Project:

You will take a hanger and hang four objects from it that represent things that define you.
They can be concrete things (like a baseball) or they can be pictures of things that are important to you. Make sure that you know the names of these things in Spanish. You will present your hanger and explain how the 4 things relate to you in Spanish.

You will begin this way:

Las cuatro cosas que son importantes para mí son….
(The five things that are important to me are…)

You will name the four things.

Then you will explain why you chose each one. Here are some sentences that will help you in this explanation

Ø Me gusta …(if what you like is a singular noun or a verb)
Me gustan…(if what you like is a plural noun)
I like…

Ø Yo soy … (adjective)…
I am…

Ø Yo siempre estoy…
I am always (temporary state- tired, happy, confused)

Ø Yo vivo en
I live in..

Ø Yo siempre voy
I always go…

Ø Me gusta ver
I like to see…

Ø Me gusta jugar
I like to play…

"Me gustas tu" song project

This project is worth 30 points.

10 points: correct use of the verb gustar
10 points: effort: correct vocabulary used throughout
10 points: creativity: how well you followed instructions-how professional it looks (Needs to be typewritten with pictures around it) and if it really reveals something about your character.

What you need to do:

Rewrite the song with the exact same number of stanzas and the exact same number of lines in each stanza--keep the "me gustas tu" at the end of each line the way the original song has it. Only now, fill in the things that you like--make sure that by the end your public knows what you are all about by the things that you mention that you like. Keep the things that you like varied so that different aspects of your character are revealed.
Write the chorus just once the way it is written in your song: Que voy hacer je ne sais pas etc. etc.
For the rest of the time write ESTRIBILLO (chorus) just the way it does in the song format that you read.
This project is due on September 18th. You will seven points for each day after that if you turn it in late.
