Vocabulary
You will not be tested on this vocabulary. The quizlet set is to help you understand the film and other activities more easily, and to help you in your debate prep. Let me know if there are other words from the film, other activities or debate prep. that would be helpful to add to the list: https://quizlet.com/83074748/mar-adentro-flash-cards/
Wed., May 23:
In class (1):
1. We'll discuss the final unit: activities, expectations, etc.
Starter: Practice the vocab. from the above quizlet set for about 10 minutes and then take this "quiz": http://tinyurl.com/MarAdentroVocabStarter
In class (2):
1. I'll distribute a quizlet vocab. list of our final unit for your reference.
2. I'll hand out the comprehension questions from the film and we'll begin to watch Mar adentro (The Sea Inside.) Remind me to stop with 10-15 minutes left to discuss the below homework assignment.
3. I'll explain the double homework assignment, with partners, due Fri., June 1 (guidelines below) and show some examples from prior years.
Remember, everything must be in Spanish except for proper nouns! (Switch your own Facebook page to Spanish if you want, that makes the translation of headings, etc. easy.) This may work better on a computer than on an ipad. So, if you are encountering any problems, you may wish to do it at home or in Learning Commons and/or public libraries. Create one "Fakebook" page per person in your group, no group may have more than three students. You may do just "Fakebook" if you choose to do it alone. Here are the guidelines (but ignore the dates on the pdf-it's due Fri., June 1): Fakebook guidelines.pdf
Here are some additional "Fakebook" links. Don't wait until the last minute. It seems that some years this goes smoothly, but at times technology is not your ally!
1.) This one is supposed to work in googledocs:
2.) http://www.classtools.net/fb/home/page
3.) Scroll down to find the templates: http://www.teachone2one.com/teaching-with-technology/facebook-templatefor-education/
4.) Scroll down until you see "Click here to download the new template for PowerPoint 2010": http://noshhinghere.blogspot.com/2012/02/updated-facebook-template.html
5.) If all else fails, you could actually make a fake Facebook page, screen shot it and send that to me!
Fri., May 25:
We'll watch the film to near the end.
Wed., May 30:
1. We'll finish the film. I will collect the comprehension questions and review them while you translate the poem, Mar adentro, by Ramón Sampedro.
2. Then you will read and answer the questions on interview with Ramón Sampedro.
The poem and the interview count as a double starter.
3. We'll split up into debate teams.
POR: Clara, Enrique, Margarita, Emilia, Santi, Marisol y Jack
CONTRA: Lilia, Jorge, Paloma, Artur, Piña, Pax y Fran
4. Begin to prepare for the debate on the right to die with dignity.
"Fakebook" double homework is due at our next class, Fri., June 1.
Due on Mon., June 4, is the Spanish Civil War project (for the students who didn't take the Capítulo 5 exam, or those who need to make up the Capítulo 4 one.) I realize that we don't have class on Monday, so you will need to come up to my room to airdrop your project.
Fri., June 1:
Double starter:

https://quizlet.com/211487514/mar-adentro-citas-y-personajes-flash-cards/
3. Take this in class "quiz" on the characters/quotations quizlet set. It will count as graded classwork (equal to a homework grade.) If you do not do well on it, you may continue to
re-take it until you are satisfied with your score.

DEBATE
Thu., June 7:
This is your final, it counts as two tests.
It will not require the entire block so we'll have bagels from 158 Pickett St. Café after the debate while you complete the feedback form. I'll bring the bagels, cream cheese, butter & sunflower butter. Please bring your own beverage.
¡BUENA SUERTE!
