¡Hola a todos!
Below, you will find our first Voicethread Project. It is based on Actividad 17, in your Workbook (either in your textbook or online, at www.books.quia.com) . Once you have completed this Voicethread activity, you will have shown how well you have achieved your BATs (Be Able To’s) for chapter 1. The first slide shows you what the activity looks like; the second slide is a video of me (Profe) providing you an example of what you should be able to say in your own voicethread.
First, you will write out all the sentences you will learn and practice speaking. Second, you will email them to me or hand them in so I can correct them for you. You will learn the corrected version of your sentences.
You will have as many chances as you wish to record your Voicethread audio/video. You will see next to your name, once you have logged in, a little trash can icon. If you are not satisfied with your recording, you can “throw your recording in the trash” and start again!
If you do not yet have a webcam or a microphone on your own computer, use the computers in FRED. All have microphones installed.
To view this Voicethread to see what this first assignment is, click on the “Play” arrow in the middle of the screen, below. (Note: to actually record and submit your own work, scroll down to the voicethread links at which you will set up your voicethread account and then join either SPA 101.01 or SPA 101.02):
Note: To view the Voicethreads on the full screen of your computer, look in the upper right hand side of the Voicethread. You will see an “X” icon. To the left of it, there is a control button that will expand your screen. To return to the normal view of your Voicethread, press the “ESC” key on your computer (on the top left of your keyboard).
Note, too, that on some computers, voicethread videos do not play (the screen goes grey) on Mozilla Firefox. Should this happen, try to view the voicethread with Internet Explorer. I have had no trouble with videos on my Mac using Safari. Please post to this page any problems you are having with any of this technology. Sign your name, please!
To actually WORK with this voicethread and add your own audio and/or video, you must:

The books.quia.com site has been servicing their site. This has made it impossible for me to input assignments on the site. YOU, on the other hand, can access the site and work on it with no problem.
Not all assignments for SPA 101.01 for Monday, October 18, are visible. This is what you can see:
I am sending you this alert to provide you with the work due for Monday:
In addition to what IS visible on the Quia site, please do Workbook activities for chapter 3: #1-3.
Assignments for SPA 101.02 for Tuesday are not posted, at all. For Tuesday:
1) Study and learn: Vocabulario útil 1-3. Make sure you know the vocabulary before you try doing the workbook activities. Once you are confident you know the vocabulary, try to produce answers (in your book) for the textbook activities that correspond to them.
2) Do Workbook activities for chapter 3: #1-6.
3) BATs (“Be Able To’s”): Come to class able to:
a) Talk about your class schedule and ask friends about theirs using the vocabulary for all the different kinds of courses people take in college.
b) Talk about where on campus you do various things using the vocabulary of places on campus.
c) Ask for and give the time of day (and night!)
d) Tell people on what date you do particular activities and ask them when they do them.
Hasta lunes o martes…

Did you know you can record your voicethread directly from that page on the blog? Click on “Comment” to make your recording choices (audio or video recording) appear.
Let Profe know how you’re doing… If you have not already had your voicethread script corrected, send your script to Profe as soon as possible, and she will provide you with corrections. Learn your corrected script and record it onto this voicethread page.
Remember: No reading your script! You can refer to a list of palabras claves (key words) to help you remember what you wanted to say…
Remember, too: You can record your voicethread as many times as you wish…until you are satisfied with your recording. Recording and re-recording is terrific practice, as well!
Keep in touch; ask for help if you need it!
