WordUp and Quizlet Activities

Hello students!

I hope this unexpected "break" has treated you well. I hope you have increased your vocabulary by using our WordUp app on your cellphone. First, make sure you include new words to your list by clicking on the question-mark-inside-a-head icon. More words will appear, and you will select the ones you know, and you don't in order to keep learning. Your knowledge map must be at least half full. Secondly, use the "Explore" section. Warning: you will have to watch some ads to continue. At the end of the "break" you will have to reach over 50% on each of the first seven categories (Family, Furniture, Cooking, Clothes, Colours, Animals, Fruits) and 50% over two of the remaining categories of your choice (Bible BBE, Bible ASV, Geography, Medical, Arts, Math, Computers, Business, Money, and Sex). Play all the games (Confuse me! Said What?, Spell it, and Smart Eyes). Take evidence of each game on the individual mode AND the "challenge your friends" sections. In total, you will have to present twelve screenshots of your progress: eight from the games (individual and challenges), one from your "knowledge map", two from the mandatory seven categories, and at least one from your optional categories. Each screenshot equals a signature. This activity is mandatory for second AND fourth semesters.

In terms of Quizlet, I would like you to go to this new Quizlet link. Before beginning, please create an account. This can be linked to FB or Gmail. You will find a series of flashcards with irregular verbs on them. Review all of them by clicking on the card first and then on the right arrow below to continue. You can also see the list and hear the pronunciation on the bottom part of the page below the flashcard. Once you finish checking the verbs, you might proceed to the "estudiar" activities. Your progress will appear on the left side and will be saved as long as you are logged in. Once you are done with these learning activities, you might proceed to the games. Don't forget to take evidence of each section you finish. This activity is also mandatory for second AND fourth semesters. 

Second semester students, if you need to review how verbs are formed in the past tense, please watch this online video. Fourth semester students, if you haven't understood the use of the past participle in the passive voice, please watch this online video.

If you have questions, I will schedule three zoom sessions this week to explain everything in detail. Access to the explanation here! 

The tentative times are as follows:

Choose the one that fits with you the best here!

Tuesday, March 24th, 8:00 p.m.

Wednesday, March 25th, 10:00 a.m.

Wednesday, March 25th, 8:00 p.m.

Lastly, second semester students, you will have to keep a diary, but I will explain the details through zoom. I hope this post makes sense for the most part.

Regards,

Aída
