31 de diciembre con una gran cantidad de ritos para atraer a la buena suerte. A continuación podrás leer

guidelines below.
¿Quién eres?
A Personal Speech Project Project Rationale/Objectives: Now that you are done with your 2nd year of Spanish, it is time to demonstrate your ability to speak in the target language. The general content for the speech is given below, but there is always room to add your own creative touches. Take this opportunity to impress me. Show me the best of which you are capable. As you begin to write the speech, write in Spanish. Do not write in English and then try to translate everything into Spanish. This is why major errors usually occur because it is impossible to translate some words and phrases directly (example: a student trying to write “I am fifteen years old” and incorrectly writing “soy quince” instead of “tengo quince años”). During the second week of school, you will deliver a speech about yourself to the class. The main goal of taking a foreign language is communication with others. Thus, each student will be assigned a date to give a personal speech completely in Spanish (see rubric for time requirements). Using any English will result in a loss of points. Speak in complete sentences using only the vocabulary that you have learned. If you have to look up a word, chances are that the rest of the class will not know the word, nor understand you. If there are vocabulary words you cannot recall, I suggest that you use www.wordreference.com as a resource. Content for Speech: 1st Paragraph: Basic introduction of yourself a. name, age, birthday b. residence (town and residence type) d. language(s) you speak (or family members speak)
c. personality (describe yourself with adjectives) 2nd Paragraph: Family a. family members (briefly describe) b. nationality (family background)
3rd Paragraph: School a. name and size of school b. transportation you use to get to school (usually) c. what classes you are taking (describe) d. who your teachers are (describe) 4th Paragraph: Clothes, Foods, Hobbies a.
b.
c.
d.
e. what foods do you eat at home / with friends f. what foods do you hate g. what are some of your hobbies h. what sports/activities do you participate in what do you generally like to wear what clothes do you never wear what are your favorite colors what are your favorite foods 5th Paragraph: About yourself a. describe something interesting about yourself that you have not already mentioned b. what did you do this summer (use pretérito) ¿Quién eres?
