Presentacion de una pintura y tarea de pluscuamperfecto.

Completar UVM p. 38-40 act ABC

Presentacion de arte. Bring in a piece of artwork OR post a comment with a link to the location of the artwork by 10PM (I will collect them all and put them in one place).

In your presentation, TRY to address the following questions:

Por que te gusta?
Que esta pasando en la obra?
Como son las figuras de la obra?
Que ha hecho el artista?
Describe el estilo de la obra.
Compara con otros artistas.

One minute is a long time, you might not be able to address all these prompts. Just aim to speak semi-fluidly for 1 minute. I will cut you off if you run over. The best way to prepare for this is to practice speaking about it. If you want, call one of your friends up and talk to her/him about it. DO NOT WRITE THIS OUT AHEAD OF TIME OR MEMORIZE SOMETHING. IF YOU DO, I WILL FLIP OUT AND LEAVE THE ROOM SCREAMING "WHY DON'T THEY BELIEVE ME?!?". You will get much more out of 15 minutes of talking to yourself than you will from 15 minutes of writing something out and memorizing it. Trust me.

You may have a notecard, piece of paper, hand, t-shirt etc. with 8 words on it total. 5 key words (palabras claves) and 3 verbos from your list of 266 verbs (preferably words you DON'T use on a regular basis).

You will receive somewhere from 1-9 points based on a modified version of the AP rubric for extended speaking selections.
