Cuando Yo Era Nino Project

“Cuando yo era niño/a…” Project

Spanish 2 Honors

Imperfect Tense Project

Project Description:

Since we have been working the imperfect tense in class, you will be assigned to complete a “Cuando yo era niño/a…”/ “When I was a child…” project. The purpose of this project is so that you can continue to practice and gain competency in using the imperfect tense through a more personalized alternative assessment. You will be expected to apply the use of the imperfect tense within the context of your childhood. You will also be expected to present the finished product to the teacher and to your classmates in Spanish on the designated due date.

Project Requirements:

You must use the imperfect tense to discuss your childhood pastime activities throughout your entire project however you will be asked to use the preterit in at least 3 instances. The project consists of 3 components:

VISUAL
· You must choose a visual tool to present your project.
The tool must give you the ability to record your voice, upload pictures and type text
Example: Powerpoint, Prezi, Showme (seach on the computer for presentational tools)
You must include a minimum:
· 10 images of your childhood and pastime activities
These may be actual photos (please upload photos (digital or take pictures of your pictures) to your
email account or save photos to a flash drive) or you may access/print images from the internet.
You may enhance your project by including SPANISH music in the background however this is not a requirement
WRITTEN
1. In order to discuss your childhood, each image must be accompanied by a sentence written in the IMPERFECT TENSE. The sentences should describe childhood pastimes that are relevant to the images you have decided to include in your project.
2. To practice the use of the imperfect in contrast to the perterite you will need to include at least 3 uses of the preterit as well.
3. You must use at least 30% of the vocabulary words, verbs and/or expressions from Etapa 2.1 y 2.2 and expressions ( 38 words must be from these lists) and include a typed list of the words/verbs you used as part of your project. You may repeat vocabulary however it should only be counted once.
4. You must have at least 10 written sentences total in your presentation and vary your verb usage, expressions, and vocabulary. Do not use the “yo” form in every slide.
