He started with his essay. He decided to break away from what he had studied for a couple of the paragraphs. He showed courage by choosing to step away from the beaten path.
Matthew earned many points in the vocabulary section.
He did an excellent job of navigating a higher level test that required a greater percentage of student generated content.
Bella worked on translating, memorizing, reconfiguring, and breaking apart her Spanish paragraphs.
She would work on one paragraph at a time and then practice writing that paragraph under test-like conditions. We were able to work on two of her paragraphs during our hour.
She should continue to work on the rest of them. She can earn extra credit by submitting her written attempts of the paragraphs.
Bella and I spoke at length about the material that might be on her final exam. She was given a thorough list of possible material that included sections dealing with reading, writing, speaking, listening. Bella was given specific examples of questions that may appear such as discussing key concepts of Spanish 3 (subjunctive, conditional, future, etc.), culturally relevant events (dirty war, calle ocho, etc.), specific lists of vocabulary, and songs that use the Spanish subjunctive.
