Mission

• Choose a person that you would like to meet or a
  person that you admire.
• The person may be real or fictitious. Examples,
  Homer Simpson, A-Rod, Tiki Barber, Danika
  Patrick, Condoleeza Rice, George Bush, Kelly
  Clarkson etc.
• 2. Using the information that we have learned
  thus far, you will create/write a dialogue in
  Spanish between you and this person.

3
Rules

• You MAY NOT use an online translator or any
  online sources. Also, you may not consult native
  or heritage speakers. This will be considered
  cheating and you will receive a zero if you
  choose to ignore my directions.
• You can consult a text book, your notes/packets,
  and any of the Spanish teachers at GMS/GHS. A
  Spanish dictionary (non-electronic) may be used
  as well.
• Try to stick to things/words you know. In
  other words, try to avoid excessive use of the
  dictionary.

4
Rules

• Your dialogue must be at least 100 words in
  length. Try to use verbs and vocabulary you have
  acquired throughout Spanish 1 and Spanish 2.
• You must include the following items in your
  dialogue
• 3 O? UE verbs (repeats do not count)
• 3 E? IE verbs (repeats do not count)
• 2 E? I verbs (repeats do not count)
• Please underline these words in your final
  copy.

Helpful Hints

• Remember, you only know the present tense. Avoid
  words that end in -ed or questions that start
  with did.
• You cannot ask How long have you played
  baseball?
• You can ask Do you play in every game? How
  often do you play baseball? Etc.

6
Helpful Hints

• When writing a question in Spanish avoid
  translating the word DO.
• Example Do you have brothers and sisters?
• Incorrect Haces tienes hermanos?
• Correct Tienes hermanos?
• In Spanish, do is already understood and does
  not need to be included as it does in English.

7
Helpful Hints

• Consult question chart in your notes.
• For example
• Tiene Ud. hermanos?
• The question uses the Ud. form
• therefore, the response must be
• in the Yo form.
• Sí, yo tengo tres hermanos.
