It's time to show off the Spanish skills you've been working on. With these "Putting it Together" activities, you are going to take everything that you've learned so far and put it together in a realistic situation. Sometimes you'll answer questions about documents and pictures that you see, sometimes you'll write stories and descriptions--sometimes you'll do both! These activities will really help you see how Spanish is used in the real world. Good luck! Performance Challenge

Write yourself an excuse note for a missed school day due to an illness or injury. Indicate to the office secretary what ailed you. Did you go to the doctor or no? What were you sick with -or- what did you injure? What did you do to help yourself get better. How are you feeling now? Write a minimum of 5 complete and detailed sentences in Spanish.

You will be graded on (a) appropriate use of grammar and vocabulary, (b) completeness and detail of the response, and (c) overall quality of the response.
