Writing
Describe tu casa en español using el vocabulario de capítulos 6A y 6B y de otros capítulos.
Although you may include vocabulary from outside of the textbook, it’s best to stick with sentence
structures that you have learned (por ejemplo: there is/are..., I have..., the room has..., it is next
to/close to/far from/under/etc.). We will be working on the writing in class – rough drafts need to be
turned in, commented on, and returned to you for final writing. Final drafts must be written
NEATLY!
Paragraph 1: ¿Cómo es el césped? ¿el patio? (at least 4-6 GOOD sentences)
Describe the outside de la casa. What’s in front, back, around...? Use colores,
adjetivos, y preposiciones to be descriptive. The more you write, the better!
Paragraph 2: ¿Cómo es la casa? (at least another 4-6 GREAT sentences)
Choose 3 rooms – not your bedroom – to describe: la sala (formal)/la sala de familia
(informal), la cocina, el baño, el comedor, la oficina, etc). Again, the more, the better!
Paragraph 3: ¿Cómo es tu habitación? (at least ANOTHER 4-6 AWESOME sentences)
¡Describe tu dormitorio!
**You are able to write fairly complex sentences by this point. Build on them! Instead of
saying, “There is a couch”, say, “In the family room, there is a blue couch next to/to the
right of/to the left of the door.”

Now, you’re a real estate agent! You’re trying to convince everyone that YOUR casa ideal is la
mejor! Choose 8 things to talk about – both on the inside and the outside of the house – to “sell” la
casa. **You will not be reading from your essay! No one wants to buy a house from someone who
doesn’t even know the house!**
