NIVEL AVANZADO DE ESPAÑOL

Assignments for the Spanish Advanced Level

 

Week # 10                                      Due Date: 10/23/2003.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 

Looking at the progress report, I realize that many students in my class are not passing. The only question I can give to them is:”Do you want to get your credit in Spanish?”, and the only reasonable answer I can imagine should be “Yes, I want to get my credit in Spanish!”. The only comment I can make about your answer is very logical and simple:” If you want to get your credit, keep yourself on task, and finish your assignments on time”. If you need help, ask your teacher to help you. He will be glad to help you. Don’t stay behind!
