How are you doing? I hope everything is OK. I know that this new unit has a lot to do with physical appearance, and some of you find it really complicated to try to remember all the words which have just been introduced to you. However, I also know that these words are really useful for you all since we very often, need to describe a person's appearance. So, I found a very interesting site where you can learn much more vocabulary not only to describe faces, but the whole appearance, and personally speaking, this site will become one of your favourites because it has the exact words you need to know to describe someone. The funny thing, is that the site was created to help Engish-speaking people to learn Spanish! Here's the link:
http://www.lingolex.com/appearance.htm
Once you have checked this I want you to choose 10 words to make 10 sentences. The words must be of the different categories shown in the site, I mean, you can choose 2 about face, 1 about noses, 3 about hair, etc. Please try to choose the words which you find the most difficult to remember or use, and illustrate at least 5 of your 10 sentences using drawings, pictures or whatever you want. You have to show them to me by Wednesday in class.
Then you have to print the activity in the following link and hand it out by Friday, in this case, you have to write a synonym of the compound adjectives that you make on the right.

See you! Take care. Ah! I almost forget that this time it's a must to drop a line in the blog about what you think of the site and the activitiy. OK? Bye
I think it was really difficult for me to check the sites, because the first one wasn't available, and the second one was confusing and I didn't know exactly where to click to find the information I was looking for.

ResponderEliminarhi teacher!
ResponderEliminarim mariana...at first i had the same problem that julia, but after a while i find the solution. The first site in my opinion was great because have a lot of information and words that i have never heard before, now with the exercise you gave us i learn new words, so its great. But i dont like to much the second site with the other exercise because i cant check if i am ok or not, i have no qualification, and i like to check the answers by myself to see if im fine.( i do not do trap really!jeje) well thats all, see you tomorrow!!
Hi miss!! I think the first site is very useful for us, the thing is that I couldn't open it and I've tried everything I can, so I hope you understand my situation. At least I could open the second site after many tries jaja. See you tomorrow!!
ResponderEliminarI don't know why my name is ertger jaja but I'm Sandy. I think I need some lessons about blogs. See you tomorrow
ResponderEliminar==Hi Teacher thank you for these exercises==
ResponderEliminarI admit that I am worried because there were a lot of words that I don’t know about physical appearance in the first exercise, but I think that Illustrating is a good way to remember the meaning of many words.
I want to tell you that the extra help that you gave us is very usefull mmm... well for me because sometimes is a bit difficult to understand and express what I have lernt from the topics, anyway I wish for myself the best in this semester¡¡¡

I try writing the page as you told us, but it doesn't work, because it doesn't show me the activity that you ask for, it just show me the general page!
What can I do? =S I need help!!
Hi teacher I have done the second activty about compound adjectives and I realised that there are other ways to say the same thing :-), I suggest to my classmates that they visit www.woxikon.es/here you could find synonims about some adjectives.
ResponderEliminarI hope you feel better. Take care
