Spanish IV – Summer Reading 2016

Summer Reading Assignment: 200 points,

The goal of Spanish IV is to build your skills in listening, reading, writing, speaking, and culture.

It is very important that you practice these skills as often as you can this summer. This summer reading assignment has been designed to help you practice each of these skills. There are four parts to the summer reading assignment. If you have trouble with any of the steps, please e-mail me (ayork@). I will check my e-mail at least once each week.

Tarea #1: Película

Watch ONE of the following biographical movies. Choose one that you haven’t seen before. Please discuss your movie choice with your parents. Your parent must write a note that you will turn in on the first day of class to confirm that you discussed this choice with him or her and received his/her permission before watching the movie. You can rent most of these movies from Amazon for $2-$3 but you may be able to check them out for free from your local library or find them on Netflix* or Hulu^.

a) As you watch the movie, take notes about people, places, culture, customs, etc. Type your notes and save them on a Word document titled “Película.” (20 pts. culture)

c) After watching the movie, answer the following questions in paragraph format in Spanish. Save these responses to your “Película” file, which will be submitted to on the first day of class. 1) Describe at least three characters from the movie, each with a complete paragraph 2) Write a critique of the movie. What did you like, what did you not like? What surprised you? (20 pts. culture)

d) Prepare a two-minute video presentation in Spanish about the person whose life was portrayed in your chosen movie. You should do additional research to find pictures and to add to the facts presented in the movie. Upload the video to YouTube and paste the link in your “Película” file (20 pts. speaking).
