SPANISH ORAL EXAMS WITH MRS. TREMINIO STUDENTS GR. 11 AND 12
The following could be suggestions for the students to develop their Spanish language skills
Play a game in Spanish with family members. Scrabble is a great way to teach and learn new words!
Do you have a sibling/siblings also in Spanish Classes? Ensure that you speak to each other in Spanish throughout the day. If you want to have some fun with vocabulary, create a game out of your conversation such as "Association". Example: Un gato/ un raton/ el queso/ las galletas/ etc. Or start by sharing your favourite music artist's name or favourite song and go from there.
Create a 1- minute monologue on a topic of your choice and practice it in front of a mirror to monitor facial expressions, body language, verbal emphasis. This will help develop public speaking skills and your Spanish vocabulary. You could also "become" a book character and create a monologue pertaining to a conflict they faced in the book. Imagine how they were feeling, what they were thinking, etc.
Check out what Netflix, Crave, Amazon Prime offers in movies, tv series, documentaries and have a family movie night in Spanish (use subtitles for parents if necessary!)

What books, graphic novels, magazines do you have at home? Read silently or aloud to a sibling or parent. Keep a reading log of memorable passages, themes, quotes.
