct, you will get your 5 points extra credit certificate.

As of Wednesday, Oct 12, the first message is already up. It's good until Friday the 17th. Good luck!
