Online Flashcard Study
Flashcard study is mandatory. It is the KEY to success in Spanish class! You are required to study at least 15 minutes at least 5 days a week. Students fill out their Vocabulary Study Record, get parent signatures and turn it in every 2 weeks.
Students with internet access should:
*Go to www.classzone.com.
*Click on (1) Middle School World Languages, (2) MN, and (3) GO
*Choose Avancemos 1a (Avancemos 1 is for 8th grade)
*Under Online Review, click on Flashcards
Students without internet access are required to create hard copy flashcards for each unit (recipe cards/index cards work best). Because of the extra effort involved, the students who create hard copy flashcards will be given 3 points of extra credit. Students with internet access can choose to make these as well.
Here is our recommended way to study flashcards….
Step 1: Look at Spanish words and say English words out loud
Step 2: Look at English words and say Spanish words out loud
Step 3: Look at English words and write out Spanish words (you can do this on scratch paper or in an old notebook)
**You may move onto the next step when you have mastered the step you are on. Each step should take approximately 1 to 2 weeks of daily study. |
