Monday 30th - Today I checked to make sure each student had done the 20 point assignment from last Thursday, which was to get on a computer and research 3 places to visit in Puerto Rico. For each place they needed to either print out or jot down the name of the place, a description of its location, a picture (if possible), and 3 facts about the place that might make someone want to visit it. After doing this, we did vocabulary practice and other activities. We will start on our travel brochures tomorrow. Homework: if you didn't bring your research, get it by tomorrow! If you did, no homework.
Tuesday 31st - Today was the first of 3 days we will work on our travel brochures in class. Today we discussed the format of the brochure, especially the first panel (the front). We worked on the first panel in class. Homework: bring any photos or research you might need tomorrow.
Wednesday 1 - Today was the 2nd day of work on our travel brochures. We discussed how to create the other 3 panels of the brochure and students had plenty of time to work on these. Homework: bring any photos or research you might need tomorrow.
Thursday 2 - Today was the final day to work on our brochures in class. We also did vocabulary activities. Your travel brochures are due on Monday. Homework: travel brochure due Monday!
Friday 3 - Today we did a powerpoint presentation and notes on the food of Puerto Rico. This wraps up the powerpoint notes section of your packet. If you were absent for any of these sections, you must see a friend to copy their answers. Homework: travel brochures due Monday!
