You have entered the Spanish wikispace of Virgina Chisholm at Terrell High School.

We are reviewing Ser and Estar in the present tense, something you studied previously. Assignment # 1 -- Study and memorize the vocabulary. If you do not know the vocabulary, look up the words on a free on-line translator.

Please visit my Quia website at [|www.quia.com/pages/chisholmspanish.html] for on-line vocabulary and grammar practice throughout the year. I will frequently update it for the concepts we are currently studying. There are activities for the first 3 assignments. I will add others as we go along.

PreAP and AP students should visit [|www.nationalspanishexam.org] to practice for the test that we will take this year. You will receive 3 test grades for the exam, so you must learn the vocabulary and grammar concepts taught in the various exercises.

PreAP and AP students will also be making wikispaces to add to this site. These assignments are required, and you will receive test grades or daily grades, whichever will benefit your grade the most at semester. You will be required to build sites to teach various assigned concepts. I will link to those sites, and add them to this page for use for regular students and your classmates.

Other websites that you should become familiar with are the following: [|www.languageguide.org] This site will read words to you, and you can hear them and say them.

[|www.a4esl.org] This is a bilingual site for many languages. Do this test to try out the site. [|Multiple Choice Test-- Use this self-correcting test to learn adjectvies to describe people.]

To practice for the Ser Estar Test, go to the following sections.

[|www.studyspanish.com] [|Study Spanish Ser and Estar Part 1] [|Study Spanish Ser and Estar Part 2] [|Study Spanish Ser and Estar Part 3] [|Study Spanish Ser and Estar Part 4] Then take the tests. [|Basic Quiz] Continue on the same page with the following tests.

Try to make your own Vocabulary List. Import pictures and voice your vocabulary. Keep adding to it, and show it to the class to show us your growing linguistic power. Create something for use in class for extra credit. Look at this powerpoint to find websites that I suggest for teaching yourself.
