Proyecto con el imperfecto: Clase de Español
“Cuando era niño(a)”
Rough Draft Due (homework grade): __________________________
Poster Project & Oral Presentation Date (project grade): ______________
As we now know, the imperfect tense can be used to describe what you and others “used to do” in the
past. In this project, you will write a rough draft in which you describe your childhood and what you
“used to do” back then---you will USE THE IMPERFECT TENSE in the creation of this description.
Then, you will create a Poster, Video or Power- Point, Google slides of this description to share with
the class. If using Google slides or Drive, save your project often and be sure to share with me, at
Google Classroom Project Folder.
IF YOU USE ANY SORT OF ON-LINE TRANSLATOR, I CAN EASILY DETECT IT. YOU WILL RECEIVE A
ZERO.
YOU MAY USE A DICTIONARY TO TRANSLATE INDIVIDUAL WORDS. DO NOT USE A HISPANIC
FRIEND TO TRANSLATE FOR YOU
