Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving
I pray all of you are having a wonderful break.  Get lots of rest  and time with family and friends. Many of you have asked me about extra credit so there are two options one to review and one to jump ahead to the grammar part of chapter 6A which is new territory so you decide which option is best for you.

Ser and Estar review
You can review one or all of these videos and bring in your notes or the sections where you get to practice by translating or filling in the blanks pause the video for that .  You may show your corrections in red.  Don't worry about having wrong answers -I rather you correct it than just copy the answers .  You will get points for practicing not for accuracy.

Digo Que ......

This is an assignment

Please add a new slide to the "Digo que" slide presentation and a picture.  Add something you say that you feel is important.  Your assignment will be to write down 30 sentence ,telling us what they say. If you notice two students have a common idea you may write a combined sentence.
 For example.


Kevin y Putty dicen que es muy importante comer durante primer periodo.

This still counts as one sentence . Look at the sentences already written you do not want to copy.
