Hello Everyone!

Today this post is going to be a little different from the other blog post from before. In this post I’m going to post some announcements for the class. Usually I post some observation from what I’ve seen during class; well this is going to look like that in the form of a blog post.

Announcement #1: Essay Final Deadline

• During the last few classes we have been working with writing an essay. Some of you may have noticed that on the day of the deadline I looked over you essays wrote comments and sent them back to you to revise. The revised essays should be handed it no later than May 1^st.
• The deadline of May 1^st also is for the people who have not handed in the essay at all. You have until May 1^st to hand in the essay.

Announcement #2: Senior Expo

• On April 30^th and May 1^st the senior class is going to put on their exposition of their research projects for Spanish class. The Expo is going to be through Google Meet on the dates mentioned before. If you have a chance during these two days go and check the projects out. They are an example of research projects and how some of the topics we’ve discussed in class are put into practice.

Final Observations:

• Remember that the assignments are available on Google Classroom. If you have any problems accessing the platform let me know.
• I am available through Google Hangouts at the time of the class. This is in case you have any doubts about the class material, I’ll be available in real-time to help you.
• Before you begin any assignment, take your time to read through the instructions carefully before beginning to work on the exercises. Especially the method of hand in for the assignments. Again if you have trouble with the instructions let me know to help you.
