Using your notes and the vocab list, the groups

should compile a list of at least 5 sentences, en

espaol. The more the better. Work together or

divide up the work amongst yourselves.

Hand these in when you have at least 5 (the more,

the better).

Youll see these again in some form next week!

When youre done with that, move on to the T quin

eres sheet, so you know with whom youve been

talking!
