 * II) Finish from Homework 2 classes ago if not completed: Hay que ver la tarea abajo-__el 12 de diciembre.__**

III) PLEASE READ-Important INFO about Written Assignement: **Attached is the "Trabajo Escrito" we wrote in class. Please have a look over it and read it. Notice how I changed some things to make the Description for Halloween more balanced. I took info from comparison and put in Description. (also added to google docs). The purpose of writing this together was to help you go through the process of writing one together so you could see the process you will need to go through to plan and write your own. We planned, wrote, analyzed, changed and rewrote to come up with a good final product. You should do this as well before you write the real Trabajo Escrito in February after Chinese New Year. Here is a timeline for what you will need to do:**


 * 1) BEFORE WINTER break-give me your topic. Lo siento-I am not allowed to let you choose the same topic as someone else. Here is what I have so far (included ideas to guide you!):**
 * __Joie de Vie:__ Tomb Sweeping Day/Chinese Worship of Ancestors VS Day of the Dead** //(If you can find some good articles on Tomb Sweeping Day/Chinese Ancestor worship, this would be a really good topic! You would have to change the focus a bit from the paper we wrote-can't copy directly. Can use the same sources we used for Day of the Dead. Would take some thought.)//

__**Carlos:**__ Films from Spain VS Films from UK (try to narrow focus-some ideas: A fantasy Film in UK vs a Fantasy Film in Spain -e.g...you could compare Pans Labyrinth with Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis adapted to a movie. Both are stories of good vs evil. Both appear to be movies for children but there are deeper messages for adults. They have different endings/messages..why? Pans Labyryth turns out to be confusing/shocking/perhaps not appropriate for children because it has a somewhat tragic ending. What historical events/cultural views/beliefs influenced the stories & endings? How do cultural artistic forms/genres such as surrealism/realism influence the story of Pans Labyryth?... would need to do a bit of research but could be interesting. Remember you only need 300 words so don't need to go into too much detail. Or you could compare Pans Labyrinth with the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales & Ancient GermanFolklore. (the orignals were quite grim) You could compare the recent movie Snow White with Charlize Theron (a Grimm Fairy Tale) to Pans Labyrinth?? Throwing out ideas for you...


 * Rafael: Chinese New Year VS New Years in Spain** //if Joie de Vie doesn't do?//


 * Ruby:**
 * Kelvin:**
 * Jacky:**
 * See files in previous HW for ideas.**

2) Over winter break find articles on your topic. Send me the articles/links to see if they are appropriate. Read the articles underlining and annotating relevant info.

3) After Mock Exams: Week of January 20th fill out graphic organiser very carefully and thoughtfully. Your graphic organiser will be checked to see if your ideas and organisation are logical and sound.

4) During Week of Jan 27th and/or during Chinese New Year: Jan 30-Feb.5th: Using your graphic organiser to guide you-You will write a practice "Trabajo Escrito". AFTER you write it, you may want to get a Spanish speaker/or someone who knows Spanish to check over it for accuracy and understanding of message. //Remember-it should be your own work.// Memorize how you wrote it so you are prepared to write the real thing.

5) Write "Trabajo Escrito" in Class on 13th February for 2 hours. Periods 5, 6 & lunchtime (11:10-1:10) Will need to eat something before or eat a late lunch.

=__TAREA PARA MARTES EL 18 de diciembre__= II) Termina la tarea sobre el medio ambiente (12 de diciembre) si no lo terminaste

III) Answer Reflexión questions: -Look at the notes we took in class in document, then write the answers to the 3 questions >>>- Write the sentences as you would in the actual essay. See the model essay to help you>>>

IV) Choose a topic for your own "Trabajo Escrito" take some time to do some research on the internet to get ideas or find sources. Here are some possible ideas. Topics should come from Ab Initio Themes. Look at themes and see if there is a topic that interests you to compare to your culture: = = = = =__TAREA PARA JUEVES EL 12 DE DICIEMBRE__= Hay una sección en los Mocks sobre el medio ambiente (environment). Por eso hay que hacer lo siguiente: -Ve el libro en la red- [|AVANCEMOS] OR HARD COPY: PP 422,423-THE ENVIRONMENT (EL MEDIO AMBIENTE) 1- Primero lee A-D en pp. 422,423 y contesta estas preguntas en el documento aquí>>> - puedes ver p. 441 "En resumen" para la lista de vocabulario en inglés y español. 2-Luego tienes que ver el video en p. 422 para mejorar tu entendimiento del vocabulario. 3-Después, para practicar el vocabulario,hay que hacer pp.1-3 aquí >>> 4-Por último, para mejorar tu entendimiento del futuro debes hacer el resto de los ejercicios en pp. 3,4,5 aquí>>>

También-take some time to revise corrected assignments you have got back to understand your errors, why you made them, and to help avoid them in the future!
