Unit+1+Projects

Unit I Proyectos

Congratuations on finishing your first unit of study! I know it was probably difficult at times to complete it, especially if you are new to the technologies that we are using. Each week, as you complete more of your unit, you should feel like you are working toward the end goal of earning your one credit of Spanish. In Unit I, the main focus was to review the basics of the Spanish language, but it was also to get used to using many of the technologies we will be using throughout the course.

Now that you've completed the study aspect of Unit I, you need to show me that you understand what Unit I taught you by completing the following two projects. With one, you will be using VoiceThread to respond verbally to a few listening cues. The other, you will write an email to Juan Juanito, a student from Mexico is interested in finding a pen pal from the United States.

Project #1
It's important that, after working so hard on your language skills, you show all of your hard work! In that case, you are going to complete the following VoiceThread which will showcase your speaking skills!

__Directions__:
 * 1) In the VoiceThread, you will hear four different "prompts."
 * 2) When you hear the prompt. you should respond using the correct vocabulary.
 * 3) Complete each of the four prompts.
 * 4) For more information on how to use VoiceThread, check out the "@How - To" section.

Project #2
For your second project, you will be writing two emails to Alejandro Minuez, a student in Mexico who wants to learn more about student life in the United States. The first email you write will be in Spanish. You will then receive an email back in English from Alejandro because he wants to practice his English skills (this is usually how it goes with pen pals - they will practice the Spanish language if you practice the English language with them). Please answer any questions he may ask in the email.

In the first email, you are required to have the following in the email:


 * Greet Alejandro
 * Ask how he is doing
 * Ask him how old he is and where he is from
 * Tell him how old you are and where you are from
 * Tell him goodbye


 * You should email him at: a.minuez@gmail.com**


 * You should expect your email back from him right away!**

In the second email, you are required to answer any questions he has about you in English. NOTE: Just as you're learning the Spanish language and sometimes struggle to find the words, he will do the same. Please make sure that you respect him just as he respects you. He will expect a pretty long email in which you answer all questions in depth.

Note: Once you complete the TWO emails, please fill out the Rubric below. **It is not necessary to enter this assignment in the Assignment Tracker.**
