Computer Lab: April 30

Use this time in the computer lab to complete the assigned Castle Learning activity, a practice Regents exam.

The NYC Spanish Regents Exam is on June 17, and we will start administering the speaking section during the week of May 20. 

Poem in Your Pocket Day (Poema en el bolsillo)

Vamos a celebrar "Poem in Your Pocket Day" este jueves y viernes.

Select a poem in Spanish, carry it with you, and share it with at least 10 others throughout the day. You can also share your poem selection on Twitter by using the hashtag #pocketpoem.

We'll share our poems aloud in small groups in class on Friday, so please print out 5 copies of your poem so that your buddies can read along with you.  Please try to format your poem in a word document so that you use less paper (Earth Day is coming soon, too!).

To earn points for your participation in Poem in Your Pocket Day, keep a list of the at least 10 others to whom you read your poem aloud during the day.  Have them sign or initial as proof that you read the poem aloud to them.  Forgery will anger the Muses...

The goal of this assignment is just for everyone to have a pleasant, meaningful experience with at least one poem -- so have fun!!
