Unit/Theme: Energia en mi casa
In this unit, you will learn Spanish language and culture, history, math, reading comprehension, thinking
skills, writing skills and computer skills? Homework helps you learn new information and practice things you
have already learned. The best way to use homework as a study aid is to complete one assignment each week,
the night after you have had Spanish class. Complete these assignments in any order you want within the next 6
weeks. I will check your notebook each week and sign the assignment that you have completed. You don’t have
to complete all 9 assignments, but may choose which ones you like. For easy access to websites, go to my
website: http://clubview.muscogee.k12.ga.us/spanish2009.htm and scroll to the bottom. Click on your
assignment and when the page opens, control + click on the link you need. You will be graded as follows:
6+ assignments completed well = Exceeds
5 assignments completed well = Satisfactory
4 assignments completed = Needs Improvement 3 or less completed = Unsatisfactory
