SUMMER ASSIGNMENT – Incoming Spanish 2 - PRE IB or HONORS – REVIEW LOG
This assignment was designed to keep all of your tenses fresh in your memory so that the transition to next year’s Spanish class goes smoothly. Use the tenses
suggested for each assignment.
** Blog: you must write an entry for each of the topics given. Each topic should be at least 50 words in length to be considered an acceptable entry. It is always
