 This week in Spanish III, students have been asked to create a presentation about their daily routine, or “rutina diaria.”

            Students must use at least seventeen verbs in the present tense and a picture for each sentence. Six of these verbs must be reflexive verbs and eleven must be regular verbs. Some common verbs being used are to eat, to fall asleep, and to brush one’s teeth. Students are given a list with over one hundred verbs to choose from. They are also given the option to use vocabulary that is not on the list.

            Students also have the opportunity to earn extra credit with this project. They must use two verbs that are not in the “yo” form. This means that they cannot use the verb while talking about themselves. They must be referring to a different person or a group of people.

            Most students see this as an easy way to receive the extra credit. A lot of people are using their pets as the subject of the presentation, turning human actions into something a dog or cat would do.

            Other people choose to use their parents or siblings in the presentations. Brianna Hersom, junior, used her little sister.

            “The best part of working with my sister was seeing all of the cute pictures I took of her,” said Hersom.

            Spanish III students are to have their speeches memorized and ready to go by Wednesday, September 16.
