EVALUACIONES TEMÁTICASdel primer cuarto de Español 4ACC

(Must be completed by Friday Nov. 9th)

Durante la última semana del semestre, habrá evaluaciones temáticas y prepararás el portafolio de aula. Cada día, habrá evaluaciones y tendrá tiempo para organizar tus trabajos.

Evaluación de escribir – DUE antes de la clase el viernes 9 noviembre Using your best proofreading, spelling, and writing skills, compose a 1-2 page essay in SPANISH delineating the different ways in which we, as people, come to understand the idea of ‘love’. Base your essay on observations from the works we have studied in class and, with the help of the organization chart, analyze, compare, and contrast the main characters, themes, types of love, and historical/social perspectives and how they impact the characters/our interpretations of the idea of love.

* Practice: Review your skills in grammar, review this theme’s readings and think about the different types of love.

(If essay is typed, include accent marks and special characters...if hand written, please hand in neat and organized product.) ****Do NOT hand in a “Google translator special”. They read awkwardly and it’s generally evident you abused the help of an otherwise useful resource. Use ‘wordreference.com’ to help you figure out the most correct way to say something if you don’t know.
