Revising and typing "LA RUTINA DIARIA" (50 puntos)
In class we began the writing process of a Regents-like essay in which you describe someone's daily routine, or what they do everyday. Your essay should be approximately 120 words IN SPANISH, and you must use 8 different REFLEXIVE VERBS.
Use this time in the computer lab to revise, edit, type, and polish your "RUTINA DIARIA" story. We will share our essays with the rest of the class on THURSDAY, January 10.
1. Open a WORD document and set it in Spanish [Tools, Languages, Spanish (any)]
2. Use the spellcheck and grammar features as well as http://www.wordreference.com/ to help you revise any mistakes. On your paper, be sure to include your name, a title for your story, and a picture that goes along with it. Please underline or put the verbs in bold. Double-space your document, but please keep it to ONE page, if possible.
3. Be sure to include accent marks [CTRL + ' + AEIOU] and ñ [ALT + 164].
4. Save your work, print your final draft (30 points), and staple the first draft (10 points) and peer edit (10 points) behind it.
Your essay will be graded according to the Regents rubric: vocabulary, organization, grammar, task.
Here is an example of the CHALLENGE part, which is necessary in order to earn an "A":
* Normalmente Snooki tiene una rutina muy aburrida, pero ayer fue diferente. Ella se despertó muy temprano y fue al museo. Ella no se bronceó; ella pasó el día leyendo un libro. Puesto que la ropa estaba limpia, ella visitó a su abuelita y juntas cocinaron una paella. ¡Ayer fue un día muy divertido para Snooki!
