Cabo took his Spanish 1 Final Exam today.

The exam was divided into a multiple choice component and an essay portion.

He completed the multiple choice section first. At first glance, he seems to have done well on the test.

He was given a short break so as not to overwhelm him with testing.

He then took the essay portion of the exam.

Cabo continues to study for his final exam. He worked on his Spanish Vocabulary for the entire year today.

We went over flash cards and discussed the terms with which he was not readily familiar.

He did a good job being focused on class on today.

Today, Cabo and I used Quizlet to help him review for the year.

We reviewed note cards from the entire year. He worked through 85 note cards today.

Cabo practiced his essay writing again.

This time Cabo was to verbalize the information of his essay. I then wrote the essay. This arrangement was to take the focus off of the physical act of writing and place the effort into the content of the essay.

Cabo did well composing a Spanish essay.

Cabo worked on a practice essay in preparation for his final exam. He asked good questions regarding the essay and the format of the test.

He wrote an entire 5 paragraph essay in Spanish with notes during class. He was able to write an A or B level paper which bodes well for his coming test.

Cabo was given time to study vocabulary words for his test.

We then reviewed Cabo’s essays so that he will be prepared for the essay portion of his final exam.

Cabo and I then practiced writing the introductory paragraph to one of his essays. As a test taking strategy, we hope to use the introductory paragraphs as a map for our writing during the test that way he does not have to memorize an entire essay.

Bobby and I read Chapter 3 of The Adventures of Isabella.

The chapter lists a set of body parts in its text. We kept track of those body parts by making a drawing and then labeling the drawing as we read aloud.

We then participated in the first portion of a review of the year’s content. We ended our review at the stem-changing and “go” verbs.

Cabo was presented a review of the stem-changing verbs. We covered o-ue, e-i, and e-ie.

Cabo was then given time to study for the test.

He was also guided through an activity of finding verbs for his 100 verb test.

Cabo and I discussed the results of his 100 verb pretest.

He did quite well. We will hope to improve his test score through study prior to him taking the actual test.

We then mapped the knowledge that he should possess by the end of the school year and all the many subjects that were covered in the text up to this point.

Out of all of the subjects covered, Cabo identified reflexive verbs and contractions as top topics to review prior to his final exam.

Cabo took a 100 verb pre-test today. He displayed great focus, and he put in wonderful effort.

The test took the entirety of our time. Cabo appeared to do the best with the first of the four sections and then was challenged progressively more and more by each section.
